Roommates, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were among some of the first celebrities to announce they tested positive for the coronavirus. Now, they want to help in any way they can to fight the disease.
According to CNN, after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and recovering gracefully, Tom and Rita say they are willing to donate their blood to research because their blood now carries coronavirus antibodies.
“We have not only been approached, we have said, ‘Do you want our blood? Can we give plasma?'” Tom said during a podcast on NPR.”And in fact, we will be giving it now to the places that hope to work on what I would like to call the ‘Hank-ccine'”.
As we previously reported, Tom and Rita tested positive for COVID-19 while away in Australia, and self-quarantined for about two weeks before they returned to the states. The two have recovered well after feeling body aches and slight fevers.
