American singer, Pink reveals that she tested positive for Coronavirus, slams US government for not making testing available

American superstar singer, Pink announced that she tested positive for Coronavirus in an Instagram post shared on Friday night.

The singer who disclosed that she showed symptoms of the disease with
her 3-year-old son Jameson, said she turned out positive after a test
was carried out on them two weeks ago. She has however beaten the
virus.

Pink wrote;

“Two weeks ago my three-year-old son, Jameson, and I were showing
symptoms of COVID-19. 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.”

She also called out the US government for not making
Coronavirus testing available, as she pointed out that health officials
have expressed frustration over the limited testing capacity.

Pink described the testing as an “absolute travesty,” and further
added that it is a “failure of their government to not make testing more
widely accessible.

“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.” She said

The 40-year-old mother of two who is married to Carey Hart, also made
a sizable donation of $1 million to support health care workers on the
frontlines.

Pink added;

“I am donating $500,000 to the Temple University Hospital Emergency
Fund in Philadelphia in honor of my mother, Judy Moore, who worked there
for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center.
Additionally, I am donating $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s
Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund. THANK YOU to all of our healthcare
professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to
protect our loved ones. You are our heroes! These next two weeks are
crucial: please stay home. Please. Stay. Home.”
