Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson Recovering from Coronavirus
Finally, after almost two weeks of struggling, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have shown improvement from the coronavirus symptoms.
On March 11, the couple was tested positive with COVID-19. They have been spending a couple of days in the hospital before they were sent home.
They have been proactive in announcing to their fans their updates and some of their positive changes as days went by.
On Sunday night, the award-winning actor made a tweet and posted, “Hey, folks. Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better. Sheltering in place works like this: You don’t give it to anyone – You don’t get it from anyone. Common sense, no? Going to take a while, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts… this, too, shall pass. We can figure this out.”
Whereas the wife of Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson had her way of updating her fans too. She shared a fun video rapping to Naughty by Nature’s Hip Hop Hooray. This, while in her hand a copy of Orson Scott Card’s novel “Ender’s Game” during the 4-minute video.
On her Instagram, she captioned it as “Quarantine Stir Crazy.”
Other celebrities who shared like Andy Cohen after being tested positive on Instagram shared, “After a few days of self-quarantine, and not feeling great, I have tested positive for Coronavirus,” he captioned a solemn selfie. “As much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home, we’re putting a pin in that for now so I can focus on getting better.”
The keyboardist of Bon Jovi, David Bryan, announced, “I’ve been sick for a week and feeling better each day, please don’t be afraid!!! It’s the flu, not the plague. I’ve have been quarantined for a week and will for another week. And when I feel better, I’ll get tested again to make sure I’m free of this nasty virus. Please help out with each other. This will be over soon … with the help of every American!!”
Placido Domingo also wanted to tell people about his result. He said, “I beg everyone to be extremely careful, follow the basic guidelines by washing your hands frequently, keeping at least a 6 feet distance from others, doing everything you can to stop the virus from spreading and please above all stay home if you can,” he wrote. Together we can fight this virus and stop the current worldwide crisis, so we can hopefully return to our healthy daily lives very soon. Please follow your local government’s guidelines and regulations for staying safe and protecting not just yourselves but our entire community.”
Colton Underwood from the Bachelor shared a video and posted on his Instagram “I want to let you guys know: I’m 28, I consider myself pretty healthy, I work out regularly, I eat healthily, and I became symptomatic a few days ago, got my test results back today, and they are positive. I’m exhausted.”
Lost star, Daniel Kim, also announced his case, “Ready for a fight? I am. Yesterday I was diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus”.
