“It's because of one of you who wasn't wearing a mask. American actress Sharon Stone doesn't mince words. This weekend, the movie star published a series of posts on her social media accounts where she expresses her concern for her loved ones and her anger at the management of the health crisis in the United States.
"My sister and her husband are fighting to survive and my sister is not doing well," worries the actress in a video posted on Monday. Previously, the star of "Basic Instinct" had her grandmother and her godmother succumb to Covid-19.

The actress' sister, Kelly, who also has lupus (an autoimmune disease), and her husband are currently in hospital in Montana state. In this video, Sharon Stone explains that in this state, tests are only issued to patients with symptoms and results are available within 5 days. Nurses caring for loved ones "don't have tests" available for themselves, she adds.
"Nurses are risking their lives and cannot be tested," lamented the actress while at the same time, "armed people are demonstrating to say that it is their freedom not to wear mask. "
“Wear a mask! For you and for others ”
This Sunday, Sharon Stone had posted a photo of her sister Kelly's hospital room with the comment "It was one of you, the non-wearing masks who did that", stating that her sister did not only left her home to go to the pharmacy.
"Can you face this room alone?" Wear a mask! For you and for others, ”she begged.

My sister Kelly, who already has lupus, now has COVID-19. This is her hospital room. One of you Non-Mask wearers did this. She does not have an immune system. The only place she went was the pharmacy. There is no testing in her county unless you are symptomatic, & then it's 5 day wait for results. Can YOU FACE THIS ROOM ALONE? Wear a mask! For yourself and others. Please 💜.
