I had a stent in April, and am on Plavix for six months, I knew that one cannot take Paxlovid antiviral together with Plavix if one catches Covid. My new primary care doctor here in Twin Cities passed my info to their Covid team but told me he did not know when they would call me and if there would be quantities of monoclonal antibody treatment available. He suggested I use my Mayo contacts. I am always on the Internet and saw a new study from Mayo that one monoclonal is almost as good as Paxlovid. I emailed one of the doctors and he responded right away. I also contacted my Mayo Pulmonologist to refer me to Mayo Covid team. I got a call within the hour. ON TOP OF THAT, the next morning (SATURDAY) I am just about to go into a Mayo Clinic for infusion and I get a call from Mayo Covid team. They did not know I already had an appointment and were reaching out to me because they track Minnesota positive Covid cases and contact Mayo patients to offer treatment. Mayo had my medical data, and they score patients on risk and contact those at highest risk of severe disease. Now that is how life is supposed to be. ....Now here in town? I had positive test on Thursday 6:30pm, spoke to Primary Fri morning and heard NOTHING from their Covid team until Mon at 11:05 am. That person explained to me that 1) they don't work on weekends 2) they don't score patients based on risk. It is a lottery system to be "fair". People with risk of 2 are mixed together with people with risk 15. And they had no openings for another two days earliest. Treatment should be started as early as possible, pills within 5 days and monoclonal within 7 days - so they are reaching patients too late. I of course submitted a complaint on that! One uses a lottery system when everyone is EQUAL, and the CDC clearly addresses treatment to be based on risk..and Covid works the weekend
