Sharon Stone says her sister is ‘not doing well’ as she blasts US virus response
She said her sister is ‘fighting for her life’.
Sharon Stone has said that her sister is “not doing well” after her coronavirus diagnosis as she criticised the response to the pandemic in the US.
The actress, 62, said she had already lost her grandmother and godmother to the virus.
She added that her sister Kelly, who has lupus, is now “fighting for her life” in the same hospital ward where her husband is also getting treatment for Covid-19.
In a video posted on Instagram, she discussed “the stress, the strain, the exhaustion happening in that hospital” in Montana.
She criticised a lack of testing in the state and said she has not been able to get through to the state’s health department despite ringing “continuously”.
She said the people “in the middle of our country” are at “great risk” of dying from coronavirus.
“The only thing that is going to change this is if you vote,” she said.
She urged people to vote for Democrat candidate Joe Biden and his vice presidential pick Kamala Harris.
Stone added that “with women in power we will fight for our families, we will fight for people to live and we will fight for people to get tested”.
She previously revealed on Sunday that her sister was in hospital with the virus as she urged people to wear face masks.
