Pink on her Covid-19 experience: 'That’s the point where you are just kind of like, okay are we going to the hospital? Like what are we doing right now?'

Her symptoms and those of her youngest child, Jameson, became more evident mid-March, according to the mother of two.

"At a certain point around 18 March, 19 March, 20 March, his fever was staying and going up," Pink said, referring to her son.At that point, for the first time in 30 years, she had to use a nebuliser to assist her breathing, as well as a rescue inhaler which she says she couldn’t function without at the time.But when her three-year-old started complaining about chest pains, the wary mom was forced to come face-to-face with the harrowing illness.

"That’s the point where you are just kind of like, okay are we going to the hospital? Like what are we doing right now?" she said.Since that daunting experience the mother and son have made an incredible recovery, especially after Jameson tested negative two weeks after he took the initial test.
