Are you able to get Paxlovid? My dad, who's around the same age, got it in 2022. His health already wasn't great and he got hit pretty hard before my brother was able to get paxlovid for him. It helped a lot.
Yeah, he's getting some today, thanks for the reassurance!

It’s so nasty. Absolutely worth it though.
that metallic taste.. oof.. but it does seem to help quite a bit
Seconding the Paxlovid. My parents are in their 60s but fairly unhealthy, and recoveres from their COVID totally fine thanks to that stuff.
