2 years, 10.5 months. Quintuple vaxxed, masked in public except when eating in public is unavoidable (in this case, airline delays resulted in 7 hours stuck in the airport + 2 off-hour meals out while traveling). Both of us tested positive this morning. The experience is like a moderate cold (sneezing a bit, coughing (especially when the air is dry), occasional headache. The most stressful part thus far has been reaching our PCP and then finding a pharmacy that had Paxlovid). ETA: No liver test required ([What's the name of the liver test that they run before they'll prescribe Paxlovid? - #4 by Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-name-of-the-liver-test-that-they-run-before-theyll-prescribe-paxlovid/975756/4)). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-long-did-you-hold-out-against-covid/968418)._
