On Friday night, the pop star, Pink, revealed that she and her 3-year-old son were diagnosed with the coronavirus. USA Today reported on an Instagram post from the “Let’s Get This Party Started” singer in which she took aim at the federal government’s purportedly slow response to the pandemic, in addition to revealing that she donated $1,000,000 split between two different hospitals.

As it was previously reported, Pink said she and her 3-year-old son were “fortunate” enough to get access to testing, but she wasn’t happy with how hard it has been for others to get it.

After staying at home for two weeks, Pink and her child went back and were tested for the virus again and thankfully, it came back negative.

Despite the silver lining to the story, Pink slammed the Trump administration for supposedly failing to provide access to the coronavirus tests around the nation. The Grammy Award winner took to her Twitter and IG on Friday night to describe the lack of testing as a “travesty.”

According to Pink, the tests haven’t been made available to as many people as necessary. The pop star went on to say that the disease was “serious and real,” adding that it was crucial for people to understand that anyone could get it, regardless of demographic.

As it was noted above, Pink also announced a hefty donation to the LA Mayor’s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund and also Temple University. Pink explained on her Instagram and Twitter account that she chose to donate to the university because it was where her mother worked for eighteen years.

Followers of the news media know that many celebrities and performing artists have tested positive for COVID-19, including Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, Prince Charles, Idris Elba, Chris Cuomo, Rand Paul, and Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
