I am in my 70s and within a few hours of taking PAXLOVID my symptoms went away. I took it the first time I had Covid. When I had Covid a second last year I decided to suffer the symptoms without PAXLOVID so I felt crappy for three or four days.

I really think treating Covid for older people is a very different than treating young people.

That said, when I took PAXLOVID my daughter, son in law and grandson had the same Covid strain I did at the same time and their symptoms were very bad and lasted ten days to over two weeks.
