“I’ve tested positive for COVID-19, I have the Coronavirus. I learned this over the weekend. I got tested three times last week prior to the weekend and I tested negative. I had tested negative before I departed for L.A.

“I tested negative when I got to L.A., I tested negative when I got back from L.A. […] I’m feeling fine. Mild symptoms. Thank God I was vaccinated. Thank God I got the Pfizer vaccine, two shots a few months ago.”
