Rita Wilson Jokes about Coronavirus Amid Her and Tom Hanks' Diagnosis

Rita Wilson finds humor even in the Coronavirus crisis. She cracked up fans with a joke despite her and husband Tom Hanks' diagnosis.

On Twitter, the actress made a joke about the global virus threat, in an attempt to lighten up the situation. Her fans were both relieved that the couple appears to be fine and also amused.

"From here on out, the only Corona I want is from Mexico and you drink it," she tweeted. The actress has close to half a million followers on Twitter.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Another fan chimed in and expressed a hopeful return of their normal health soon. Aside from that, the Twitter account of the Mexican beer company mentioned by Wilson offered "digital escapism" for the couple.

Wilson's tweet came after Hanks informed the public that they tested positive for Covid-19 in Australia. The couple is currently in isolation to prevent the spread of disease.

"QUARANTUNES"

Along with Wilson's sense of humor, she also created a quarantine Spotify. She asked her followers a unique name for it, but she finally settled into one creative word, as reported by Pop Culture.
