With COVID-19 rising once again, there is now an antiviral medication that officials say can cut the risk of hospitalization by up to 90 percent if taken in the first three to five days of infection called Paxlovid. Laura McKelvey and Harriet Ribbons say that they were faced with an altered sense of taste while taking this medicine and it has not gone away.
