Pink's husband Carey Hart spoke about caring for their son Jameson Moon Hart after the 3-year-old tested positive for the novel coronavirus on Monday's episode of SiriusXM's "The Jason Ellis Show."

The 44-year-old explained that Jameson and Pink, who also tested positive, were both "extremely sick," adding that his son "got the worst of the two of them."

The former professional motocross competitor shared that his family went under "full-blown lockdown" at their farm after he returned from Daytona Bike Week on March 11, several days before Pink and Jameson started exhibiting symptoms.

"My son kind of took a turn for the worse. He had had extremely high body temperature. He was up around 102, 103 for, God, like a solid two going on three weeks straight," he recalled, continuing, "The kid was in the bath four, five times a day trying to break his temperature."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children that test positive for COVID-19 "have generally shown mild symptoms." They also reported, "It's not known yet whether some children may be at higher risk for severe illness, for example, children with underlying medical conditions and special healthcare needs."

Both Jameson and Pink's conditions worsened, according to Hart, who added that his wife has asthma, a preexisting condition that makes her more vulnerable to COVID-19, which he said "attacked her lungs and her chest."

Hart said his family returned to their residence in Los Angeles to be closer to Jameson's pediatrician and Pink's doctor, explaining that their symptoms eventually alleviated. Pink and Jameson have both since recovered from the novel coronavirus.

Although the family stayed together while Jameson and Pink were sick, Hart said that he and his 8-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart showed "zero symptoms."

He added that they weren't tested but figured they were asymptomatic, reasoning that after living together for weeks, "if one of us has it, all of us have it."

Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, estimated that "somewhere between 25% and 50%" of individuals who have COVID-19 may not exhibit symptoms but can still transmit the illness to others.

Pink has also opened up about Jameson's battle with COVID-19, calling it the "scariest thing I've ever, ever been through in my whole life" during an emotional interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday.

"Every day was just some new symptom. His fever stayed, it didn't go. And then it just started going up and up and up and up, and then at one point it was at 103," she said, adding, "At one point when he started throwing up and saying he had chest pains and it hurt to breathe."

The 40-year-old singer confirmed that Jameson's fever went down on April 7.

Since their diagnoses, Pink announced plans to donate $1 million to two emergency relief funds, Temple University Hospital Fund in Philadelphia and the COVID-19 response fund run by the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles.
