After pop icon Madonna was read for filth online over comments she made on Instagram regarding “breathing the COVID air,” the singer went on Instagram yesterday to clarify some things.
In case you need a reminder, here’s what she said last week during the 14th edition of her “Quarantine Diary” IGTV series, in which she sits at a typewriter and lets her thoughts flow freely.
“Took a test the other day, and I found out that I have the antibodies,” Madonna said. “So tomorrow, I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car… and I’m going to breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yep. I hope the sun is shining.”
The comment made Madame X seem like she was stuck in her privileged bubble and completely out of touch with the real world. The Instagram post implied Miss Rona paid Madonna a visit recently, when actually, the singer said she and her dancers fell ill around the final week of her Madame X tour in Paris.
Here’s what she revealed on Instagram, while also highlighting that she has donated $1 million toward research, medical supplies, and more.
“Im Grateful that I can be a part of supporting Research to Find the cure for Covid -19!! 🙏🏼 And just to clear things up for people who would rather believe sensationalist headlines than do their own research about the nature of this virus— I am not currently sick. When you test positive for anti-bodies it means you HAD the virus which I. clearly did as I was sick at the end of my tour in Paris over 7 weeks ago along with many other artists in my show but at the time We all thought we had a very bad flu. Thank God we are all healthy and well now. Hope that clears things up for the band wagon jumpers!! Knowledge is Power! #covid19”
Madonna also revealed that she is no longer battling symptoms, but I hope she is aware that according to doctors just because you have antibodies and you’re no longer battling symptoms you are immune from getting it again. This virus is always mutating, and until we fully understand this disease and a cure is available, we should still be taking precautions to make sure we stay safe and healthy.
