Tom Hanks has 'the blahs' as he and Rita Wilson recover from Coronavirus
The Guardian ^ | 03/18/2020

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.

All righty then … as long as he doesn’t have a ‘brain cloud’.

Those are the worst, I hear.

Ha ha! True! When writing that, I realized how many great roles he’s actually had. Loved BEAUTIFUL DAY. However, nothing beats David S. Pumpkins!

“So let it rock, let it roll.
Let the Bible belt come & save our souls.
Hang onto 16 as long as you can
Changes come ‘round real soon
Make us women & men.”

Mellencamp had some good albums.

It actually matters because we might not have to have the world shut down until August.

Dunno, he says that he was tested by medical officials in Australia and came up positive. If it was all a lie, it seems like they’d be saying something.

No joke. Being all jovial, it’s obvious that he hasn’t tried that crap. I’ve heard that even the smell is enough to put you off the rest of your food.

A shot of adrenochrome should perk him right up!

This confirms how bad we’ve been rick-rolled. I’m sure the libs in congress will still want to put Trump on impeachment trial on 400 counts of murder. Of course they’re forgetting why that would never fly: Vietnam.

Why in the world is an Elvis bio being filmed in Australia? AFAIK he was never in Australia. The Gold Coast is beaches and all so I suppose it’s substituting for some American locale. Little bit of trivia. Elvis never performed in public outiside the US except for a few concerts in Canada in 1957. Something to do with Parker not being able to travel outside the US. Before he died Japan offered a boatload of money but Elvis never took their offer.
