Tom Hanks shares update now that he and wife, Rita Wilson returned home after Coronavirus diagnosis

Tom Hanks has shared an update now that he and wife Rita Wilson returned home safe and sound after their coronavirus diagnoses and quarantine in Australia.

"Hey, Folks... We're home now and, like the rest of America, we carry on with sheltering in place and social distancing," Hanks said on Twitter on Saturday. "Many, many thanks to everyone in Australia who looked after us. Their care and guidance made possible our return to the USA. And many thanks to all of you who reached out with well wishes. Rita and I so appreciate it."

The married couple were recently photographed driving in L.A. two weeks after they were both diagnosed with COVID-19. "Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better," Hanks said. "Sheltering in place works like this: You don't give it to anyone — You don't get it from anyone. Common sense, no? Going to take awhile, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts...this, too, shall pass. We can figure this out."

Back on March 11, Hanks announced that he and Wilson had contracted the novel coronavirus while in Australia for pre-production on Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley film, in which Hanks is set to play Presley’s longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker. Filming for the movie has been halted following Hanks’ diagnosis. The actor is the only person on set believed to have tested positive for the virus, according to a representative from the film in Australia.

“ I question if any of these celebrities really have it.”

This was five days ago. What are they doing now? Aren’t they going to make some more at home videos?

Well, he’s already survived the disease.
He shouldn’t be contagious but he’s lounging around the house “quarantining” instead of getting back to work.

I’m gonna suggest that he’s still a lib.

I still question if Tom Hanks even has the virus. I see Rita, his wife, is using all this new attention to relaunch her singing career.

Yes, Tom Hanks simply can’t get any work unless he does something like this for attention.

Anyone keeping a running total of celebs with C-Virus?
Seems like it must be a couple dozen?

He’ll be considered some sort of hero from now on.
Flew home on a private jet no doubt, oh well, at least that way they didn’t infect others.

I don’t think it’s comprehensive though. Many who contracted the virus never show symptoms and don’t get tested.

Look for other “Celebrities” to come down with it.
I’d bet even money that there was a secret meeting with the elite in LA or NYC in the last month to find a way to blame Trump and someone infected was there.

Tom Hanks might have been a key player in how things spread in NYC.
