Idris Elba took some time to send an update on how he and his wife are coping with their coronavirus quarantine. The two revealed that they had tested positive for COVID-19 last week and there was an immediate outpouring of love from fans all over the world. With similar statements and videos from Tom Hanks and numerous other celebrities, it marked a moment of the United States starting to realize how widespread the coronavirus really is. At any rate, the superstar is doing just fine and hasn’t felt any change, but he’s staying inside and staying safe.

“Hoping everyone is coping with this $@@!! Currently still quarantine.. Sab and I still feel ok so far with no changes,” Elba explained. “Dr told us that after quarantine we will be immune for a certain time since our antibodies fought this.”

His initial response was just as candid and positive. Many people have enjoyed being able to speak with him on social media during this period we are all inside trying to maintain distance. There have been some detractors and people arguing that this is all too much. But, for the accomplished actor, better to be safe than be sorry.
