Yes, I agree about the antibody infusions. The CDC is also frustrated that these aren't being utilized.
I'd love to see a doctor attend the large testing sites and make decisions to offer them immediately as people show up to take their test, basing on symptoms. Effectively, go in for a free test, and get a free doctor's appointment & maybe treatment.
It is too easy to wait until you get the results back to then make an appointment and go in. By then the efficacy of the treatments is way down.

It was about the time that it became clear that the state started getting heat over failure to administer that things have started to speed up. So, maybe the threat of not getting vaccine is having the desired result. However, taking SCC as an example, there are only about 10-20 places to get a vaccination. I believe that NONE of them are giving shots 28% of the week (ie, weekends).
(For Travis County, TX, (pop. 1.3M) about 40 places have received vaccine in weeks 4 & 5.)
