Kevin Smith shared that he’s tested positive for COVID-19 this week. On Twitter, the director told his followers that he’s been resting at home after finding out about the diagnosis. There’s just not a lot he can do besides wait this situation out. As an aside, Smith also woke up to the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. The filmmaker was heartbroken to hear the news as so many people lost their lives to senseless violence on Tuesday. Everything going on made him just lie back down and go to sleep. Fans mostly agreed and some wished him well on his recovery time. It would seem as though his podcast Fatman Beyond will have to be remote for a little while while Smith recuperates. Still, the tweet and his statement serve as a reminder that the pandemic is not over and people have to make choices that minimize putting themselves and others at risk.
Spent yesterday sleeping after testing positive for Covid, because I felt so nauseatingly fucked up and fatigued.Woke up to the news of the shooting.Now feeling emotionally fucked up and fatigued. And even more nauseated.
