Betty White's representative reassures fans she's 'fine' amid coronavirus outbreak
Betty White fans can breathe a sigh of relief — the Hollywood icon has not been affected by coronavirus.
Everyone's favorite golden girl is 98 years old, and in the panic that ensued on Wednesday night after Tom Hanks revealed he has coronavirus, Twitter users immediately began fretting about White. "Someone get Betty White into her own quarantine," one said. "We can't lose her."
The worrying was all for naught, as White's representative told Today on Thursday that "Betty is fine." That's good to know, but still, someone put this woman in a bubble.
