Shit's getting serious. I hope they don't die.

 

[DonJorginho]

Nah not Tom Hanks, why couldn't you go for a shit actor like Mark Wahlberg ffs

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Of all the Hollywood personalities, it's strange that Tom Hanks is the first to announce he has it. Out of nowhere.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

So Tom Hanks is living at GROUND ZERO right now, having a cold and some slight body aches.

 

[GHG]

This is exactly why I think this is bullshit.

Celebs get it, people trust celebs because the media narrative isn't taking effect.

I don't believe any of this corona virus shit.

Are you also a flat earther?

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Time for Hollywood to have some real problems to complain about.

They're just crisis actors.

Get better soon hoss

 

[Stiflers Mom]

We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too.

..doesn't exactly sound like they dying.

Chill, people.

Seems as it's easier to dismiss a point as conspiracy theory and shy away from a real discussion or understanding of someone elses view point, I'll break this down simple:

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, just a realist and maybe autist. For me, it has to make logical sense to make sense.

• The virus can't teleport. Can't hitch a ride on the airwaves, use cattle as transport or hide in money.
• Think of the chain of people from random Joe Schlub who is infect to Tom Hanks.
• Corona has to be transmitted through touch.
• How many people must have 'touched' for an infected person to give it to Tom Hanks?
• Why aren't any of those people infected?

That's all i'm saying. How did He get infected and no-one else?

Either;

1) They did, and the numbers are worse than what the media is reporting
2) They didn't get infected and the virus on attacks certain types of people (Blood group, age, acting ability?)
3) Tom Hanks is telling porking pies.

Had a similar effect to hearing about Kobe..... WHAT THE FUCK!!!! bummed me out

Not quite the same thing here.

OH NO THEY HAVE THE FLU!!!!!!!!

What will they ever do the poor things. Struck down like this by something that has infected billions of people over thousands of years.

My heart and prayers go out to them. No celebrity should ever suffer like this.

You seem like a stable and well adjusted individual.

Wonder if he will make a film about it?

It's not rocket science.
Think about how many people they likely interact with on a daily basis while shooting a movie or otherwise, and how many of them have travelled from all over the world.
They are celebrities - the studios have massive insurance policies on them - they have a slight cough they are getting seen by a doctor immediately and they will have the connections to fast track their testing and it will be instantly big news. Some guy on the set - no-one pays attention, likely doesn't see a doctor, if he does takes a while to get the results, and even if he does test positive it is just a statistic.

Isn’t there an OT for CV discussion?

 

[ipukespiders]

Isn’t there an OT for CV discussion?

Yeah, but everyone started posting their resumes in there, and it went to shit.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Just wanted to say "The Terminal" is a criminally underrated and often forgotten Hanks film.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

yeah. i don't think celebrities are godlike beings and they can just pay doctors to stop them from getting ill or dying. that doesn't work. science isn't that great. i'm sorry, i know people are convinced we are on the cusp of Rick and Morty style teleporters and cloning and brain uploading any day now, but there are limits to science. this is a new disease, and thus a celebrity's doctor will know as much about it as any other doctor. because it is brand new.

is the argument here that money can buy health? lol. that is a poor argument. it is false.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. you cannot buy your way out of this sinful life.

 

[Birdo]

If Hanks dies, we nuke China.

No the argument is that money puts you at the top of the queue for testing and that money and fame buys you both - exposure to lots of people from all over the world and - exposure such that a tweet saying you have coronavirus is headline news.

I think he’ll be ok. Other A-list actors have fully recovered from being in a Baz Luhrmann film.

 

[Rentahamster]

Yeah, but everyone started posting their resumes in there, and it went to shit.

Underappreciated joke.

 

[MorgLaw]

Oh no such a good actor! Hope it will be all good!

 

[godhandiscen]

I hope he continues talking about his symptoms. It will alleviate fears for a lot of people who are overly freaked out.

Yeah, people need to calm the fuck down already. Jeebus Crist.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

What an asshole. The guy is saying she is a fan and this dude who knows Hanks has a untreatable flu is like "dur if my daughter dur hur" fuck off. Man I don't even like celebs but holy fuck some people just revel in the misfortune of others.

Someone else already answered most of your points, but I just wanted to add that Coronavirus is airborne.
