Idris Elba is the latest celebrity to announce he’s tested positive for coronavirus.

On Monday, the 47-year-old “Luther” star took to social media to reveal the news.

“This morning I tested positive for Covid 19,” he captioned a video of himself and his wife Sabrina Dhowre, 30. “I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus. Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing. No panic.”

Oh they can get it. But the effects on them dont seem to be very severe compared to other ethnic groups.

So Stringer Bell from The Wire has coronavirus? Now it’s an issue. I wish him a full recovery. Hopefully as more people who are in the public eye come down with this virus (and many will), people will be able to see them recover and perhaps this will contribute to people starting to relax a bit. We all need to be cautious and vigilant, but the panic is not helpful. Coronavirus is not an automatic death sentence as is being portrayed.

It is going to be the latest fad celebrity thing, whether they really test positive or not.

...I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus

If he had no symptoms, why get checked, oh yes, what is the false positive/false negative statistics on the assay?

He was one of my favorite actors.

Virus chic.
All the cool actors are getting it?
Actually, actors probably live risky lifestyle in more ways than one.

HE should have been the actor tapped to play The Doctor after Peter Capaldi left. Elba has AMAZING presence. Instead the BBC went woke and made The Doctor a woman and the franchise has gone down the sh-tter since.

I like this guy. He’s a good actor.

Yeah, he is. But why anyone cares about what disease some supposed celebrity has is beyond me.

Besides being great in Luther he was named People's Sexiest Man alive for 2018.

Probably doesn't mean much since he was followed by John Legend in 2019.

The in-Crowd and Jet-Setters seem to be the main vectors for the Wuhan-Flu here in the USA. It’s like it has become a sought after symbol of “Aflueinca”.
