Poznati američki kantri muzičar Sturdžil Simpson otkrio je da je pozitivan na korona virus i požalio se na odnos doktora prema njemu. On je kazao da mu je trebalo mjesec dana da bude testiran iako se već dugo bori sa simptomima zaraze.

"Doktor se nije udostojio da me testira jer nisam odgovarao kriterijuma ispitivanja", tvrdi kantri muzičar koji se već mjesec dana bori sa Covidom-19.

On je detaljno ispričao svoje probleme na društvenoj mreži Instagram, objašnjavajući da je nakon turneje po zapadnoj Evropi i SAD-u 11. marta hospitalizovan "zbog bolova u grudima, temperature i predinfarktnim krvnim pritiskom". I pored toga nije bio testiran na Covid-19.

"Proveo sam sat vremena slušajući doktora koji je odbijao da me testira... I recite mi zašto je to nemoguće da sam se zarazio virusom koji je tada bio rijetkost u zapadnoj Evropi, dok su mi dvije medicinske sestre rekle da sam prva osoba u njihovoj bolnici koja je tražila tesiranje", napisao je muzičar.

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.

Tek mjesec dana kasnije, nakon što je otvoren "drive-thru" test na korona virus (testiranje u automobilu" u njegovom rodnom gradu Alabami Simpson je konačno dobio potvrdu svoje dijagnoze.

"U petak, 10. aprila, nakon gotovo mjesec dana bez ikakvih simptoma, primio sam poziv od doktora iz Nešvila u kojem se navodi da je moj test pozitivan. I moja supruga, koja je uz mene otkad sam se vratio iz Evrope, je testirana, ali je njen rezultat negativan", otkrio je ljutiti Simpson koji je za sve opužio Trampovu administraciju, kazavši da se iz Bijele kuće tokom svakodnevnih brifinga šire dezinformacije.
