US comedian Kathy Griffin revealed on Wednesday that she was in a hospital coronavirus isolation ward after experiencing unbearably painful symptoms of Covid-19.

Kathy shared a photo of herself on Instagram, wearing a mask in a bed at what she said was a major hospital ER.

She wrote that she had been unable to get tested because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions.

Citing a tweet from president Donald Trump that falsely claimed the US had done more coronavirus testing than any nation, Kathy wrote: Hes lying.
