Ozzy Osbourne has been through a lot this year. The 71-year-old musician, having recently revealed his Parkinson's disease diagnosis and undergone back surgery a few weeks ago, said he fears the worst if he tests positive for COVID-19.
Speaking to GQ, he said: “I have emphysema, so if I catch the virus I’m screwed.” Pulmonary emphysema, or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a disease where lung tissue is gradually destroyed. Osbourne, recalling the damaging effects of the new coronavirus on the respiratory system, confesses to being worried.
Asked about his current health, the artist replied: “When you turn 70, doors open and you go downhill. But it’s okay, I managed to escape all that for a long time.”.
"If I need to go out, I wear a mask, but I don't like wearing masks, so I avoid going out," she said about her methods of preventing the disease.
