Liv Tyler is the last star to test positive for COVID-19, comparing the impact of the virus to a “locomotive”.
Aerosmith rocker actress and daughter Steven Tyler shared the news on Instagram on Friday, alongside a photo of her wearing a mask and snuggling two of her three children. “I got together with my loves … what two wild weeks,” wrote Liv, 43. “I’m such a reserved and shy person and I don’t usually share these things, but this is a big question and I feel that we all need to share our stories , to share information, to gather facts and conscience and mainly to know that we are not alone in this. “
Tyler said she tested positive for COVID-19 on New Year’s Eve. “Shit, I had done this until 2020 to keep myself and my family safe,” she wrote. “Doing everything I could to protect my pack from wolves and follow the rules to protect others. Suddenly at [morning] the last day of 2020 … boom brought me down. It comes fast, like a locomotive. Owchie. “
Tyler said the news made her feel guilty about a pandemic that infected more than 23 million people in the United States. “With that, feelings of fear, shame and guilt circulating in you, from whom you could have contracted and who could have infected … terrifying,” she wrote.
His family, however, was negative. Liv shares daughter Lula, 4, and son Sailor, 5, with fiance Dave Gardner. Liv also has a 16-year-old son named Milo with ex-husband and former Spacehog frontman Roy Langdon.
“There are so many strange elements in this disease,” she wrote. “This [affects] all completely differently. I was very lucky and had corona light, like my mother @realbebebuell [Bebe Buell] called, but it shocked me for 10 days in my bed. There are the physical aspects, but also the emotional and psychological ones. It is with your body and mind equally. Each day different. To be isolated in a room alone for 10 days is at least mind-blowing. “
Liv said that recent events, such as the attack on the United States Capitol by supporters of President Trump to topple Joe Biden’s next presidency (whose inauguration takes place on Wednesday), do not seem real. “Waking up with news that our capital is under attack. Was it real or the twilight zone? Ohhh no, it was real !!! ” she wrote. “The first days of 2021 were scary for everyone in the world. The unknown is so great. “
However, Liv was able to observe her children from a distance. “I missed my babies, but they visited my window and called me and I see them playing outside. What a gift. They sent little messages and drawings under my door. Reminders of what’s on the other side. To improve. “
Liv said she is recovered and feels compassion for other patients and health professionals. “I am very grateful to have been through this and spent my days alone praying and radiating love to everyone who is [affected] and suffering from it, ”she wrote. “Those who work tirelessly to protect and care for others. Thanks. We are all connected through this experience. I feel humble and full of gratitude for being well, a gift and radiating love and light to all those who left this world because of this virus and those who are suffering … ”
In September, Tyler left the Fox television series 9-1-1: Lone Star due to his travel schedule in the midst of the pandemic, according to a Variety. Tyler, who played Texas paramedic Michelle Blake in season one, was concerned about taking flights to and from the United States (the actress lives in England). On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report stating that B.1.1.7, a “highly transmissible variant” of SARS-CoV-2, was detected in ten US states. The variant, also found in the United Kingdom, “has the potential to increase the path of the pandemic in the United States in the coming months”.
