The only way you will find out how you will be treated is to get the virus and go to your Doctor.

If you can’t even get to talk to anyone, you may want to rethink your current arrangement. Better to give it some thought when everything is well, not when you have a problem. Primary care in the US leaves to be desired - but sending off a patient to the FAQ page is a bit much... even for today's sh*tty state of affairs.

cannot get a straight answer from my health care provider about what treatment I can expect if I

Advice from a smartass.

Do you know a vet? or a dermatologist? a farmer? Get yourself set up with Ivermectin and Doxycycline (in case you got a colicky heifer).

Regimen

The study patients were divided into two groups including (A) (n=60): Ivermectin 200 µgm/kg single dose and Doxycycline 100 mg BID for 10 days. Note this is very similar to Dr. Tarek Alam’s successful hospital approved protocol study at the Bangladesh Medical College. Group (B) (n=56): Hydroxychloroquine 400mg first day then 200mg BID for 9 days plus Azithromycin 500mg daily for 5 days.

The Results

Much like the results from Dr. Rajter at Broward County, Florida, United States and Dr. Tarek Alam, Bangladesh Medical College, the results here were quite positive.

Group A, the Ivermectin group, experienced a 100% recovery rate, with a mean symptomatic recovery duration of 5.93 days and negative PCR was on 8.93 days. The Group B results (Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin) was 96.36%, 6.99 days and 9.33 days respectively.

55.10% of the patients in Group A (Ivermectin) gained symptomatic recovery on the 5th day. A mild degree of adverse effect was noted by 31.67% of patients; lethargy in 14 (23.3%), nausea in 11 (18.3%) and occasional vertigo in 7 (11.66%) of patients.

In the meantime, Group B experienced some degree of adverse effects; 13 (23.21%) mild type of blurring of vision and headache; 22 (39.2%) increased lethargy and dizziness, 10 (17.85%) occasional palpitation, and 9 (16.07%) experienced nausea and vomiting.

Conclusion


As far as I can tell, 3rd world farmers treat everything with Ivermectin.

If you’re having trouble actually asking this question of your primary care physician (maybe dealing with the front office or phone room?), try writing a letter to your doctor and asking your specific question. You might mention your concerns, and the reasons you would like a definite answer to your question.

IMO most primary care physicians have busy, hectic and long days, but they always take time to read a personal note from a patient.
