Alright you guys, you saw our video about Shane Dawson thinking that he may have already
had the coronavirus a little while back and possibly gave it to his friends and family?…
Well, we’ve now clarified what Shane really meant.
What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and don’t worry Clevver isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home to do our part in preventing the spread of
Coronavirus.
And speaking of the coronavirus, earlier this week we reported on a story about how Shane
Dawson took to IG stories to explain that he was sick back in January, and that he had
similar symptoms to that of the coronavirus.
In those same stories, Shane went on to explain his symptoms as cough, fever, and chills,
which are the symptoms of COVID-19.
Although this happened in January, which was before the coronavirus was widespread in the
United States.
Shane did call a doctor because he was feeling so ill, and at the time, doctors tested him
for the flu.
However, interesting enough the results came back negative for every strain of the flu,
so they couldn’t figure out what he was sick with.
And while many of his fans related to him and actually shared similar stories about
how they were sick and thought they also could’ve had the coronavirus…

Shane actually quickly deleted those original IG stories realizing that they might be sending
out the wrong message.
A message that makes it look like Shane was starting up a conspiracy theory.
However; that’s the furthest thing from Shane’s mind right now.
After quickly deleting those IG stories Shane clarified why he deleted them.
He explained that he realised they sounded like a conspiracy, but he isn’t saying it's
a conspiracy.
He also didn’t want it to look like he was making a conspiracy out of something he believes
and we all know is extremely serious.
Shane reiterated the only thing that matters right now is sending support to those in need
and being there for one another, because it is such a serious matter.
We will get into those IG stories in more detail a little later in this story.
But we first wanted to include an apology for not including that part of Shane’s stories
and information in our initial report.
This is a scary time for everyone and here at Clevver we are just doing our best to bring
you all the news and all the facts while working remotely.
Shane obviously takes this stuff very seriously and brought the update to his stories - and
fact he deleted his original instagram stories to our attention, explaining that he deleted
the stories so people wouldn’t take them the wrong way or out of context.
Shane commented on our Clevver video saying quote, “I realized right after I posted
them that people could see it as me trying to spark up a theory and I instantly felt
sick to my stomach and removed them.
I would never want to seem like I’m trying to get attention or something.
I’ve never been that kind of person.
My heart is with people who are scared and struggling with all of this right now and
that’s where I’m gonna put all my attention from now on.”

He continued on saying quote, “I think right now is a very weird time and everyone is mentally
spiraling (me included) so I think instead of 3am insta story rambling sessions I’m
just gonna stick to rambling to my dogs.
Stay safe everyone!!!”
And we couldn’t agree more with that sentiment!
As mentioned earlier, Shane also posted some follow up IG stories after he took down the
ones explaining his diagnosis and whether or not he could have had coronavirus.
In the follow up stories, he explained that he was having a moment of anxiety, like many
of us are having, and he spiraled.
Shane also went on to reveal in this story that it was never his intention to get a conversation
going about conspiracy theories during a time like this and that’s why he took it down.
And the most important part of all of Shane’s stories happened when he sent well wishes
to anyone who has been impacted by this scary virus.
So there you have it.
No conspiracy theories to see here.
As Shane said in his stories, this is not a time for conspiracy theories, what is happening
is very serious.
But if you do want a conspiracy video from Shane, he’s got plenty of those over on
his channel, just not about coronavirus, despite fans’ requests ...
