Comrades, I have tested postive with the novel coronavirus :meow-tableflip:
Does anyone have an idea of what it takes to get a prescription for paxlovid or remdesivir? Seems like you need to have some sort of proof for underlying conditions, but I have none.
I swear to god they should've made antivirals freely available, but what else do you expect from a failed state. :amerikkka:

That's if you're trying to get a prescription from the pharmacist. You can say that you have a high-risk condition without specifying what that condition is. Note that they'll charge you if the pharmacist prescribes (but not for paxlovid itself).
If you have a primary care doctor, though, they would be a surer bet (though not necessarily faster). Just message your doctor on their online portal, tell them you're COVID-positive and ask for a Paxlovid prescription in order to avoid long COVID complications.
HHS has a Test to Treat page that is supposed to tell people what to do in order to get Paxlovid.
Try calling your county health deopartment, the ones in my county will give you a paxlovid prescription so you don't have to go to the doctor.
