Earlier this week, Tom Hanks revealed on Instagram and Twitter that both he and his wife, Rita Wilson, had tested positive for the Coronavirus.
Fans, family, and friends sent their well-wishes to the Hanks', but in the meantime, Tom has done us all the favor of keeping us updated on his and Rita's health.
The death toll, globally, of the coronavirus pandemic has jumped to 5043.
Schools are being shut down, social gatherings such as conferences, concerts, and festivals are being canceled or postponed, and the NBA and NHL have both suspended their seasons.
He took to social media to alert his followers that, after feeling under the weather, he and Rita tested positive for the virus.
"We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went."
To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus," he explained.
"Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed," he went on.
"Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves!," he concluded.
Marlon Wayan's kept things light, jokingly suggesting that being the first "Hollywood Caronavirus" is an achievement.
I'm sure at a time like this, Tom and Rita could definitely appreciate a morale boost!
"Woody, I should have made you two wear my space suits! You and Rita rest and get well!," he wrote.
"Seriously rest up and get well!," he concluded.
Anyway, a few days ago, Hanks followed up with his followers, giving them an update on how he and Rita are holding up.
"Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us," he wrote.
He explained that their hope is not to spread it to anyone who could react badly to it.
"We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this," he continued.
"Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx," he concluded.
"Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx"
Seriously, a lot of people went off about the vegemite.
She asked fans to help her make a playlist of songs to get her through this tough time!
It includes amazing isolation songs like, Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" and Destiny Child's "Survivor".
You can listen to it here.
We hope for a speedy recovery for all those who have the virus!
