Got a call from our County Health Department about 13’s COVID, very patronizingly asking me about the quarantine and masking. When I said that his peds office prescribed Paxlovid, they sounded very surprised and started asking me about Ze Reason for it (is he immunocompromised? Does he have _____?) “because YOU KNOW it isn’t normally prescribed to kids.” Like yeah, unknown lady, I’m going to disregard the reasoned and intelligent advice of the physician who has known my child for years.
