The COVID-19 outbreak all over the world, is the only thing that we read, hear and preach right now. In a matter of few weeks, the coronavirus scare turned into a legit pandemic. One of the first ones to get affected by this deadly but curable disease was Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. Although Tom has now been released from the Australian hospital, where the couple was taking treatment, his wife is still under treatment. The Oscar-winner recently shared a post from his self-isolation zone where he revealed how he is dealing with this period. His good ol' typewriter came to the rescue. Tom Hanks under Quarantine Is Beating Coronavirus with Vegemite: Here's Everything You Need To Know About the Australian Delicacy.

In his recent social media post, he shared the picture of typewriter and attached a note on his health update. He wrote, "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. But I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick. I travelled here with a typewriter, one I used to love. We are all in this together. Flatten the curve. Hanx." Check out the picture below.
