On the latest episode of Will Smith’s Snapchat series, “Will From Home,” he talked with his longtime friend and DJ, DJ Jazzy Jeff about his suspected diagnosis of the coronavirus.
Last month, Jeff had revealed that he had pneumonia and that he had lost his sense of taste and smell. Now he is getting candid about what he describes as one of the scariest things he had to deal with in his adult life.
He said, “I came home from my trip. I was like, ‘I feel like I’m coming down with something’ and got into bed, and I don’t remember the next 10 days. I had a temperature that reached 103. I had the chills. I lost sense of smell. I lost sense of taste.” Jeff continued to explain that he couldn’t get tested for the virus, but he was given a flu test despite showing symptoms.

Jeff continued, “They gave me a flu test, and when I went and got the chest X-ray, she came in and said, ‘You have pneumonia in both your lungs.’”
Will asked if anyone else in his family had gotten sick and Jeff revealed that his wife Lynette had also lost her sense of taste and smell, and he said he thinks his mother-in-law also had the virus, but thankfully she is recovering.

As we previously reported, in the spirit of practicing social distancing, Will Smith started his Snapchat series “Will From Home,” where he has been conducting interviews via video chat. Tyra Banks served as his first guest as they talked about their time together on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” and hosted a virtual fashion show together.
