Using a new online tool, Michigan residents can now locate COVID-19 treatments or medications available near them. These therapies, available to some considered more likely to develop severe disease, are used to reduce the chance of hospitalizations, emergency room visits and deaths. Solv., a web service that helps patients make appointments or video visits and schedule tests, provides phone numbers and operating hours. People are eligible for monoclonal antibodies, laboratory-produced molecules that act as substitute antibodies, when they are older, obese, pregnant or have chronic kidney disease, diabetes, immunosuppressive disease, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, sickle cell disease or neurodevelopmental disorders. Deaths are down, as are the number of COVID patients in intensive care.
