Lin-Manuel Miranda made a joke about his health after a shingles diagnosis, and now he regrets it. The "Hamilton" star and creator wrote on Twitter that his vision was blurred and that he was wearing a "Phantom of the Opera" mask, and after The Associated Press took Miranda's comments seriously, he responded, "I can't post jokes anywhere NEAR my health status, cuz they'll be printed as fact. Sorry. I'm fine. Not wearing a mask. My eyes are fine, they were just dilated for the checkup, which is routine." The Broadway star initially thought he had "the worst migraine of his life," saying that his forehead felt hot, but then learned he had singles. He tweeted on Thursday that he caught it early. He is quarantined from his 8-week-old son, Francisco, to protect the child from risk of infection. He wrote that he is staying at his family's house nearby.

In Beijing, the Commerce Ministry said China doesn't want a trade war — but isn't afraid to fight one.

‘Hamilton’ creator Lin-Manuel Miranda is suffering from shingles
Lin-Manuel Miranda revealed he's battling shingles, one day after he complained he was suffering from the worst migraine he'd ever experienced. "This isn't a migraine, it's shingles!" the "Hamilton" creator tweeted Thursday. "Caught it early, quarantined away from the baby, in a Phantom mask til further notice." Headaches are a frequent symptom of shingles, which is a viral infection that often leaves those affected with an uncomfortable rash, sensitive skin, itchiness and, in some cases, a fever. The infection — which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — can be contagious, which is why Miranda is smart to keep his distance from his newborn, Francisco. A pair of vaccines can help prevent shingles, including the chickenpox shot, as that illness is caused by the same virus.
