Anti Covid pills, it’s a flop. Italy fails to use them: “Times too tight”

Sorry, the time is up. For many people with Covid, getting on the pill is a race against the clock. And in about one out of four cases the match ends in defeat. The rules for obtaining the antiviral are in fact clear: no more than five days should pass from the positive swab. Otherwise, a treatment of 610 euros (in the case of molnupiravir, the Merck pill) or 650 (for Pfizer’s paxlovid) becomes useless: it can no longer prevent the virus from replicating in the body and the infection from degenerating into serious disease .
