Brian May, Queen’s guitarist, has recently revealed that he and his wife have tested positive for COVID-19 after going out to a birthday lunch for a friend where all guests provided a negative test for attendance.
“It seemed like you were in a safe situation. You have your negative tests… What could possibly go wrong? We thought were in a safe bubble so we didn’t wear masks,” May said in a video posted to Instagram on Saturday. “We’re testing the whole time and we’re testing negative. And Tuesday, I hear that I think eight people from the party had already tested positive and had COVID in their systems, and I realize they had been testing negative up until this point.”
May stressed that it took at least three days from the event for the test to show accurate results and that what ensured was the “worst glue that you could imagine.” The musician credits his booster shot for preventing the sickness from being at its worst.
“I can’t emphasize to you enough: This is not the response that my body would have made on its own. It’s making this response because I’ve had three Pfizer jabs,” he said. “And I beg you, and implore you, to go and get jabbed if you’re not already. Because you need the help.”
