Writing on social media that he "held off as long as I could," Cardinals broadcaster and former outfielder Jim Edmonds underwent tests Saturday for the coronavirus after going to an emergency room for what he described as severe symptoms.
Edmonds shared the information on his Instagram feed, through the use of the social media's "story" function. In a collection of photos and text, Edmonds showed himself at a hospital, wearing a mask, and also undergoing X-rays. He described himself as "super sick" leading up to the trip to the hospital, and he pointed out that the swab needed for the coronavirus test probes rather deep into the nose.
On Saturday evening, he posted a video from his home saying that he had tested positive for pneumonia and awaited word on other exams.
