American actress and political activist Alyssa Milano, who is known for her role as ‘Samantha Micelli’ in ‘Who’s the Boss?’ revealed that she has tested positive for Covid-19 by posting a photo of herself using a breathing apparatus on Instagram.
The ‘My Name is Early’ star Milano, wrote:
“This was me on April 2nd after being sick for 2 weeks. I had never been this kind of sick. Everything hurt. Loss of smell. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t keep food in me. I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I was confused. Low-grade fever. And the headaches were horrible. I basically had every COVID symptom.”
Then the actress said that she had taken two Covid-19 tests and a COVID antibody test with negative results. She continued by pointing out that the testing system is not reliable:
“After living the last 4 months with lingering symptoms like, vertigo, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short term memory, and general malaise, I went and got an antibody test from a blood draw (not the finger prick) from a lab. I am POSITIVE for COVID antibodies. I had Covid19.”
Milano also stated that it is not possible to know the real number of Covid-19 patients because of this flawed testing system. Later, the actress urged her fans to get serious this highly dangerous illness by writing:
“I also want you to know, this illness is not a hoax. I thought I was dying. It felt like I was dying. I will be donating my plasma with hopes that I might save a life. Please take care of yourself. Please wash your hands and wear a mask and social distance. I don’t want anyone to feel the way I felt. Be well. I love you all (well, maybe not the trolls. Just the kind people.)❤️”
