ACTOR ANNA CAMP REVEALS SHE CONTRACTED COVID-19 AFTER NOT WEARING HER MASK ‘ONE TIME’
American actor Anna Camp took to social media to discuss her battle with COVID-19.
In a long post shared on Instagram, Anna mentioned that coronavirus and the flu are completely different and wearing a mask is ultimately what would help save lives.
The Pitch Perfect actor wrote, “Hi friends… I felt it was my responsibility to share that I ended up getting Covid-19. I have since tested negative, but I was extremely sick for over three weeks and still have lingering symptoms. I was incredibly safe. I wore a mask. I used hand sanitizer. One time, when the world was starting to open up, I decided to forgo wearing my mask in public. One. Time. And I ended up getting it. I believe it may have been because of that one time. People are saying it’s like having the flu, but I’ve had the flu, and this is absolutely not that. The panic of contracting a virus that is basically untreatable and is so new that no one knows the long term irreparable damage it does to your immune system is unbelievably stressful.”
Adding that she is still unable to smell and taste things the way she used to before getting the disease, Anna Camp wrote, “Completely losing my sense of smell and taste without knowing when or even if they will return is extremely disorienting. I’m only smelling about 30 per cent of what I used to.
