Debi Mazar.
"I have just tested positive for Covid-19. I AM OK!" wrote theYoungeractress on Instagram over the weekend.
"About a month ago my entire home (husband and two teen daughters) got an odd bug - low-grade fever, headaches, sore throat, body aches, ears ringing and a dry cough. It cleared up quickly. Seasonal I thought? But it felt unusual/different...
"Two weeks later, March 15th, I woke up with all those same symptoms but super intense body aches, and 102.4 fever. I figured maybe I got the flu or..Corona?
"I had had cocktails the evening prior, and smoked a few cigarettes. I figured I had jacked my immune system from having a fun night with friends. I called a doctor/friend to ask if I could get the Covid-19 test. He said NO, I didn’t meet the criteria. I hadn’t recently traveled out of the country and I hadn't been with someone who had actually tested positive. I found this kind of a CRAZY criteria for a NY’er as I had taken the subway, gone to the theatre, the grocery store, the pharmacy, hair salon, etc.
"I was the Mom who was trying to prepare the home and get supplies and bleach wipes, dry goods, extra food etc.
"Because we have Italian family in Italy and we follow the news closely, my biggest panic was why were they not closing schools in NYC and forbidding movement outside the home without permission, like China and all of Europe?
"Prospect Park yesterday, I hear was jumpin’!
"A friend told me that CityMD/Urgent Care in my neighbourhood had test kits, which appealed to me as I wanted to stay away from the hospital.
"I went on 3/17. First I was tested for the flu-which was negative. Then they tested me for Covid-19. I was sent home and told to quarantine myself until I had results, which would take 3-7 days (in S.Korea it takes two hours).
"Well..today is day five and I just found out. Im hoping I’ve been through the worst of it already. Its very “morphy”. One day I feel crappy and the next I’m normal.Today my lungs are heavy, but I’m tough.
"I can breathe, and I’m going to heal here, in my own home. My family is under quarantine for 14 days. They have no symptoms. I think we all had it possibly already? Who knows.
"Anyhow, stay home people. Protect yourselves and your loved ones. Build up your immune systems. Good Luck and God Bless us all."
Andy Cohen.
TheWatch What Happens Livehost tested positive late last week.
The 51-year-old wrote on Instagram: "After a few days of self-quarantine, and not feeling great, I have tested positive for Coronavirus.
"As much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home, we’re putting a pin in that for now so I can focus on getting better.
"I want to thank all the medical professionals who are working tirelessly for all of us, and urge everybody to stay home and take care of themselves."
Daniel Dae Kim.
