COVID-19 pills could be a game-changer, but doctors trying to use them face hurdles

LA Times  

Jeff Carlson, a Type 1 diabetic with heart stents, came down with COVID-19 in January, but recovered quickly after being treated with Merck’s molnupiravir. With vaccines and treatments available, “we can make this much more manageable in the future, if people are willing to take care of themselves,” said Dr. Bryan Jarabek, who helps lead COVID-19 treatment and vaccination efforts for the Minnesota health system M Health Fairview. The Mass General Brigham health system in Boston started a similar program that ships pills to some patients via FedEx. For patients with transportation, the drugstore chain CVS Health has started “test to treat” programs at its nearly 1,200 stores with MinuteClinic locations. Doctors say people at high risk of developing health problems from COVID-19 need to remain vigilant for symptoms and seek help quickly, especially if another surge develops.
