Anti-Trump comedian Kathy Griffin has been hospitalized with, what she describes as, "UNBEARABLY PAINFUL" COVID-19 symptoms.
The far-left star has been posting about her situation on social media from a hospital coronavirus isolation room and has taken the opportunity to attack President Donald Trump about his administration's response to the pandemic.
Griffin posted images of herself in a hospital ward along with one of Trump's tweets about the testing that the United States had conducted to tackle the coronavirus.
"Just reported that the United States has done far more 'testing' than any other nation, by far!" tweeted Trump.
Just reported that the United States has done far more “testing” than any other nation, by far! In fact, over an eight day span, the United States now does more testing than what South Korea (which has been a very successful tester) does over an eight week span. Great job!

Griffin accused the presdient of "lying," tweeting that she had not been tested because of administration restrictions.
"He's lying. I was sent to the #COVID19 isolation ward room in a major hospital ER from a separate urgent care facility after showing UNBEARABLY PAINFUL symptoms," she claimed.
He’s lying. I was sent to the #COVID19 isolation ward room in a major hospital ER from a separate urgent care facility after showing UNBEARABLY PAINFUL symptoms. The hospital couldn’t test me for #coronavirus because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions. #TESTTESTTEST https://t.co/18fRiOBsdN pic.twitter.com/0sU9fHu4r0

"The hospital couldn't test me for #coronavirus because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions," she added.
Many on social media noted that Griffin could have been denied a coronavirus test without that fact contradicting the fact that the United States had tested more people than other countries.
NPR reported that the United States had surpassed South Korea in coronavirus tests, but added that the latter surpassed the U.S. in per capita testing.

Griffin has been a vicious critic of Trump in the past and has even claimed that she lost work because of her comments and actions against him.
She previously sparred with Trump after she posed for a photo holding a severed prosthetic head molded in President Trump's likeness.
The move led to intense public backlash and ignited a federal investigation.
If diagnosed with coronavirus, Griffin would join the likes of Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, Debi Mazar, Daniel Dae Kim, Andy Cohen, and Nyle DiMarco as celebrities who’ve contracted COVID-19 during the outbreak.
