Even as we quarantine under strict “Stay At Home” orders, new cases of COVID-19 are being documented. We’ve read stories about people who lost their lives to the illness and others who seemed to have recovered without issue. As researchers attempt to quell coronavirus, singer P!nk has come forward with news that weeks ago both she and her young son tested positive.

“Two weeks ago my three-year-old son, Jameson, and I were showing symptoms of COVID-19,” the singer wrote in an Instagram post. “Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive. My family was already sheltering at home and 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.”

The singer went on to criticize the American government for not making tests freely available to the public. “It is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible,” Pink continued. “This illness is serious and real. 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.”

Pink also stated that she’s donating “$500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund” and thanked healthcare workers for their tireless efforts. Check out her post in full below.

The spread of Coronavirus continues as the world has taken extensive steps to quarantine its citizens. We’ve watched as celebrities have come forward to confirm their diagnoses while stories of healthy individuals dying from the virus are reported. As people are exercising extreme precautions to combat the spread of the deadly virus, it’s being reported that the United States now leads Italy for the most confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the world.

Italy has captured attention as the country was overwrought with ill citizens. The country was being watched by other countries and used as an example of how quickly a pandemic can spread and affect an economy. Now, John Hopkins University has compiled data that shows the United States has 82,000 confirmed cases, outnumbering Italy and China combined. According to the Huffington Post, following the U.S. are “Spain, France, Germany and Iran.”

While the States may have more cases, they are plenty of other countries that have more COVID-19-related deaths. There have been approximately 1,000 people in the U.S. who have lost their lives to COVID-19 and at the moment, HP calls New York City the “epicenter” of the United States. For now, the World Health Organization, along with government leaders, continue to advise people to stay home, practice social distancing, and follow precautionary measures to ensure cleanliness.
