Why do I feel like saying those words because I am in absolute shock at what I just read today. Tom Hanks and his wife are in Australia. They felt ill and both got checked out. They have both been tested positive for the novel coronavirus. I am totally speechless I just don’t know why. Perhaps for some reason, I figured that celebrities would find a way to remain immune. They certainly are the same as everyone else and I sure am sorry to hear this.

Virus does not differentiate between celebrities and normal people

As far as the story goes they'll be isolated in Australia but then again why did they travel in the first place @thelme55

@thelme55 it is best to cancel any kind of travel. We are even avoiding movie halls and malls for some time.

I saw a headline on FB, but hadn't realized they were in Australia. I am sad that they tested positive, and I hope they have a speedy recovery from this. At the same time, I am glad they were open about this and did not try to conceal it . . . I noticed some politicians were open about it as well. Yep - no one is immune!

Oh that is indeed shocking! Well anybody who has had traveled internationally in the past few months is susceptible to this virus. I read that one of the ministers in UK too got this virus.

If celebrities can catch this virus how much more ordinary people. We should all be careful now

He and his wife travel a lot and probably have been around a whole lot of fans all over the world any of whom could easily have been infected. Sure, it's a shame, but it's those people who do the traveling who have brought this into our country.

I didn't realize they were in Australia. They will be stuck there for a while. They are definitely as susceptible as anyone else!

I see that he was here in Australia to make a movie on the life of Elvis Presley. Celebrities, if they stay in the limelight, might be more exposed to this virus than us ordinary people are.

If it is very unfortunate both for them and for all those who have lost their lives and those who are struggling, tom is my favorite actor and I sincerely hope I can get out of this unscathed.
