Ted Nugent announced that he tested positive for COVID-19.
The rocker took to Facebook to share the news.
“I have to make an announcement,” Nugent explained in a video message, noting that “everyone told me not to announce this.”
“I’ve had flu symptoms for the past ten days,” he continued. And I just thought I was dying. Just a cluster fuck. “
Nugent went on to explain that he had visited his doctor, who proposed to be tested for coronavirus. While the rocker initially declined, he eventually moved in and agreed.
“I officially tested positive for COVID-19 today,” said Nugent, also referring to the virus as “Chinese virus attack ’21” and “the Chinese shit” at various points in the video.
In describing his ordeal, the guitarist revealed that he had suffered from ‘full head’ and ‘body aches’. “I have literally been able to get out of bed for the past few days,” he admitted.
Now the rocker says he is “housebound, ie quarantined,” while recovering from the disease.
Nugent has verbally questioned the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak, saying in the past that it is “not a real pandemic.” The Motor City Madman has also previously spoken out against coronavirus vaccinations, saying, “You come to me with a needle, and I will fear for my life, and you know what I will do when you come to me with a needle. ‘Hi, I’m from the government. This needle is good for you. ‘Fuck you! “
Even after his own infection, the rocker continued to criticize the vaccines.
“Nobody knows what’s in it,” Nugent explained, proclaiming he won’t take a vaccine “if you can’t even honestly answer our questions about what exactly is in it and why are you testing it on people and pushing it on people like that. a short while. “
In a separate video, Nugent thanked his fans for their tremendous support. Thousands of people (say), ‘Ted, we pray for you … the most important thing is to take care of yourself.’ To everyone who cares about the old guitarist’s health – thank you, thank you, thank you. Your empathy and support, it’s so rewarding. “
