She is the kind who still wears a mask to the store and sanitizes her hands afterwards.Caller states that also, right now, you can call the government to get tests and they send you four of them. Caller states that she has grandchildren and is elderly. One of the grandchildren spends every day with her. She is concerned about rebound. States that with all this confusing information why are they sending so few tests when you will have to test again and again.Caller states that she really had no symptoms at all. Her husband's best friend called and said that her husband's best friend had tested positive. Caller mentions that it is legal to smoke marijuana in # and her husband and his friend sit together and smoke about three times a day. Caller states that she is never around her husband's friend, but her husband is still negative for COVID, however, the caller is positive. Caller states that she does not smoke with them, nor does she drink or anything.Caller states that all the information you read is from 2021 and early 2022. She asks why is there no new information now? How can she get more tests and make sure that she is really over it? She needs more information on the potential breakthrough. In 5 days when she tests and its likely negative can she be around her grandchild, or does she really need to wait three more days and then tests? If so, how does she get enough tests for this? If Pfizer is doing a study, her hand it up.Caller clarifies that she has not experienced any breakthrough COVID with Paxlovid. States that she just started Paxlovid on Tuesday, so today is only her second day on the medication. Caller states that it says it makes food taste bad, but it doesn't make food taste bad, it makes your mouth taste bad and having food in your mouth is the only time that your mouth does not taste bad. Caller states that she has had no other side effects.States she took Paxlovid twice yesterday and once today. She went to look for more information, but nothing is new. Caller states that according to the news, those free COVID tests you can get at # and # are going to stop probably in the fall. Caller states then people will also be charged for inoculations.Caller mentions that she did not get the newest COVID booster. She has had all of the other inoculations. States that at the end of Dec she was on strong medication for diverticulitis and could not get the newest booster.Pfizer COVID Vaccines: Caller states that her first two doses of the COVID Vaccines were the Pfizer Vaccines.Caller states that she wishes she had been able to get the latest booster since her husband got the latest booster and is negative even though it's his friend who is positive. Caller states that she was too ill to get the latest booster.Caller asks is there any proven way to get the taste out of your mouth? Sucking on anything? Caller states that it's like if you are eating toast, the toast tastes good the whole time you are eating it and you have no bad taste in your mouth. That sensation lasts for maybe 8 minutes after you are done eating, then the more horrible taste comes back.Diverticulitis: Caller states that she was diagnosed with this condition on 26Dec2022.

Monday morning, 06Feb2023, her husband's friend called and said that he had tested positive. Caller states that is when she took a test, and it was positive. She also took another test on Tuesday prior to her first dose of Paxlovid, and it was positive also.Positive for COVID after COVID Vaccines; Concerned about this expiry date on the medication that is Apr2023.
