Why Not?

I tested positive for covid last week at a walk in clinic. They did not prescribe me any medication. They told me to contact my PCP if I felt I needed medication. I spoke with a PA in my doctor’s office and she told me I could go get the iv infusion and that she would call me in cough medicine.
Why do they not automatically give the iv infusion to those that test positive as well as prescribe antibiotics to prevent possible pneumonia?

Just like with all things Covid... treatment is all over the fricking place on it as well...

why not give everyone the I.V. infusion
I'd call him back and ask for a Hydroxychloroquine prescription and Augmentin and then pick up 250mg of Zinc sulfate OTC and you are protected.

If you're not fat, not old, and not showing any symptoms, chances are you're not a candidate for the infusion. Right now, there's just not enough of it to go around.
Your PA is doing the right thing by giving you the prescription though. That way, it lets the place that does the infusion decide whether you need it more urgently than someone else.

I see the problem here, they told you to contact a PCP....you should contact the maker, the CCP

Lots of doctors in this thread. I knew we had several but didn't know we had this many.

My MIL had to set up an appointment to get the infusion, these clinics don’t have the infusion lying around, and the practice of prescribing antibiotics has been discredited for years, a practice that increases the developement of drug resistance.
