You can take the NBA from us, you can reschedule festivals, but don’t you dare touch Tom Hanks you bastards.
Tom confirmed this evening that both he and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for Coronavirus. He released the following statement on Twitter.
“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers, too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive.”

Feels like we’re living in a damn apocalypse right now.
Speedy recovery, Tom Hanks!

However, in light of Tom’ unique set of skills, folks are confident that both he and Rita will make a speedy recovery.
Tom Hanks survived an oxygen tank failure in deep space, being stranded in JFK airport for 9 months during a political coup and a flock of birds disabling his plane's engines at 2,800ft. He's got this.

If Tom Hanks can survive on an island alone, a ship hijacked by Somali pirates, and Normandy, then he can get through the corona virus 🙏🏻

Tom Hanks will not only overcome the #COVID2019 he will help cure it. Because he’s Tom Hanks.

I truly believe if Tom Hanks’ fictional character can get through the heart break of losing Wilson, he can beat Coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/Xn91R9mHbj
