US star Alyssa Milano makes her Covid 19 disease public. Even though she felt miserable as a dog in March, the corona tests were negative.
US actress Alyssa Milano (47, "Who's the boss here?") Was seriously ill with Covid-19 in the spring. She is now making this public with an Instagram post. In one photo she can be seen with a breathing mask. It dates from April 2, when she was already "two weeks sick," as she writes.
The typical symptoms
She suffered from the typical symptoms, as she continues to tell her followers: "Everything hurt. Loss of the sense of smell. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I could no longer breathe. I could not hold any food in me . I lost nine pounds in two weeks. I was confused. Mild fever. And the headache was terrible. I had basically every Covid symptom, "said Milano.
The confusing test results
Because she felt so sick, she had two corona tests at the end of March, but both were negative. "I also did a Covid antibody test after I felt a little better. NEGATIVE." After living in the past four months "with persistent symptoms such as dizziness, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short-term memory and general malaise", she had an "antibody test based on a blood sample taken from a laboratory", made.
That then brought the long suspected result: "I am POSITIVE for Covid antibodies. I had Covid-19", writes Milano. The second photo in her post shows this "positive" corona test, which brought certainty.
Your warning to everyone
She now made her personal dramatic story public to warn others. "I just want you to know that our test system is faulty and we don't know the real numbers. I also want you to know that this disease is not a joke. I thought I was going to die," said Alyssa Milano. Like other affected stars before, she announced that she wanted to donate her plasma "in the hope that I can save a life".
She closes her post with the reminder of the AHA rule: "Please wash your hands and wear a mask and keep your distance."
