Also remember that several treatments have been made available by EUA, and it is worth knowing whether they would be indicated for you.  For example, the Regeneron antibody cocktail is indicated for:

"mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age or older weighing at least 40 kilograms [about 88 pounds]) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19. This includes those who are 65 years of age or older or who have certain chronic medical conditions."

(generally mild means outpatient, moderate means hospitalized but not in the ICU).

The indication for the Eli Lilly cocktail is similar.  If you fall into this category, think about whether you would want to get the infusion, even if you aren't sick enough to go to the hospital.

Remdisivir is indicated for "the treatment of adults and pediatric patients ≥12 years old and weighing ≥40 kg requiring hospitalization for COVID-19. VEKLURY should only be administered in a hospital or healthcare setting capable of providing acute care comparable to inpatient hospital care."

Dexamethasone does not have an EUA for COVID-19 but can be prescribed by a physician off-label and is probably considered standard of care at this point for patients with moderate (hospitalized, requiring oxygen) to severe (in the ICU) patients.  Here are the guidelines:

There are other drugs as well, some of which have been granted an EUA, and some of which are approved for other indications and may be beneficial in COVID-19.
