When is it a good idea to take paxlovid regardingh regarding health opposed to maybe just letting the virus play itself out . Well, if you are at risk, if you have underlying risk factors, it is definitely a good a good idea to take paxlovid. There is rebound with paxlovid. There is rebound without paxlov. This is, i think this may be a feature of the omicron, some of these new omicron variants we have not seen in the past befor. As far as we know, you know, the the paxlovid works great for keeping people out of the hospil ever keeping them from getting more severe disease. If it is i, it is indicated. Dont worry about the potential for rebound. For rebound. Doctor, thank you for the answer there. The first ladys team says are no symptoms of coe back. How likely is it people may have rebound cases but just dont know its because they dont have symptoms, such as we heard in the first months of covid . Sure. A lot of people get symptoms, as well. The cdc currently estimates a 20 of people with these current variants of covid are getting rebound, which is anywhere from two to eight days after the disease resolves. They could have both asymptomatic disease where they just test positive and they could have some dramatic disease. Symptomatic is is a little more common. It happens. It happens increasingly frequently. Lets talk about transmission transmission because that speaks speaks to the spread. Is covid any more or less transmissible in these rebound windows versus the initial case . That is a perfectly legitimate question. The have been cases of transmission during rebound. That is not an absolute complete no. I think rebound is a function of how high your viral loads are and if if they are high enough to trigr a positive test. I think you have to assume you are infectious. So we know the president has started to wear a mask at home. He has passed the first case and and then the rebound case. Dr. Biden has passed the first case and is in the rebound case. Should they keep the mask on . I dont know what they were telling him. It would seem he should be immune at this point n point in time. I dont know why they are doing that. She probably is infectious. He is probably over it but he will have some immunity for a while, several weeks, at least. Fascinating.
