Idris Elba tests positive for coronavirus

"This morning I tested positive for Covid 19," he wrote. "I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus.
"Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing No panic," Elba, 47, added.

MUST BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO BE TESTED, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO SYMPTOMS!

4th of 5th posting on this. Why? Things are more important than a minor celebrity being positive. Where's the stories on homeless, immigrants and nursing home residents?

...because I have a friend who may have the virus, but he is lacking ONE symptom, so he's being told he can't be tested.
But a celebrity, (I don't even know who he is, as I don't watch TV), can have NO SYMPTOMS and because he was around some people who had the virus, and because WHO HE IS, he can get a test!
