Everybody can relax because Madonna says she has the coronavirus antibodies, so everything’s fine now, OK?
In yesterday’s “Quarantine Diary,” shared with her 15 million followers on Instagram, the singer announced that she took a coronavirus antibody test this week and it came back positive, which means she likely already had the coronavirus and didn’t even know it. Now, she plans to go outside and “breathe in the COVID-19 air.”
“Took a test the other day,” she said. “I found out that I have the antibodies, so tomorrow, I’m just going to go for a long drive in a car and roll down the window, and I’m going to breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yep. I hope the sun is shining.”
“Here’s the good news. Tomorrow’s another day and I’m going to wake up and I’m going to feel differently.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The singer then urged people to #staysafe and #staysane.
It’s not entirely clear what Madonna hopes to accomplish by breathing in as much of the virus as possible, but if she has antibodies, it means she may have immunity to it, though scientists still aren’t 100% sure about this.
The CDC says that just because a person tests positive for COVID-19 antibodies, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re immune. And, even if they are, nobody knows how long the immunity lasts.
“A positive test result shows you have antibodies that likely resulted from an infection with SARS-CoV-2, or possibly a related coronavirus,” the department says.
“It’s unclear if those antibodies can provide protection against getting infected again. This means that we do not know at this time if antibodies make you immune to the virus.”
Last month, Madonna drew criticism when she posted a video of herself in a milky bathtub waxing poetic about how “terrible” but also “great” the coronavirus is, calling it the “great equalizer” because it doesn’t care how rich or famous a person is.
The video has since been scrubbed from her Instagram page, but not people several people uploaded it to YouTube.

Thank you queerty for making a point to remind readers that public health scientists cannot yet say with certainty if coronavirus antibodies provide immunity to re-infection, or for how long.

Just in case anybody thought quarantining was going to ween some celebrities off of the need for constant attention, here’s Madonna to prove you wrong.

Hey, Madonna- why don’t you just take a big long break from the public eye. As long as you want. Rethink yourself. Remake yourself, as you used to do brilliantly on a regular basis so many years ago. Maybe not come back at all. But if you do, come back as something new and exciting because right now, Honey, you are just so tired, tiresome and tiring and those are adjectives that back in the day no one would ever have thought would ever be used to describe you.

Too bad so sad!
Maybe you’ll get a stronger strain this time stupid bitch entitled as ever!
@dusyk
Wtf what a stupid thing to say and do, sounds like the virus already took a hold on her lol

I think the Botox is getting into her brain…

Seriously though, her left eye is drooping from it. She needs to stop or she’ll end up with Kaitlyn Jenner eye.

So who’s going to be the one to tell her that according to many medical groups (CDC, Who, etc) not all antibody tests are reliable? Poor Madge. She will forever be an influential part of my past and I still listen to a lot of her music but this is just sad. It’s like watching my grandma loose her shite in the latter part of her life all over again.

Madge is now full on cray-cray. What worries me is that we’re the same age!!

Who is she? She’s funny.

Your greatest fault is – You only want what you cannot have.
Once your fans have proven that they willing to pay to see you, they mean zero to you. You prove this every time you start a concert late.
Actors, intellectuals and beautiful people are the only people you care about because they have what you do not. Talent, brains and beauty
WAKE UP YOURSELF – it is sadomasochist

Great comment. To your point, I’m always surprised that her fans continue spending big bucks to see a woman who hasn’t had a hit record in decades and rudely keeps the waiting HOURS at each show. Madonna has never respected her fans.

she’s finally become an eccentric old lady.

You people are simply vile. First of all, anyone without a polluted mind can understand what she is saying about the virus. She is making a very intelligent point that people are twisting into something bad because they aren’t intelligent enough to understand it. She is saying that the virus has made us all equal as in we are all susceptible to it and equality is a thing that a lot of people need to feel but it’s terrible that it’s the virus teaching that lesson.
All of your ugly comments have a powerful message in them. They scream that you people are what’s wrong with the world today. Your negativity that you release into this world is disgusting and will come back to you one day.
Madonna, you keep doing you as you always have. Keep bringing light to dark places. The Revolution Of Love is needed more than ever now.
Chrisk
It underscores the failure of testing in this county. Apparently rich people can easily get it though. I’ll give her that.

Madonna never fails to create a new character by which she can live through. This one seeks to be desperately profound. I wonder who the Madonna is that has spent her life playing these characters? She is who I’m really intrigued to know. Maybe one day she will reveal herself.

How idiotic.
She is likely spreading it.

Locking yourself inside permanently deteriorates your immune system over time making you more susceptible to illnesses, but carry on.

Don’t you have a Freedom Rally to attend with your fellow Trumpers?

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are overrated you Putin lover!

I never thought Madonna would turn into a universal joke, just asking to be mocked. She used to be the coolest, shrewdest, smartest person in show biz, with a stellar, incredible career. Now, unfortunately, she just seems sad and lost with no idea what to do, now that she is no longer young and popular.
wadd
Unfortunately, she’s setting a very bad and dangerous example

You know you’re getting old when Madonna starts looking like Sophia from the Golden girls.
