Madonna announces she's off to 'breathe in the COVID-19 air' after testing positive for antibodies

Do not breathe in COVID-19 air, please.

Madonna has been passing her time in quarantine recording bizarre, vaguely Lynchian video diaries, and in her latest, posted Thursday, she revealed that she has tested positive for coronavirus antibodies. "So tomorrow, I'm just going to go for a long drive in the car," Madonna said, "and I'm going to roll down the window, and I'm going to breathe in the COVID-19 air."

Madonna is perhaps unaware of the CDC warning that "it's unclear if … antibodies can provide protection against getting infected again," US Weekly notes, and that maybe breathing in "the COVID-19 air" is not such a good idea at this time. Still, it's worth watching her entire diary entry, if only to hear her say, "go to bed, naughty little candle."
