The Hanks, Something different but virus related..

Congratulation to Tom and Sara Hanks for their speedy recovery from the virus..
Also to the Australian medical system for the quick detection and isolation.

BUT I have questions??
I know,, you're going to say TMI for a VFOG with to much spare time.
I am in ISOLATION, Dah
I am still curious??

Timeline:

1) On the 12th of March Tom and Sara Hanks announce on twitter they had tested positive for the virus while in AUSTRALIA filming a movie. ONE other person on the set also tested positive, name unknown.

2) In the early stages of the pandemic, it took about 4 days to receive test results, but it is getting much faster as the protocol process is improving

3) On the 8th of March, four(4) days prior, Australia recorded a total of 78 cases of Corona-V, out of a population of 24,6000,000 (c charts)

How did they do it?? How did a movie star become one of the first 100 people to TESTED POSITIVE and RECOVERED in Australia??

ref: The charts are from the Australia Wikipedia Page show the recorded cases: 2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Australia

Granted,
maybe their test only took 8hrs,
maybe the numbers are off by a factor of 10x,
maybe the Hanks are super sensitive to viral infections but not the results
or maybe the Hanks are so healthy that virus's just rolled off their Cadillac.


It always amazes me that people in the spotlight tend to remain in the spotlight!!


A curious VFOG..

Could be some luck involved here, aren't 80% of the folks that have the virus deemed to only suffer minor effects? As of right now 135,000 plus cases and 2385 deaths. Thank God it is not killing all of us.
