Pink is opening up about the scary ordeal she recently went through when she and her son Jameson Moon Hart contracted COVID-19.
The 40-year-old’s video chat appearance for Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show had her going into detail about what it was like coming down with symptoms when she was in quarantine with her family.

The What About Us songstress explained to Ellen DeGeneres:
“It started with Jameson, actually, and, you know, he’s three. Three-year-olds get sick all the time but he started with a fever March 14, we’ve been quarantined since March 11. [It] started with a fever for him and it would come and go and he would have stomach pains and diarrhea and chest pains and then a headache, sore throat. It sort of was just all over the place. Every day was just some new symptom. His fever stayed, it didn’t go. And then it just started going up and up and up and up and then at one point it was at 103. I’m calling my doctor, ‘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 home.'”
She added:
“In hindsight it all makes sense, but when it’s happening, it’s such a weird experience, you don’t put it together until after the fact or until days go by.”
The momma of two got choked up sharing one of the three-year-old’s worse days battling the virus:
“At one point when he started throwing up and saying he had chest pains and it hurt to breathe, that’s the point where you’re just kind of like, ‘OK, are we going to the hospital? What are we doing right now?’ Because this is the scariest thing I’ve ever, ever been through in my whole life.”
We’re sure all parents would feel the same way!!
She continued, telling Ellen DeGeneres:
“I thought they told us our kids were going to be OK. We were told our kids were going to be OK. I think when people started explaining what this disease is, it was too early to be able to name it completely and tell everybody what to look for.”
Although the singer — who previously suffered from asthma as a child — “never” experienced a fever, she did experience breathing problems:
“I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t breathe and I needed to get to a nebulizer for the first time in 30 years. I have this inhaler that I use, this rescue inhaler, and I couldn’t function without it, and that’s when I started to get really scared.”
Luckily, her husband Cary Hart and 8-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart didn’t show any symptoms:
“Willow and Carey are walking around the house like it’s a normal day, no symptoms whatsoever.”
As you’ve likely seen, many celebrities who have been tested for the virus have faced criticism about being able to obtain one when reports continue that there is a nationwide shortage. The three-time Grammy winner confronted the “bulls**t” head first:
“I would say two things to that — I would say you should be angry that I can get a test and you can’t. But being angry at me is not going to help anything. It’s not going to solve the issue of the fact that you can’t get your hands on a test. You should be angry about that. And we should work together to try and change that. And number two, tell me anybody with a sick 3-year-old that if they could get their hands on a test wouldn’t take it and if they say that, I’m all calling bulls**t.”
Obviously, it’s a huge relief that Pink and her son are doing better. She concluded:
“Every single person in the world right now gets to be a superhero, just by staying home, just by washing their hands.”
