 Getting vaccinated is the best defense against COVID-19. If you do get it, monoclonal antibody treatments can lower your risk of severe symptoms and hospitalization. When Peggy and I got the virus, my doctor said I should take the antibody treatment. So I did. I never had serious symptoms and I think that's partly due to that treatment. South Carolina has plenty of antibody treatments and appointments are available everywhere. So if you test positive, talk to your doctor to see if antibody treatments are right for you.
