(CNN)Actor, comedian and former CNN anchor D.L. Hughley announced he tested positive for coronavirus after collapsing on stage during a show in Nashville.

Snip

Hughley said the positive diagnosis came after a battery of tests were performed when he was taken to Nashville's Saint Thomas Hospital Friday night after his collapse.

"I was what they call asymptomatic," Hughley said in his post. "I didn't have flu-like symptoms, I didn't have shortness of breath, I didn't have difficulty breathing, I didn't have a cough, I didn't have a low grade fever. I still don't have a fever. I didn't have a loss of smell or taste, apparently I just lost consciousnes."

FFS it's not rocket science. How many did he infect? This guy's a role model too. Hope he gets better.
