First it was Tom Hanks; now it’s Idris Elba. Why is this virus intent on infecting our most cherished celebrities? WHY?

In a video posted to Twitter, Elba explained that though he wasn’t showing any symptoms, he got tested because he realized he had been exposed to someone who tested positive.

“This is serious. Now’s the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands,” he says. “Look, we live in a divided world right now, we can all feel it. It’s been bullshit. But now is the time for solidarity, now is the time for thinking about each other.”

Rest up and get better, Idris. And you’re right, this IS bullshit.

Why? you ask. Why not!


  • Saturday Night Live is suspended for three weeks. [THR]
