Ok, so as you probably know by now, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for Coronavirus while on vacation in Australia.
Hanks released the following statement on his Instagram Wednesday night:
Soon to be followed by his son, Chet, releasing the following statement. (Yes, this is real.)

Anyway, the Internet pretty much reacted as you’d expect given that Hanks (or Hanx) is a national treasure:

Ok, now, being fully aware that Coronavirus is very serious and we all should be doing our part to save the lives of millions at risk, it’s my job to find fun and funny stuff about even a serious situation, and that’s what I did. I went out and found all the funniest, and borderline inappropriate jokes/memes/tweets about Tom Hanks having COVID-19.
I feel like even T. Hanks himself would approve.

Tom Hanks should just look in the mirror and heartfelt speech the shit outta the coronavirus.
