   Kristy Swanson, the original “Buffy,” was hospitalized Sunday in New Jersey   
   for treatment of COVID-19.   
      
   “Prayers for me please. Yesterday I took an ambulance ride to the hospital.   
   I’m still here with pneumonia, I’m on oxygen etc, all Covid related of   
   course. I’m in good spirits and in great hands,” the 51-year-old performer   
   tweeted Monday.   
      
   Swanson  clarified a few hours later that she had been dealing with the   
   virus for a while before the course of her disease shifted.   
      
   “I was just at the tail end of my Covid diagnosis when it jumped into my   
   lungs,” she tweeted. “So they are treating me with Baricitinib & blood   
   thinners so I don’t clot. I’m ok.”   
      
   Swanson also praised the people who were taking care of her and was in good   
   enough spirits to note that the EMTs who had ferried her to Virtua Memorial   
   Hospital in Mount Holly, N.J., were “hot.”   
      
   In an update hours later, Swanson thanked fans for their prayers: “Thank you   
   all for the prayers it truly means a lot to me. I can feel it.”   
      
   She added, “Just little more clarification & update, I was just at the tail   
   end of my Covid diagnosis when it jumped into my lungs. So they are treating   
   me with Baricitinib & blood thinners so I don’t clot. I’m ok.”   
      
   The ’80s icon has drawn criticism for her openly held opinions against   
   vaccination, with some people calling her a contender for the “Herman Cain   
   Awards” — a topical take on the legendary “Darwin Awards,” which honor   
   recently deceased individuals who perish in generally embarrassing ways.   
      
   One Twitter user, a self-described hospital nurse, also reprimanded Swanson,   
   urging her to get jabbed as soon as possible. "I’m sure you are in the great   
   hands of doctors and nurses who are stretched to the max because of people   
   like you — who not only won’t get vaccinated but encourage others not   
   to,”   
   they wrote. “Signed, A tired nurse.”   
      
   “GET VACCINATED,” they added below the signature.
