Smokey Robinson, also known as William Robinson Jr, was born in Michigan on February 19, 1940. He is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and former record executive director.
He was the founder and frontman of the Motown vocal group, The Miracles. Recently he was affected by the Covid-19 virus, which left him hospitalized for 11 days.
Pandemic
covid-19 is caused by infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus strain. The new strain of covid-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The virus has since spread to all continents.
The number of people infected changes daily even though the vaccine has arrived, but the virus develops itself to encounter the respiratory system in any condition. The best way to prevent and slow down the transmission is to be well informed about the disease and how the virus spreads.
Most of the people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without special treatment. However, some will become ill and require medical attention.
Older people or those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop severe illness. Anyone can get sick with covid-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age.

Interview
In a recent interview, Smokey Robinson shared his experience about his harrowing encounter. He urged his listeners about the importance of maintaining protocols to stop the spread of COVID-19.” I am very happy to share [my story] because I hope it helps someone,” Robinson said.
He added that COVID just comes on and the people who ask him today, who knew that he had covid and where did he get it, how did he get it? He doesn’t know and has no idea how he got it.
All he knew was that he looked up and he had it.”It was a horrible horrible thing and while I was going through it I wasn’t thinking about ‘Hey man, perhaps you will never get out of this hospital alive,'” Robinson continued. “I wasn’t thinking like that.
I was just thinking about [how] I got to get myself together.”He stressed the importance of protecting yourself and your loved ones because this disease can be fatal and is a terrible experience to go through and that some people go through it mildly but he was someone who went through the severe symptoms of Covid.
And when someone goes through a tough health crisis it gets very rough. He added that if it wasn’t for God’s grace he would not be here talking to everyone at present surely.

She said that she had lots of conversations—and sometimes arguments—with people about vaccines and some fear the idea of side effects and she has experienced the vaccine side effects and COVID-19 side effects, and unfortunately, the side effects don’t compare to the actual illness and she can vouch for that from experience.
