Coronavirus: Pink shares update on her family's 'scary' Covid-19 ordeal

Pink has shared an update about her “scary” experience with coronavirus, after she revealed that both she and her son had tested positive for the virus.

The pop star said last week that she and her three-year-old son Jameson, whom she shares with husband Carey Hart, had both experienced symptoms of Covid-19.

In an Instagram Live, she has now revealed that she has been keeping a journal of her song’s symptoms for the past three weeks.

“He still, three weeks later, has a 100 temperature. It’s been a rollercoaster for both of us,” she said.

“Last week I was on Nebulizers. I’ve had asthma really bad, had it for my whole life. It got really, really scary, I’m not gonna lie.”

She added: “Yes I have asthma, but Jameson, he’s three, he’s perfectly fine. We live in the country, right. The worst thing that attacks us here is pollen or a mountain lion.

“But [Jameson has] been really, really sick and it’s scary. He’s been up and down and I’ve been on nebulizers for the first time in 30 years and that’s been really scary for me.”

During her family’s health issues, Pink donated $1m (£809,000) to help with coronavirus relief efforts in the US.

In her statement last week, she criticised the US government’s response to the pandemic and said it was an “absolute travesty and failure” that testing was not more widely available for the public.
