Sarah Palin reveals COVID diagnosis with 'bizarre' symptoms: 'Anyone can catch this'

Sarah Palin is the latest to reveal she's tested positive for the deadly coronavirus and is urging others to put guidelines into normal practice.

The former governor of Alaska revealed in a statement to People that she contracted COVID-19 along with several of her family members. That includes her 12-year-old son, Trig.

Palin explained that she was confident about her own health, which proves that anyone can come in contact with the virus.

"As confident as I'd like to be about my own health, and despite my joking that I'm blessed to constantly breathe in the most sterile (frozen!) air, my case is perhaps one of those that proves anyone can catch this," she said.

Her coronavirus experience began with her children, who both began experiencing "bizarre" symptoms like loss of taste and smell followed by positive COVID tests.

After seeing the symptoms come up in one of her daughters, she later found symptoms in her son, Trig. "Children with special needs are vulnerable to COVID ramifications [Trig was born with Down syndrome], so with a high fever he was prescribed azithromycin, which really seemed to help, and I increased amounts of vitamins I put in his puréed food," she said.
