How about a bit of good news? Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, have reportedly been released from the hospital after being diagnosed with the new coronavirus last week.

The couple, both 63, were in Australia when they started getting body aches and low fevers; Hanks was set to film a movie about Elvis Presley in the country, although production has since been suspended. Hanks and Wilson are "still self-quarantined obviously, but they're feeling a lot better so that's a relief," their son, Chet Hanks, said.
