um Mar 2023 4:32pm, 4 Mar 2023 7,144 posts	0 um Mrs J - just click the box you want. That (does for me) selects that and removes the No

AndyS Mar 2023 7:16pm, 20 Mar 2023 1,917 posts	0 AndyS Yep. I've had that letter (again) recently. I had the antiviral treatment about a year ago, during my second infection - whisked into hospital, half an hour or so sitting in a comfy chair with a needle in my arm, and being looked after by lovely people (honestly, Emirates business class could learn a lot from Mile End hospital - then whisked home. Did it help? Probably, but hard to be sure. Compared to my first case (March 2020), the acute phase was far less unpleasant and over far quicker - but I'd also had 4 vaccinations by that point too. I certainly don't think it did me any harm. No observed effect on my long covid, though.
