Gary Holt said:

“So I finally received my test results back and positive it was. [My wife] Lisa’s came back negative, and it’s been long enough since my symptoms that I am officially in the clear to do the only things I’m allowed, like buy my own groceries!

“I feel great, made it through the tougher moments, and my health feels 100 percent normal. Thanks to everyone who had wished us well. Now it’s time to start working on some new Exodus riffs while I’m still basically stuck in my house!”

Coronavirus

The United States overcame the barrier of 4,000 deaths caused by the new coronavirus this April 1st, a number that doubled in just three days, according to the balance sheet of Johns Hopkins University. The country reports 189,510 cases of Covid-19. After first minimizing the impact of the disease, President Donald Trump warned Americans that the next two weeks “will be very painful”.

With a field hospital operating in Central Park, New York City has passed a thousand deaths. The disease is having a more devastating effect in certain neighborhoods in the city, such as Brooklyn and Queens, according to the health department.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
