Pop star Pink revealed on Twitter that she tested positive two weeks ago for the new coronavirus and recovered after quarantining with her family. Her 3-year-old son Jameson had also been showing symptoms, she added. The singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, said she has since recovered and tested negative for COVID-19. She said she was disappointed in the federal government’s response to the outbreak: “It is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible. The illness is serious and real,” she wrote. She plans to donate $500,000 to Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia, where her mother worked, and $500,000 to the Los Angeles Mayor’s COVID-19 Crisis Fund.
