Actor and comedian D.L. Hughley tested positive for coronavirus after collapsing on stage during a performance in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday night.
Actor, comedian and former CNN anchor D.L. Hughley has tested positive for coronavirus after collapsing on stage during a performance in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday night."When I came I was being treated for extreme exhaustion and dehydration, which I was very dehydrated. But it turns out they ran a battery of tests, and I also tested positive for Covid-19 which blew me away. I was what they call asymptomatic," Hughley said in his post.
"I didn't have any symptoms ... other classic symptoms I didn't have, flu like symptoms I didn't have, shortness of breath, I didn't have difficulty breathing, I didn't have a cough, I didn't have a low grade fever, I still don't have a fever. I didn't have a loss of smell or taste, apparently I just lost consciousness.
Hughley was taken to Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville after collapsing. He said he was going back to his hotel room to quarantine for 14 days after leaving hospital. He ended the video by thanking everyone for their prayers saying,"well thank you for your prayers and your well wishes and a few more of them wouldn't hurt, so hopefully I won't develop symptoms maybe this is as bad as it gets. And I'll just pass out over and over, or not. But thank you, I appreciate your thoughts and your prayers and they did not go unnoticed, or unfelt. Thank you.
