Pink Reveals She Tested Positive for Coronavirus, Donates $1 Million

Authored by eonline.com and submitted by rendrogeo

Pink has made a full recovery after testing positive for coronavirus two weeks ago.

The pop star shared the news on Friday, also announcing a $1 million donation to COVID-19 relief efforts.

"Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19," she wrote on Instagram. "Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive. My family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative."

Calling the virus "serious and real," Pink condemned the government for not working quickly enough to make testing available to every American.

"People need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor, and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities," she continued.

From the article, regarding her donations:

Pink said half of her $1 million pledge would benefit the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honor of her mother, who "worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center."

The other $500,000 will be donated to the City of Los Angeles Mayor's Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.

The donating $1M is fantastic. Thank you pink! Very very generous of her.

I think what upsets people about these stories however is this part:

"Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19," she wrote on Instagram. "Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive."

Unless you are a celebrity, or an NBA player, you are absolutely told to go home if you are showing symptoms here in Michigan. In fact, they say if you are "walking well" you will not have access to a test and just to assume you got it. Go home and do NOT under any circumstances go to the hospital. It's awful. This is what is infuriating to people.
