[quote=Anonymous]It’s always out there. While Maryland and DC infection rates are low, chances are 70% that in a room with 100 people at least one person is sick: https://www.pmc19.com/data/index.php. If you have school-age children, ride transit, attend a house of worship, or travel, there’s a good chance chance of exposure. Also, if you were vaccinated in the fall your vaccine likely no longer protects against infection even though it is still effective in preventing severe illness and hospitalization.

If you are prescribed Paxlovid, the Paxcess program to offset high out-of-pocket costs appears to be available still: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/media/pdfs/2024/07/Treatment-PDF_PAXCESS-Brochure.pdf.

As for testing, you can order a Binax (flu and Covid) two-test kit from Amazon for $22 for overnight delivery. You can also order tests in advance to have them on-hand. It may even be free through your insurer. Walgreens has some more info.: https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/covid19/otc-test.[/quote]
