Jason Kaplan Tests Positive for COVID-19 After Attending Multiple Phish Shows
“I’ve got no one to blame but myself for this,” Stern Show staffer admits to Howard
When Jason Kaplan admitted he attended two Phish concerts at Madison Square Garden recently, Howard was concerned the longtime Stern Show staffer might have contracted COVID-19. It turns out he was right. “I took an in-home test and then I went to a doctor … the results are I do indeed have COVID, and I’m really upset about it,” Jason revealed Wednesday morning. “I’ve got no one to blame but myself for this … In my head, I did that stupid move where [I said] ‘Fuck it, I’m going to go have a fun weekend,’ but I regret it now.”
Jason, who has mild symptoms and hopes to serve as a reminder that COVID-19 is still contractable, also admitted he had a great time. “They were great shows,” he remarked. “Nothing is worth getting COVID for but the Phish shows were amazing, and I had an absolute blast. Live music is the number one thing I missed most with this whole COVID shit.”
When co-host Robin Quivers critiqued Jason for not wearing a mask during the sold-out concerts, the staffer didn’t offer up any excuses. “I was stupid, there’s no other way to say it,” he resigned.
