The new CDC guidance is to not give monoclonals if the patient is after day 10 or needs oxygen.
Idk if there’s any truth to it, as I’m a couch medical article reader and not a full doctor. However, it makes some sense as your viral load peaks by day eight, and you’re dealing with the leftover inflammation by days nine and ten. The antibodies won’t have spike protein to attach to if the viral load is past peak.

It's always been 10 days for the monoclonal antibodies.
Huh. I thought they were using them after that point before. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
