Pink disclosed that in early April she and her son fought the coronavirus and reflected her own experience. She said that battling COVID-19 along with her three-year-old son was “the most physically and emotionally challenging experience” she has gone through as a mother. She mentioned that weeks after receiving their test results, her son was still ill and feverish. It was a terrifying time, not knowing what might come next.
Pink added that their story is not unique; there are mothers all over America, and the world, that are facing this same uncertainty every single day. Not every family, especially those living on reservations, or in refugee camps, slums, or favelas, are able to practice social distancing.
