Ellis Paul

Hey Everyone—

I hope you are safe and healthy out there. Thanks for the well wishes and support.

I’ve spent the last couple weeks in bed and finally got myself to a clinic here in Charlottesville, VA to be tested. I had performed at City Winery in New York City in mid-March so I thought I had better find out what was happening and to let people know that I had contracted the virus on the trip if the had also attended. The test was surreal but harmless, and I finally received a negative result back from the clinic after five days. I’m hearing the accuracy of the tests are at 70 percent, so I’m behaving like I still have it until the time period for spreading it to others has passed. I haven’t seen my kids in two weeks.

But I’m feeling better.

I will be doing multiple things in order to rebuild my music career and teaching life for the upcoming year online.
