Pink<\/a> was one of the first guests on the quarantine edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em><\/a>, talking to the daytime host via video chat about how she and her son Jameson came down with the coronavirus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started with Jameson, actually, and you know, he\u2019s three  \u2014 three-year-olds get sick all the time,\u201d she said. Pink and her family went into quarantine on March 11th, and Jameson began developing a fever three days later before showing more major symptoms, including severe chest pains. At one point, the family was concerned that they might have to take him to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Pink said she never had a fever while ill, but she developed a sore throat, and at one point woke up in the middle of the night unable to breathe. (Pink has had asthma all her life, but said she hasn\u2019t had a major attack in nearly 30 years.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI got it the second-worst [out of my family]; I\u2019m 40, I have asthma and I\u2019m fit as a fiddle,\u201d she told Ellen. \u201cIt\u2019s not just affecting people over 65.\u201d She stressed much of the confusion surrounding the illness: the wide range of symptoms, how she and her son got it during quarantine, the fact that her husband Carey Hart and daughter Willow didn\u2019t develop symptoms, and that several of her friends think they got COVID-19<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pink also addressed the controversy over access to testing. \u201cI would say, you should be angry that I can get a test and you can\u2019t. But being angry at me is not going to help anything, it\u2019s not gonna solve the issue of the fact that you can\u2019t get your hands on a test\u2026And number two, tell me anybody with a sick three-year-old that could get their hands on a test wouldn\u2019t take it. And if they say that, I\u2019m calling bullshit.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on: \u201cThe healthcare system is jacked. The government is, in a way, failing us by not being prepared. But this is where we\u2019re at, and thank God we\u2019re getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon announcing that she had coronavirus, Pink pledged to donate $1 million<\/a> to coronavirus aid efforts, including $500,000 to the hospital in Philadelphia where her mother worked for 18 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s inner-city, it\u2019s North Philly, they don\u2019t have a lot of resources or a lot of ways to have donations like that,\u201d she said. \u201cSo it\u2019s meant a lot to my mom, and to a lot of her friends who still work there.\u201d<\/p>\n
