Kathy Griffin Gets Mexican Diarrhea — Blames Trump for Not Giving Her Coronavirus Test

Kathy Griffin said Thursday she was home with a stomach infection after previously complaining of “unbearably painful” COVID-19 symptoms and blaming the Trump administration for her being unable to get a test for the disease.

In her latest medical update, Griffin told the Los Angeles Times she had recently returned from vacation in Mexico and experienced intense abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and a cough. She said she was sent to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and placed in its coronavirus isolation ward.

According to Griffin, an x-ray revealed her lungs were clear and another scan showed she had an abdominal infection. A doctor still wanted to administer a test for COVID-19 because some of her symptoms fit those of the respiratory infection caused by the novel coronavirus, the comedian claimed.

But, she said, the doctor explained he couldn’t give her the test because of guidelines issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A day earlier, Griffin, 59, a comedian and former “My Life on the D-List” reality show star, reported on Instagram she was in the coronavirus isolation ward of “a major hospital ER.” She said was unable to be tested for COVID-19 “because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions.”
