グラミー賞の最優秀カントリー・アルバムの受賞歴もある米シンガーソングライターのスタージル・シンプソン(Sturgill Simpson)は、自身が新型コロナウイルスの検査で陽性反応が出たことを明らかにしています。

シンプソンのInstagramページによると、今年初めにヨーロッパやアメリカでツアーした後、3月13日に「胸の痛み、発熱、脳卒中前の血圧値が出たため」入院したと説明。しかし医師からは「検査基準に合わなかった」という理由で新型コロナウイルスの検査を受けることができず、約1か月後の4月6日にアラバマ州近くにてドライブスルー形式で検査を行っているのを見つけて検査を受け、4月10日に陽性であるとの連絡を受けたと説明しています。シンプソンは「最初に症状を感じたのは一ヶ月前だが、まだ陽性と伝染性があり、4月19日までは隔離されている」と書いています

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.
