They are the first famous couple to suffer from the new corona virus: Tom Hanks (63) and Rita Wilson (63). A good month after her Covid-19 infection, actress Wilson spoke about her and her husband’s complaints.
It was very painful and uncomfortable, Wilson said on Tuesday’s US show “CBS This Morning.” He had a high fever and chills “like never before.” Her husband’s symptoms were milder. Her fever had not risen as much and she had not lost her sense of taste and smell.
What Wilson Says About the Malaria Drug
To lower the fever, they received the active ingredient chloroquine. Her temperature dropped after that, but she didn’t know if it really was the drug, Wilson said. He complained about the “extreme” side effects of the treatment, such as nausea, dizziness, and muscle weakness. You must be very careful with this remedy, he warned.
Background: The active ingredient chloroquine used against malaria is currently being investigated in clinical studies for its efficacy against Covid-19 lung disease. In the United States, President Donald Trump (73) calls for a quick solution, but his experts advise against taking it.
The Oscar Hanks winner was filming in Australia in March when he and Wilson were diagnosed with a coronavirus infection. First from a hospital in Australia and after self-isolation at home, the couple reported multiple times with updates on their condition. Wilson assumes they are now immune to the Sars-CoV-2 pathogen. Both would have donated blood for research purposes. (nim / SDA)
