Debi Mazar is the latest from Hollywood, to have contracted the novel coronavirus after she revealed that she has tested positive.
The 55-year-old actor of Younger fame, turned to her Instagram with the distressing news on Saturday, telling the world that while she has contracted the infectious disease, she is doing ‘okay.’
“I have just tested positive for Covid-19. I AM OK!,” she said beginning the extensive caption, and writing further: “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. [sic]”
“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?” she continued.
“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 on 3/16. [sic]”
“He said NO, I didn’t meet the criteria. I hadn’t recently traveled out of the country & 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 theater, the grocery store, the pharmacy, hair salon, etc. I was the Mom who was trying to prepare the home and get supplies&bleach wipes, dry goods. extra food etc. [sic]”
She further revealed: “A friend told me that CityMD/Urgent Care in my neighborhood had test kits, which appealed to me as I wanted to stay away from the hospital. I went on 3/17. [sic]”
“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),” it was further revealed.
“Well..today is day 5 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. [sic]”
“I can breathe, and I’m going to heal her, 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. [sic]."
"Anyhow, stay home people! Protect yourselves&your loved ones. Build up your immune systems. Good Luck&God Bless us all!”, she added concluding the post.
