Shock dose regimens have their use, like in the early times treatment of some STD's. A guy gets the ordinary case of The Clap, the doc puts fourteen Penicillin in his hand and tells him to take them all at once, then follow up with one a day for the next five days.

But CV19 is not The Clap, nor is it even a bacterial infection.
I shudder to think who may have even come up with the notion of a shock dose of an antiviral medication.
Since I am not a doctor, I have no earthly idea if the mechanism of action is the same.
