Ted Nugent, who has repeatedly called Covid-19 a "scam" and a "hoax", among other things, has contracted coronavirus.
The musician revealed his diagnosis on social media, adding that he has never felt so sick in his entire life.
Nugent had previously made headlines for saying coronavirus was "not a real pandemic", even though it very much is and more than three million people have died in just over a year from the virus.

In December, Nugent released a Christmas message on Facebook, calling Covid-19 a "scammy pandemic" and calling mask wearers "sheep".
