I just got the 'Vid for the first time over the weekend (SF Bay Area). Paxlovid is a hell of a drug.
My coughing was so bad – and my abs so bloody tired from it – I took to donning my weightlifting belt to give my diaphragm the support it needed to actually have my coughing do something – otherwise I had these tiny little unproductive coughs for like an hour or so and then, finally, the impulse to actually move the shit in my lungs overwhelmed the pain of my diaphragm not wanting to cooperate.
Anyway, on the mend.
