Last week, we reported that the pop singer Pink had revealed that she and her 3 year-old son Jameson had battled coronavirus together after first feeling symptoms two weeks ago. Now, Pink has opened up about the ordeal in a new interview with Ellen Degeneres, recounting the “terrifying” asthma attack she suffered while battling COVID-19.

Pink told DeGeneres that while she has always had asthma, she hadn’t needed to use an inhaler for thirty years before testing positive for coronavirus.

“It was terrifying at one point,” Pink said. “I’ve had really, really bad asthma to the point where sometimes I end up in the hospital. I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn’t breathe. I needed my nebulizer for the first time in 30 years. I couldn’t function without it. That’s when I started to get really scared.”

Pink went on to say that things got so bad that she wasn’t sure if she would survive.

“Wow, all this crazy stuff I did, and this is it?” the singer remembered thinking. “This is the way it ends?

“This is the scariest thing I’ve ever been through in my whole life,” she added as she began to cry.

Pink also opened up about her son Jameson’s symptoms, saying that watching him suffer made her feel helpless.

“At one point [his temperature] was at 103. I’m calling my doctor, like, ‘What do I do?’ He’s like, ‘There’s nothing to do. He’s 3. We’re not seeing this take 3-year-olds out so just stay at home,” she said.

“There’s only so much Tylenol you want to give a kid,” Pink added, saying that Jameson suffered from stomach pains, diarrhea, chest pains, and headaches.

Pink then addressed the controversy surrounding the fact that she was able to get a test when the average American has trouble getting one.

“It’s very controversial to people that I was able to get my hands on a test. You should be angry that I can get a test and you can’t, but being angry at me isn’t going to help anything,” Pink said. “The healthcare system is jacked, the government is failing us by not being prepared but this is where we’re at and thank God we’re getting better.”

We’re so glad to see that after all that they have been through, Pink and her son appear to be doing better. Please join us in saying a prayer for their continued good health.
