Through his social media accounts, drummer Mike Portnoy revealed last Saturday, the 2nd, that he tested positive for COVID-19.
Through his Instagram account , the musician said that this is the first time he has contracted the virus and that he would be disabling comments on the post to avoid discussions about "politics, vaccines, and masks." "I don't need this headache anymore," he wrote.
On Sunday the 3rd, the drummer returned to Instagram to post a photo of a second positive test and wrote: “Day 3… This sucks #FuckCovid.”
We're rooting for Portnoy's speedy recovery!
