Nugent admits COVID-19 diagnosis

Rocker Ted Nugent has contracted COVID-19 after blasting the global pandemic as a scam. The singer, 72, revealed the diagnosis in a Facebook Live video on Monday. “I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days ... I thought I was dying,” Nugent said, describing his body aches and a stuffy head as symptoms. “I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days, but I did, I crawled.” The musician had also referred to the coronavirus with racial slurs and repeated his vow not to get the vaccine.
