Sturgill Simpson da positivo al COVID-19

El cantante estadounidense Sturgill Simpson, acudió en marzo a una sala de emergencias tras presentar dolor en el pecho, fiebre y niveles de presión arterial previos a un accidente cerebrovascular.

Por medio de sus redes sociales, el intérprete de Living the Dream publicó una fotografía en una cama de hospital utilizando un cubrebocas. "Estuve una hora escuchando a un doctor negándose a hacerme la prueba porque no cumplía con los criterios y me dijo por qué era imposible que hubiera contraído el virus", relató.

El 6 de abril, él y su esposa fueron a un centro de pruebas de manejo en Alabama y recibieron sus resultados cuatro días después, en donde su esposa -que lo acompañó en el A Good Look’n Tour- resultó negativa.

El músico criticó la información de la Casa Blanca, pues considera que está basada en especulaciones. Simpson sabe que, aunque tuvo sus síntomas hace un mes, es una persona contagiosa por lo que esta haciendo su cuarentena hasta el 19 de abril.

"Al menos nuestro grupo de trabajo designado por el gobierno, encabezado por un hombre que no cree en la ciencia, está en contra de las pruebas masivas y sabemos que tenemos un segundo grupo de trabajo en proceso para 'abrir Estados Unidos de nuevo para los negocios'", escribió quien hace unos días lamentó la muerte de John Prine por complicaciones relacionadas con COVID-19.

Ok since they are in short supply these days here are some facts... We were on tour in Western Europe for two weeks late Jan /early Feb..then up and down the southeast/eastern US playing arena shows mid Feb to early March. We played Charleston, SC on March 10 and they pulled the plug on our tour March 12 and I returned home. This photo was taken at 9am on March 13th when my wife took me to our local hospital ER due to chest pains, fever, and pre-stroke blood pressure levels. I spent an hour listening to a (highly condescending) Doctor refuse to test me because I “did not fit testing criteria” and tell me why it was impossible that I had contracted the virus due to its extreme rarity and that it was not in western Europe yet during that same period (which we now know is incorrect) even though I was told by two nurses that I was the first person their hospital had walk in requesting to be tested. Almost one month later on April 6th my wife and I were both tested after finally finding a free drive-thru testing facility outside a National Guard depot. Yesterday on Friday April 10th, after almost one month without any symptoms, I received a call from the Nashville CDC stating that my test resulted in a positive detection for Covid-19. My wife (who has been by my side since Europe) tested negative. I should also add that the CDC nurse I spoke to yesterday told me that it reacts differently in a case by case basis and the White House briefings and the information they are providing is basically pure speculation causing fear and that the only thing anybody knows is that we don’t really know much yet. All I know is I first felt symptoms a month ago yet Im still positive and contagious and now on quarantine in the dojo until April 19th and really wishing Id taken my wife’s advice and put a bathroom in the floor plans..live and learn. But hey, at least our Government appointed task force headed by a man who does not believe in science is against mass testing and we now have a second task force in the works to “open America back up for business”! Dick Daddy out.
