Swanson, who has been a vocal Trump supporter and Fauci critic, tweeted that she’s battling COVID-related pneumonia and is now being treated with oxygen. She gave a few more details in later tweets: “Just [a] little more clarification & update, I was just at the tail end of my Covid diagnosis when it jumped into my lungs. So they are treating me with Baricitinib & blood thinners so I don’t clot.” In tweets, the actress has criticized vaccine and mask mandates.
Thank you all for the prayers it truly means a lot to me. I can feel it 🤗. Just little more clarification & update, I was just at the tail end of my Covid diagnosis when it jumped into my lungs. So they are treating me with Baricitinib & blood thinners so I don’t clot. I’m ok.
