Tom Hanks might be in quarantine in Australia with his wife Rita Wilson after being diagnosed with coronavirus - but he's remaining upbeat by quoting a line from one of his famous roles. In an Instagram post, Hanks wrote: 'Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us.''We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness.The two-time Academy Award winner said he and his wife, both 63, 'are taking it one-day-at-a-time' amid the global health pandemic.

How come only the famous get tested for the virus? I thought there were not enough testing kits. Are all the numbers bogus?

Why are these people with the virus any more newsworthy than John Doe who likes in the next block?? It was big BREAKING NEWS a day or two ago. So what? I don't need an update on you, Hanks, thirty times a day.

I don't want anyone to get this, not Hollywood denizens, not prisoners, not illegals, not even leftists.
Good luck and godspeed to Tom Hanks and the wife.

So, these are the self-proclaimed faces of Coronavirus? How about the old man bleeding out on the streets of New Delhi? I really don't care how the Rich and Famous, with every medical treatment, including a personal physician at their beck and call are faring.
Not to worry, I guess. They will quickly get knocked off the front page when the virus wipes out the homeless street people of L.A..

Australia and their healthcare system operates differently from American healthcare. That could be why Hanks and Wilson got tested. Plus they were showing obvious signs of the illness as well.

From the article. "In an accompanying shot, Tom wore a sage green cap with a grey shirt, while Rita wore a grey mesh cap with a pink top." Give me a break.

Ultra liberal Hollywood icon Tom Hanks has been exposed to the Covid-19 virus? As he is not 80ish nor compromised physically, I will leave it at that.

It's not all bad. If such a public figure who is a 63 year old guy with Diabetes can recover with minimal effect, lots of people are going to start saying "Hmmmmm...." That is good!!
I to don't want anyone to get this illness. Prayers for Tom and Rita and a speedy recovery.

No hourly bulletins? No death watch? My goodness, if Tom and Rita can catch this...well, shouldn't everyone?

Is a dopey line from one of his movies (that isn't even on point) the best he can come up with? I remember laughing at one of his Academy Awards acceptance speeches that was stupid beyond words, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Be honest. Would some of you be making the same comment if Jon Voight had the virus? I would hope we don’t act like the far left who wouldn’t care if a conservative got this virus. I’m with the posters who wish the Hanks good health and a recovery.

Australian parents: please make sure to keep your kids away from Mr. Hanks; he is a danger to them and not because of this virus,
That being said I hope he and his wife recover soon. May the next time he is "quarantined" be for life or a very, very long time.

#17 has a point but it isn’t so much that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are being criticized as the silly, vapid media with their juvenile “Celebrities! They’re just like us!” approach. “Tom Hanks! He gets sick sometimes, too! Just like you and me!” “Rita Wilson! Sometimes even she gets acne!” But the Hanks’ must have invited someone to their room to take their pictures and to quote their valiant stand for posterity. I’m waiting for Jennifer Lopez to get in on the act. That woman must have a publicity staff of thousands. She’s somewhere in every single celebrity magazine in every single issue.
