So what ?, Pink tirelessly wonders when hearing the measures taken by Donald Trump in the face of the coronavirus epidemic. The singer wanted to make herself a point on the situation by talking about her commitment, her anger towards the administration of Washington, but also her state of health on social networks.
Pink first evokes his contamination and that of his son to reassure his fans. “ Two weeks ago, my three-year-old son Jameson and I were experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care doctor had access to tests and I tested positive, she says. My family was already homebound and we have continued to do so for the past two weeks following our doctor's instructions. Just a few days ago, we were retested and luckily we were negative. "
In the rest of his message, Pink protests against the management of tests by the federal government. In the Los Angeles area, health officials are worried about their more than limited means. On April 4, Los Angeles County Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said the goal was to test 10,000 residents a day by the end of the week. But on the ground, the reality is quite different and so far only a little more than 20,000 people have been tested in total. " It is an absolute travesty and a failure of our government not to make the tests more accessible ", revolts the singer.

Pink is still alerting to the urgency of the situation and the need to be aware of the dangerousness of the virus, which can affect children as well as the elderly, whether they are in poor health or no. " We need to make testing free and more widely available to protect our children, families, friends and communities, " she says.
Aware of the insufficient material and human resources of the medical profession, Pink announced that she had made two donations of $ 500,000 to support funds. On the one hand for the Temple University Hospital Emergency in Philadelphia in tribute to his mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for eighteen years. And for the city of Los Angeles emergency fund on the other hand. " I love your hospital and I love Philly. I will pray for you every day, ”she explains to the medical chief of the Temple University Hospital Emergency who thanked him publicly.
