Rita Wilson?

I first thought that this was a publicity stunt. They're not really sick. Trudeau and Hanks only want to "raise awareness".

======

My second thought: These people love to be famous, shake hands. Maybe Sophie's really sick because she and Hanks love to be famous.

========

My third thought: I prefer anonymity.

Lots of celebs, "influencers", and athletes are using this opportunity to raise more than awareness...also raising their celebrity profiles.

Funny, but they never give shouts out on MyFace or Twitter when they get the herpes virus.

b_c, you make a very good point.

I think Somerset Maugham once said that: "Bob Jones knows more people than know Bob Jones."

More people know Tom Hanks than Tom Hanks knows.

You Americans (outside of New York) are foolish - you don't understand what is happening.

 

Oh, we understand alright...have lots more open land for graves than New York City.

I prefer to live in a different kind of society..

 

Yes.....what New Yorkers call "flyover country".

...and that may be our best defense (lower population density).

With your attitude, b_c, America will die.

Your Founders never thought that way - they were positive-sum thinkers.

Seriously...you are expecting total capitulation because of my "attitude" ?

Please revisit 1918...Spanish Flu.

Of course...that's what makes us Americans.    We didn't flee to Europe.

So, you are prepared to die --- for what, stupidity?

=====

Your founders wisely chose individual liberty.

This is an obvious case, like smallpox, where individual liberty leads to death.

My "founders" were happy to have my relatives die on slave ships.

You don't have to like our choices...but they are OUR choices.

There is a reason why Europeans fled to America - to avoid the plague!

Americans don't flee...and didn't want to go back to Europe for their world wars.
