Unemployable "Comedienne" Rejected by Chinese Coronavirus: Kathy Griffin sticks to COVID-19 angle despite being sent home from hospital with abdominal infection
Comedian Kathy Griffin continued to dramatize her stint at a hospital coronavirus isolation ward despite being sent home with an abdominal infection.Griffin bashed the Trump administration when she revealed she was in a hospital Wednesday but could not get tested for COVID-19 "because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions." Though the 59-year-old entertainer showed none of the coronavirus symptoms and was sent home with a different diagnosis, she took to Twitter to claim she "still has no idea" whether she tested positive or negative for the virus. In a series of tweets Thursday, Griffin quoted from a Los Angeles Times article on her experience, which she unfolded on social media earlier that day.  "Kathy Griffin might have been exposed to the coronavirus. Or she might not have. After a recent trip to urgent care and the emergency room while gravely ill, the comic wasn’t able to get tested," the tweet citing the Times story read. Speaking to the newspaper by phone on Wednesday, Griffin revealed that she was back home and taking medication to treat an abdominal infection and "won’t know whether she’s turned the corner for a couple of days." Griffin had called President Trump a liar Wednesday when she tweeted a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed wearing a mask, claiming she was sent to a "COVID-19 isolation ward in a major hospital ER" from an urgent care facility she had visited after showing "unbearably painful" symptoms. "The hospital couldn’t test me for #coronavirus because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions," she wrote, citing Vice President Mike Pence who leads the administration’s coronavirus response team and claiming Trump was "lying" about the great number of tests being conducted.
