Melbourne: Hollywood star Tom Hanks on Wednesday said he and his wife, actor Rita Wilson don’t have fever but feel the “blahs” since their discharge from an Australian hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The actors, both 63, checked out of a Gold Coast medical facility on Tuesday after spending a week in self-isolation.
Hanks took to Instagram to give an update, his first, after their release from the hospital.
“Hey folks. Good News: One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs,” he said.
The Captain Phillips star wrote how he and Wilson were spending their time under selfquarantine.
“Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch.
“Bad news: My wife @ritawilson has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and leads by 201 points. But I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick,” he said.
Sharing a picture of a corona typewriter, he quipped, “I travelled here with a typewriter, one I used to love.”
“We are all in this together. Flatten the curve. Hanx,” he added.
Wilson, also a singersongwriter, shared a video of her singing her song Broken Man while recovering from COVID19.
“Broken Man by Rita Wilson. Written with Gary Burr. People aren’t perfect. Gotta love them flaws and all,” she captioned the four minutelong video.
