Even though #Covid is airborne, I figure better safe than sorry when I have to interact with people while contagious, so I asked the #Walgreens pharmacist at the drive through if he could sell me hand sanitizer, but he said they couldn't fetch it for me. I decided to run in (masked) to get some. Turns out they keep it in the very back of the store, under lock and key, so I needed to stand around waiting (with Covid) while someone came FROM THE PHARMACY WHERE I HAD JUST ASKED THEM TO FETCH IT to unlock it and hand-carry the bottles to the register so I could buy it. We live in a Kafkaesque nightmare. #CovidIsNotOver #HealthcareDystopia

@mikemccaffrey@neurodifferent.me In theory, this site might be able to help if your insurance tries to refuse coverage: https://paxlovid.iassist.com/ I bookmarked it a while ago, so I'm not sure how helpful it is now, but the site still loads and talks about affordable access, so hopefully it's still a useful resource. Gotta try to keep the info circulating to fight the fascist eugenics.

@mikemccaffrey@neurodifferent.me Yikes! I was able to get it prescribed on the phone and then delivered at no cost.

@mikemccaffrey@neurodifferent.me Went on a bit of a rabbit hole after a family member had cancer and went through this grotesque machine we call healthcare - the US would actually save money if they regulated drug costs and made healthcare universal. The whole thing is a ponzi scheme.
