I switched to video because COVID is going wild in NC and I didn't want to go to the doctor if I wasn't sick. Anyway, I asked whether, when/if (more like when at this point), will I be able to be treated for it? He said with the medications in short supply it's primarily being reserved for unvaccinated people.

i don't think i mentioned how angry that makes me. He did spend a lot of time telling me to just chill because when/if I get it, it will probably be a mild case since I am vaxxed and boosted. But that doesn't change the fact that I am over 65, obese with hypertension, and a smoker. After the supplies loosen up I'll get treated, but for now, unless I get very sick, I just get to weather it at home and hope for the best.

these fucking unvaccinated people too smart to get a jab but never too smart to run to the hospital when they get COVID. they never, ever connect the dots.
