Jeff Shell, NBCUniversal’s recently appointed CEO, has tested positive for coronavirus, Variety has confirmed.
In a memo to staff, Shell said he was diagnosed with the virus despite being asymptomatic. He told employees that he will self-quarantine and work from home indefinitely while he recovers.
“I recently have been feeling under the weather and just learned that I have tested positive for Covid-19,” Shell wrote. “Although the virus has been tough to cope with, I have managed to work remotely in LA and am improving every day.”
Starting last week, NBCUniversal employees had already been directed to work from home in an effort to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
“Many of you, like me, are working from home while trying to balance family commitments and other challenges, and I know this isn’t easy,” Shell said. “But for those of you who can do your jobs from home, it is absolutely critical that you do so.”
NBCUniversal’s entire business has been grappling with coronavirus. Most film and TV operations have been suspended, theme parks are temporarily shuttered, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been postponed and late-night shows are attempting to operate remotely.
Except, is he speeding dialing his doc for Trump's drug?
“All the cool kids are getting it.”
Why? He doesn’t even have any symptoms.
Which is it?
why was he tested if he is asymptomatic?
How did he know to get tested? I don’t get it when these people say they are positive but have no symptoms.
So, when will NBC replace him since we all know this virus kills everyone. /s
It is becoming something of a status symbol, isn’t it?
Another follywoodster jumping in so they can be ‘cool’. Like grrrreta and her dad “extremely likely we had it.”.
In order to promote this lie/hoax, the celebrities have been asked to participate. Just like global warming.
You’ll notice that there are few if any high profile Trump people that have it.
Gee, what a coincidence...
In NYC, trust me, soon we’ll see frightful pictures (staged) of sick and dying. The numbers will appear frightful. They of course will be including any person that died for any reason in their stats.
I theorize asymptomatic means the BIG 3 type of symptoms- fever, cough, breathing
But anecdotal evidence is showing this virus is wacky and there are variety of symptoms...such as back pain but no fever type of thing
Some people are testing family members every day for their sense of smell as this can be one symptom
Digestive symptoms can also be a first sign.
It can present itself in so many different ways in the beginning...and then one day BAM....or you may get lucky while playing Wuhan Roulette and never have much of anything at all.
I’m a star belly sneetch!
They will all be on The View once this is over, reliving their horrible quarantine on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and then basically say that surviving this thing puts them on par with a soldier.
I don't begrudge anyone's wealth or any of that stuff. But seriously, we are all equal in the eyes of our Lord, but at this moment the people driving truck and working at grocery stores and drug stores are more "important" than you or your diagnosis, dude.
Remember when people kept their own personal business personal?
I wonder if he’ll be able to get HCQ/Z-Pack?
That made no sense. If you’re feeling “under the weather,” you are not asymptomatic. That’s a symptom.
He has affluenza.
He had symptoms (not feeling well consisting of what??? fatigue, back pain, gastro issues, etc..) so he claims...Asymptomatic does not really always mean asymptomatic as this has been unfolding.
Attention-seeking behavior.
We should start calling the HCQ/Z-Pack combination, TRUMPICILLIN.
