Leto goes from isolation to astonishing isolation
Jared Leto says he just emerged from the desert to find a world transformed.
“Wow. 12 days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert, the “Suicide Squad” and “Dallas Buyers Club” actor said on Twitter. “We were totally isolated, No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility.”
Leto says he was stunned to find much of the world shut down and sheltering over the new coronavirus pandemic, which had not yet had such vast impact on life in the U.S. when he left.
Hanks says he has the ‘blahs’ but no fever in isolation
Tom Hanks says he feels the “blahs” but has no fever as he and wife Rita Wilson remain in isolation in an Australian residence after being discharged from a hospital following their coronavirus diagnosis.
In his update, Hanks says he’s doing chores and getting beaten by his wife in cards as they remain self-quarantined.
“Hey folks. Good news: One week after testing positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: my wife has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and now leads by 201 points,” he posted on social media Tuesday evening.
