P!nk Opens Up About Her Son's 'Terrifying' Coronavirus Symptoms

Pop star P!Nk just went through one of the most 'terrifying' experiences of her life, and also it may happen to any of us.


She and her 3-year-old son Jameson recently contracted COVID-19, an ordeal that the "Try" singer talked on Thursday's (April 9) episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show by way of the video chat. Her raw and straightforward account of the scenario definitely makes the need to remain house while in these challenging times more crucial than ever.


"It began with Jameson, actually, and, you know, he's three. Three-year-olds get sick all of the time yet he began with a fever March 14, we've been quarantined since March 11," P!Nk told Ellen. "It began with a fever for him and yes it would come and go and he would have belly pains and diarrhea and chest pains and then a headache, sore throat," she continued, explaining how the illness progressed.


"It categorize kind of was just all over the place. Daily was just some new indicator. His fever stayed, it didn't go. And then it just began going up and up and up and up and then at one point it was at 103. I'm calling my doctor, 'What do I do?' He's like, 'There's nothing to do. He's 3. We're not seeing this take 3-year-olds out, so just stay home.'"


It was a harrowing experience for the full family member, and one P!Nk has called "terrifying," especially as she began seeing her own indications cropping up immediately after they got to her son.


"I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't breathe and I required to get to a nebulizer for the opening time in 30 years," she mentioned of the starting of her own illness. "I have this inhaler that I use, this rescue inhaler, and I couldn't function without it, and that's Whenever I began to get really scared."


Eventually, she was able to get a sole test to decide whether or not she or her son had coronavirus. She opted to take herself, and yes it came back positive, something she "already knew" would happen.


"I thought they instructed us our kids were going to be OK," she continued throughout a tearful confession. "We were told our kids were going to be OK. I think any time people began explaining what this infection is, it was also early have the ability to name it totally and tell everybody what to look for." Fortunately, spouse Carey Hart and 8-year-old Willow seemed unaffected.


But although P!Nk and her son are finally on the mend, she's still facing backlash from people who were mad with her for being able to get tested, as soon as so several cannot.


I would mention you've got to be irritated that I can get a test so you can't. Although being mad at me isn't going to help anything," she notes. "It's not going to solve the provide problem of the fact that you can't get your hands on a test. You've got to be irritated about that. And we should work with each other to try and change that. And number two, tell me anybody with a sick 3-year-old that if they could get their hands on a test wouldn't take it and if they mention that, I'm all calling bullshit."
