My pureblood, based girlfriend tested positive last night after fever and sore throat all day.

I took her to the urgent care last night and had been with her every night all week.

I woke this morning with a feeling like a head cold coming on.

So I go to this site: https://covid19.onedaymd.com/2021/04/find-a-doctor-who-will-prescribe-hydroxychloroquine.html?m=1

I can’t seem to find anyone who will talk to me today.

One of the doctors listed there is this guy: https://www.txmedicalcare.com/covid19/

This dude is saying HCQ and IVM are ineffective against newer strains. Anyone heard this?

I taking vitamins and such, but would prefer to be treated if possible.

UPDATE I ended up with a low grade fever that’s lasted the last two days.

I got a consult with a doctor from the frontline doctors today, as did my woman.

I’ll be getting a prescription for ivermectin, zpak, and a steroid.

I actually feel a lot better today. Still gonna take my medicine though.

Doc on the phone confirmed that ivermectin works on the new variants, as well (assuming variants are even a thing with this virus to begin with).

The long answer (1h) about ivermectin and omicron: https://odysee.com/@DrMobeenSyed:1/Ivermectin-and-omicron:e

Tl;dr: Ivermectin has about 20 mechanisms of action, there are always enough left.

Omicron has a new mechanism to enter cells, it doesn't need TMPRSS2. This means that TMPRSS2 suppressors like bromhexine don't help anymore.

HCQ changes the pH value of the cell membrane, maybe this effect is more important than before, but nobody tested that.

Anyway, Omicron is half as dangerous than the average influenza virus - no need to worry if you are < 80 years. For some people it's over in 2 days, worst outcome is 3 weeks headache that can be treated with 2 aspirin a day.

My girlfriend apparently read that HCQ still works on newer variants whereas IVM doesn’t. But I have no idea.

I’ve only been taking vitamins and throughout today, I feel no worse than I did when I woke up.

I still haven’t had a fever. I’m hoping that my current actions are staving it off from progressing any further.

Just to put it in perspective: This is from a small study in California - these are your odds compared to an average flu (0.0017% vs 0.0966%): https://pic8.co/sh/eqKORz.png

The main mechanism of action of ivermectin still works (protecting the nucleus of infected cells from proteins that suppress the self defence). It works for many other viruses too because they all use the same mechanism: https://portlandpress.com/biochemsoctrans/article/49/1/281/227568/Antivirals-that-target-the-host-IMP-1-virus
