According to him, he spent Christmas and the New Year at the hospital. The comedian went on to remind others that Doctors, Pastors, Professors, billionaires and even the poor have all died of covid-19.
He captioned the shared video:
COVID is real.
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s a scam. I just came out of isolation. Several people died while I was there. Some of my close friends knew and they were very supportive.
