Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are 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 we 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. It is an absolute travesty and failure of our 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. In an effort to support the healthcare professionals who are battling on the frontlines every day, 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.❤️

As Pink wrote in her post, the family had previously been in quarantine . It was simply expanded. Pink also wants to raise awareness of the topic with her post, because it can affect everyone, whether old, young, rich, poor, healthy or not healthy .

Pink criticizes Coronavirus

The singer sharply criticized Washington for failing to provide tests quickly and comprehensively. "We would have to enable free and extensive testing to protect our children, families, friends and communities," says the star.

She said she would donate a million dollars to healthcare , in equal parts to a Philadelphia clinic that her mother worked at for 18 years and to a Los Angeles city health insurance fund. Pink thanked the "heroes" in the healthcare sector and admonished their fans: "Please stay at home".

Pink isn't the only star to fall ill with Covid-19 *. A star cook died of the consequences and the virus does not stop at greats like Tom Hanks.

It affects people's lives more and more. Not only do TV shows , such as "Let's Dance" and the finale of GNTM, take place without a viewer , or even have to be postponed because of Corona as in "The Masked Singer". There are also more and more exit restrictions worldwide. How long everything will take is currently not clear.
