Tom Hanks says he feels the “blahs” but has no fever as he and wife Rita Wilson remain in isolation in an Australian residence, after being discharged from a hospital following their coronavirus diagnosis.
A representative for the Oscar winner confirmed on Tuesday that the pair were no longer hospitalised. Hanks himself said he was doing chores and getting beaten at cards by his wife as they remain self-quarantined.
“Hey folks. Good news: One week after testing positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: my wife has won six straight hands of gin rummy and now leads by 201 points,” he posted on social media on Tuesday evening.
Instead of a photo of himself or his wife, the post showed an old Corona typewriter that he travelled with “that I used to love”. The actor is pursuing a side career as a writer, publishing his debut short-story collection in 2017. “We are all in this together. Flatten the curve,” he added.
Hanks also referred to social media flurry that greeted a picture of toast spread with Vegemite that he posted a few days earlier. After fellow users pointed out he may have used too much, he wrote: “I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick.”
The couple arrived in Australia in late January on the Gold Coast, where an Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann was to be shot. Hanks plays Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The film, slated for release in October 2021, has suspended production, Warner Bros said. Wilson, a singer-songwriter, has performed in Brisbane and Sydney during the couple’s stay in Australia.

Hanks said “No fever but the blahs... “ which is EXACTLY how I felt after wasting $7 bucks on JOE AND THE VOLCANO way back when.
So?
Looks to me like he’s playing his “part” in all this....wonder who the Producer is...
The “blahs”
Well if that’s NOT a reason to shut down and destroy our economy and spread fear and terror everywhere, i don’t know what is.
What a joke of a virus.
If EVERY person that has had this thing was in the denominator, the mortality rate would be less than the flu.
Let’s destroy the country because of a bad cold.
Why does anyone...or should anyone...care?
That’s the only thing I thought he was consistently funny in! Probably due to the writing.
You never heard the hit song from Men at Work in the 80s -- over and over and over again?
"I said do you speak my language?
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwhich"
can’t we put ‘em in a fishbowl for observation like in Slaughter House 5?
Looking at this pic gives me an idea! In 2024, Trump runs again as...
Its a bit silly, but its also important for public moral
Tom Hanks is extremely well-known, and liked
The process of showing he got a mild flu, and is recovering easily, will help to remove a lot of fear from people.
