Tom Hanks and Rita shared an update. They’re still upbeat and thankfully don’t appear too sick. They aren’t on respirators.
I’ve read they had the virus for several days before it was diagnosed. Rita had performed a couple concerts in Australia and been on a morning talk show. Tom had taken selfies with fans. They came into contact with quite a few people.
