El relato aterrador de una figura de la música que superó el coronavirus

La cantante Pink sorprendió a todos sus seguidores  al confirmar hace algunas semanas que tanto ella como su hijo de 3 años estaban contagiados de coronavirus. "Esta es una enfermedad seria y real", aseguraba en un texto que compartió en las redes sociales.

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 Mayoru2019s 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.u2764ufe0f

Ahora, decidió dar una entrevista en The Ellen Show donde contó que la experiencia fue "aterradora". "Ni siquiera sé qué día es, pero esta es una semana mejor que las últimas que hemos vivido en nuestro hogar", comenzó diciendo la cantante. Y explicó que había sido su hijo el primero en mostrar síntomas. Sin embargo, cuando la fiebre empezó a dispararse, su angustia aumentó. "Fueron momentos aterradores", aseguró.

Luego a los pocos días, ella misma empezó a sentir síntomas y una noche despertó sin poder respirar. "Fue entonces cuando me empecé a asustar mucho. Esta es la cosa más aterradora por la que he pasado en toda mi vida", confesó. 

Más allá de su situación personal, lo que más angustiaba a Pink era la impotencia de no poder hacer nada por su hijo. "No hay nada que puedas hacer. Simplemente esperar hasta que empezamos a mejorar... lentamente, lentamente, lentamente", relató.

Recordemos que luego de esta experiencia, y finalmente superar su luchar contra el coronavirus, la cantante decidió donar un millón de dólares al Fondo del Hospital de la Universidad de Temple, en Filadelfia, en honor a su madre, Judy Moore, que trabajó ahí durante 18 años en el Centro de Cardiopatía y Trasplante Coronario, y al Fondo de Crisis de Emergencia por el COVID-19 del alcalde de Los Ángeles.

#Repost @sherylsandberg u30fbu30fbu30fb Today is #NationalDoctorsDay and Iu2019m thinking of the thousands of healthcare workers who are giving their all to fight this virus on the frontlines. Theyu2019re working around the clock under extreme pressure. Theyu2019re putting their own lives on the line to save our community. They are taking care of patients while they juggle family responsibilities, especially women who do the majority of childcare and housework. Like Dr. Shreni Zinzuwadia MD (@zinzuw) an emergency doctor and Circle leader with @leaninorg @latinasurge. Shreni is working days, nights, and weekends in two of the most demanding hospitals in New Jersey, Newark Beth Israel and Jersey City Medical. She shared some of what sheu2019s experiencing right now: u0026#34;Iu0026#39;m basically going to hospital, coming home to sleep, then going back to hospital. The biggest challenges weu0026#39;re facing are running out of personal protective equipment, running out of ICU space, and remembering to eat. And as a mom of three kids, Iu0026#39;m doing some major juggling to make sure my family gets through this too. Itu0026#39;s very hard as usual. My husband is working from home and my teenagers are doing a lot more chores. Iu0026#39;m staying positive with prayer, community support, and a huge mommy network. Plus the outpouring of supportive sentiment really brings me to tears. Knowing weu0026#39;re all scared and in this together helps me to be resilient.u201d Iu2019m in awe of what Shreni and so many other doctors, nurses, and medical professionals are doing to protect us all. Their grit and collective resilience is nothing short of heroic. They deserve all the medals in the worldu2014but right now what they need most is for us to stay home. We must each do our part to flatten the curve and slow the spread of this disease. Our lives depend on each other. #HealthcareHeroes
