« It’s not fun to get this. » Country music star Reba McEntire revealed to fans that she and her fiancé Rex Linn have what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) terms “breakthrough” COVID-19 infections, meaning the pair have been fully vaccinated but were still infected with the virus. “I just want to say one thing: this has been a hard year and it’s getting rougher again,” the singer posted to social media, according to Fox News. “You guys, please stay safe. Wear your mask. Do what you have to do. Stay home.” “It’s not fun to get this. I did get it. Rex and I got it and it’s not fun. You don’t feel good,” McEntire continued. “We were both vaccinated and we still got it, so stay safe, stay home, and be protected the best you can.” According to PBS, “Most epidemiologists agree that a breakthrough case occurs when a person who has been fully vaccinated becomes infected with the coronavirus. That infection could manifest as anything from asymptomatic, to mild symptoms, to severe symptoms that result in hospitalization or even death.” Medical experts say the vast majority of COVID-19 deaths are in the unvaccinated. The CDC, for example, has earlier in the pandemic pegged the unvaccinated population as compromising more than 99% of all COVID-19 deaths, according to Business Insider.
