Guest Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson says he and his family had all contracted Covid-19. The former wrestler, who is now the world's highest-paid actor, said he, his wife and two daughters caught the virus despite being "disciplined" about health protection. He said the positive tests were "a kick in the gut". Now, he added: "We're on the other end of it and no longer contagious. Thank God, we're healthy." The actor, 48, said he and his wife Lauren, 35, and their daughters Jasmine and Tiana, aged four and two, contracted the virus about two-and-a-half weeks ago. The American-Canadian actor said his daughters had exhibited mild symptoms, explaining they "had a sore throat for the first couple of days, but other than that they bounced back and it's been life as normal". "But it was a little bit different for Lauren and I," Johnson said. He said he and his wife "had a rough go" - without detailing his exact symptoms - but together they "got through it as a family". Johnson said they caught the virus from "very close family friends" who, in turn, had no idea how they had been infected. He suggested several ways his fans could mitigate the risks of coronavirus, including leading a healthy lifestyle and wearing a face mask. "It baffles me that some people out there, including some politicians, will take this idea of wearing masks and make it part of a political agenda," Johnson said. "It has nothing to do with politics. Wear your mask. It is a fact. And it is the right thing to do." President Donald Trump, and other conservative politicians in the US, have been criticised for downplaying the need to wear masks and politicising the idea. source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54008181 Glad to hear his family are okay I myself getting sick and suspecting I might have the virus Stay safe out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,775 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Good to hear he's okay and hopefully he didn't infect others. Stay safe everyone! If you're meeting friends or family in your 'bubble', do so outside and keep some distance!! It might seem like most people are stupid, but there's a huge, mostly silent majority that takes this virus seriously. Most of us are part of it, but if this huge majority becomes smaller (e.g. because media and politicians say that the virus is 'almost over'), it gets easier for the virus to spread.

Stone S 1,133 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I appreciate his statement about the mask. Wearing a mask is only beneficial to yourself and others. Idk why it’s such a debate Welcome to Industria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most universities were asked to do blended learning (so come to the campus twice a week and the rest is at home, or something like that) but my course is being run by an external company as well as the uni... and the company aren't doing blended learning unless there is a significant increase in cases again End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you it's not easy to get through this but take care of yourself. You'll get better soon And to the people who still believe Covid is nothing, well I lost my grandmother because of it so it isn't too late to quarantine. Love it when you call me legs, in the morning buy me eggs 🥚 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
