On a Facebook Live chat this week, Godsmack frontman Sully Erna talked about how he’s dealing with the COVID -19 pandemic. He said: “I have not, since day one, with this thing, been one of the people that are flipping out about this. At the same time, I'm following the rules, I'm being responsible, because I know there's other people that are way more in jeopardy than I am.”
Erna said that he wouldn’t be surprised if he already had it. He recalled a trip he took in mid-February to L.A. with his daughter and friends. He felt sick a couple of days after getting back home and said: “I got this really weird flu. And I remember it feeling foreign. It was, like, 'Ah, is this the flu or is it allergies?'”
He had all the symptoms, except for the shortness of breath. And said, “I probably have a much bigger lung capacity than a lot of people. And so, it makes me think, with all the symptoms, that maybe I caught an early dose of it.”
Except for working out at the Godsmack headquarters, a few miles from his home…Erna, who lives in New Hampshire, says that he has been obeying Governor Chris Sununu's stay-at-home emergency order – which went into effect late last month.
