Tom Hanks Opens Up On Surprising Details Of Coronavirus Treatment

One of the first cases in terms of being a public figure being diagnosed with coronavirus was that of actor Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson.

Fortunately, the couple are now fine but recently, talking with The Radio Defense Show, Hanks opened up further on the details of their diagnosis, treatment and other things.

He said, "Rita had a much tougher time than I did," Hanks told the program, which is dedicated to active duty military, veterans and their families. "She had a much higher fever. She had lost her sense of taste and sense of smell. I had some bad body aches and fatigue." 

Although they are both "fine" now, Hanks said the couple were "locked down" in an Australian hospital for three days so they could not spread the virus.

During that time, Hanks explained he baffled one doctor after trying to do some simple exercises that usually takes him around 30 minutes, but he was "wiped" after about 10 minutes. 

"She looked at me through her glasses like she was talking to the dumbest human being, and she said, [sternly] 'You have COVID-19.'" Hanks said he now realizes how silly he was being. 

Well, thank God he is all better now indeed.
