Covid 19 coronavirus: Australian golfer Greg Norman reveals Christmas virus diagnosis

Greg Norman’s Christmas was ruined after contracting Covid-19.

The Australian golf legend, who lives in the United States, uploaded an emotional message on Instagram about the virus, as well as photos that appear to show him in the hospital.

“This sums it up. My Christmas Day. On behalf of millions, fuck Covid,” Norman wrote.

“Leave this behind, never to experience it again.”

Less than a day earlier, Norman posted a video on social media explaining that even though he returned a negative Covid-19 test earlier in the week, he was showing “mild symptoms” of the coronavirus.

At that stage, he wasn’t sure if it was Covid-19, but admitted that he felt “a lot like the flu,” that he was coughing and had a fever and aches and pains.

Norman said he was going to self-quarantine his home on Christmas Eve so as not to pose a risk to family and friends, but was later updating his hospital followers.

Australian golf commentator Luke Elvy wrote on Twitter: “Shame on @SharkGregNorman and family shot down with Covid on Christmas Day. Hoping for speedy recovery, Greg.”

A week ago, Norman was playing in the PNC Championship in Florida with his son Greg Norman Jr. The pair finished ninth in the father-son tournament in Florida, two places behind the headlining team of Tiger Woods and his son of 11 years. son Charlie.

Ahead of last month’s US elections, Norman praised outgoing President Donald Trump for the way he had run the country and said he did not deserve the blame for the catastrophic cost that Covid-19 has taken in the United States.

Speaking to Seven News about Trump’s response to the global pandemic, Norman suggested that he should not be tried for a once-in-a-lifetime event.

“You name me a person on this planet, a person who has experienced a pandemic like this, nobody,” Norman said. “It was 100 years ago, right?”
