About 3,500 treatments of Paxlovid are currently being prescribed each week, with its demand appearing to go up as COVID-19 activity rises, chief medical officer of health said

TORONTO — Ontario is considering allowing pharmacists to prescribe the COVID-19 treatment drug Paxlovid in order to expand access, the province's top doctor says.

"I do know the government is reviewing the ability of pharmacists to be able to prescribe this directly after a positive test," Moore said in an interview with The Canadian Press. Justin Bates, CEO of the Ontario Pharmacists Association, said his group has been pushing for pharmacists in the province to be able to prescribe Paxlovid, as colleagues in many other provinces already can.

"The earlier you started in five days, the better in terms of preventing serious symptoms and illness whereby you would then need to go to the hospital or, even worse, into the hospital's ICU," he said."The amount of volume going through the stores, anecdotally, is very low," he said.

Paxlovid is not good! Look what’s going on in the US, almost everyone gets a rebound case after using it including Biden and Fauci! Government approved marginal therapies are cheered on enthusiastically. Pax is marginally better than a proper sleep.
