EXCLUSIVE: We have just received word that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have tested positive for the coronavirus. Both have been down in Australia for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros. The two-time Oscar winner Hanks is set to play Presley’s longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker in the project.

Warner Bros. was notified that someone in the production had been diagnosed with coronavirus, the studio said in a statement to Deadline, adding that the person is receiving treatment and that “we are working closely with the appropriate Australian health agencies to identify and contact anyone who may have come in direct contact with the individual.”

Deadline received a statement directly from Hanks:

“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.

Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. 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!”

– Tom Hanks

One of the Utah Jazz basketball players tested positive, too.
One reason, they shutting basketball down.
Doesn't take a brainiac to figure out the other reasons...

eta: Now, Nat'l Hockey League shutting it down, too.

UPS driver just dropped off a package of coffee for Mom.....

Hope he didn't expose us to the virus! Otherwise, I haven't been outside my holler for over a week. I'm not so possessed to relish human company anyway. I did have a VA appointment scheduled for this week, but I called and postponed that yesterday citing my good physical health and the desire to NOT be exposed in the "hospital" environment at the VA. I'm certain they have it there.....

I don't want or need it in my life Stay safe all my friends out there!

I read that within one year 70% of the world will have contracted this virus. Not much sense in worrying about it, you are probably going to get it. Hopefully it will be a weak case. Only one in six will need any medical help. Some won't even know they had it. So far no young people have got this. Here in Montana we had 13,576 reported flu cases (2018-2019 season) and 38 deaths. So far 0 cases of this virus. Everybody running around like they are going to die tomorrow. Compare that to 185 highway deaths, and over 1000 deaths due to heart attacks and strokes.

Projections and probabilities only mean something till you get sick, then they don't mean jack. Do you think the 1 out of 4 people you know who contracts Cancer think the statistics mean anything? Don't be comforted by invisible numbers. Be Smart, Take Precautions, Stay Safe.

I found an excellent article, for the indestructible young folks, who think this isn't anything to be concerned about.
Even young ppl, can have underlying health issues, that they may not be aware of, until too late.

Ol Kentucky, I used to have a friend would say all the time:
"It don't matter what the odds are, when you're that one".

Title of the article:
Young and unafraid of the pandemic? Good for you.
Now stop killing people!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/vo...op-killing-people/ar-BB113BXB?ocid=spartanntp

The fact that ppl can carry this virus and be extremely infectious, 2 weeks
before they show any symptoms or become sick, and could easily infect
their loved ones, should give folks something to think about, imho.

Great article.

Well sure, take precautions but worrying will not help. If you are old and have lung/health issues better write your will because chances are you will get it and some will not survive. But be more careful when walking across the street or driving a vehicle.

World Health Organization says 80% of cases will only experience mild symptoms.

It's going to tire us all out long before we get sick from it or anything else.

I’ve been watching closely at what is happening in Europe. We are 3-6 weeks behind if things stay on trajectory.

Tom Hanks and his Wife having it...probably due to jet setting around the world and socializing with people that do the same. Pretty high risk compared to the rest of us that live our boring lives.

In my opinion, the real risk is dealing with the likely effects...shortages...increased prices....restricted travel in areas with little supply chain....political impacts...social impacts...mental impacts...short term impacts to investments.

RIGHT!!!!!
Me & the neighbor were just commenting over the fence,
"I'm so tired of shopping, I been to the store every day this week"!

If we hadn't have started planning/stocking up for this, 2 weeks ago,
we'd be standing in lines at the store, hours long!
It's a MAD HOUSE in S. Fl., for those that weren't ahead of this mess!
Past hurricane preparedness, has taught some of us, well.

Deep, looks like that info I sent you,
may come down sooner, than expected!
Be ready folks, get your house in order. js…
