Gloria Estefan followed the pandemic rules. She claims she “rigorously” complied with health and safety measures, limiting her exposure to others. But the 63-year-old singer admitted during an Instagram video chat that she was “one of the victims of Covid.”
Despite her adherence to protocols, Estefan said she dined outdoors at a restaurant in Miami with three family members. She tested negative days later, but soon started feeling ill and got the classic coronavirus symptoms of losing taste and smell, along with a cough and dehydration.
“The only thing that I can imagine happened is that someone came up to me when I was eating and tapped me on the shoulder,” she said. “They were very close, they had no mask and they were telling me beautiful things — but that’s the only thing that I have done outside my enclosure here, my quarantine.”
She continued, “I was very lucky. But I just wanted to share with you that I was in quarantine, and one day I went out and met with one person who was not wearing a mask. I even held my breath through their talk, but something must have happened there,” she said.
Estefan fell ill in early November, spending two weeks in isolation on the second floor of her home. She credits vitamins for her ability to avoid the disease’s worst aspects.
“Fear was my biggest problem,” Estefan said. “We’ve got to grab fear and shake it and just do whatever you can to keep your immune system as healthy as you can.”
Estefan has now tested negative twice since last week.
During her long career, Estefan has sold more than 100 million records, with 38 No. 1 hits on the Billboard charts. She is a seven-time Grammy-winning singer, actress, songwriter, and author of two New York Times bestselling children’s books.
I see what you did there. 😄🎸🎤🎵
Loss of taste and smell, cough, and dehydration. I don’t consider that an illness. Give me a break.
There must be bodies everywhere.
“...just do whatever you can to keep your immune system as healthy as you can.”
Yeah, be OKAY catching bugs now and then. Simple.
Key word is “imagine”
“Loss of taste and smell, cough, and dehydration. I don’t consider that an illness. Give me a break.”
No kidding.
What a traumatic experience for such a pampered millionaire diva. And it’s a fan, who got her there, who’s at fault for this horrible, horrible experience. *rolls eyes*
I agree with her here. What the media and the government should’ve been promoting this entire time is building up ones immune system to make sure that you could beat Covid if you caught it. Instead they closed gyms and playgrounds and told people to stay indoors. How can anyone stay healthy staying inside with no exercise.
For me, it felt like a flu bug. A little fever, napped a lot, muscle ache, and a loss of taste and smell, which I got back. Terrible taste in my mouth for a few days. I never felt it was life threatening. Took longer than I would like, about 3 weeks. I never verified it because I did not need too. Guess that means I don’t need no freaking vaccine.
When did you get COVID-19?
The covid is gonna get ya
The covid is gonna get ya
The covid is gonna get yaaaaa
Tonight!
Now I just need a melody.
What a light weight. A snowflake. A great heaving cupcake.
I am damn impressed at the power exerted to make people this stupid. The power is impressive, the success makes me think us chimps should have stayed in the trees because we haven’t come very far.
Make that woman an honorary FearBro!

Never heard of it but I’ll look into it. Thanks.
Gotta blame the “little people” and the great “unwashed”.
