<p>When award-winning actor Tom Hanks announced his Covid-19 diagnosis last year on March, many Americans were still learning about the virus and its severity. However, Hanks` social media posts shaped people`s behaviour toward the virus, a new study suggests.<br />
<br />
The researchers, including Jessica Gall Myrick from the Pennsylvania State University in the US, surveyed around 700 people about their attitudes and behaviours toward the virus the day after Hanks posted the news on social media on March 11, 2020.<br />
<br />
Just under 90 per cent of the people surveyed had heard about Hanks` social media posts saying he contracted the virus, and approximately half of that group reported it changed their attitudes and behaviours.<br />
<br />
"There is a growing body of research about how celebrity behaviour and social media posts can affect public health," Myrick said in the study published in the journal Health Communication.<br />
<br />
"Celebrities can have a huge reach, often more so than typical scientists or doctors or the health department. If they are encouraging positive health behaviour change, then it can serve as a de facto public health intervention," Myrick added.<br />
<br />
According to the study, the people who had heard the news reported Hanks` diagnosis "highlighted the reality of Covid-19" and broadened their understanding of not only the severity of the situation but also their susceptibility to the illness.<br />
<br />
Nearly half of the participants who had heard the news when surveyed reported a range of emotional responses, according to the study.<br />
<br />
Responses included "surprise, fear, anger, sadness and hope."<br />
<br />
The respondents who reported making changes said Hanks` disclosure inspired them to seek more information and/or take stricter precautions.<br />
<br />
The half of respondents who heard the news and said Hanks` diagnosis did not change their thoughts or behaviours reported thinking the actor would recover from the illness.<br />
<br />
They also noted they were already aware of Covid-19 and its effects and did not think Hanks` announcement changed their outlook or intentions regarding the virus.<br />
<br />
The researchers conducted a statistical analysis to see if and what characteristics could predict whether people`s attitudes and behaviours changed after learning Hanks` diagnosis.<br />
<br />
The results indicated that people who identified with Hanks or said they knew him were more likely to change their thoughts or Covid-related behaviours due to the announcement.<br />

<p>This is not the first time that the actor has donated his plasma. Last month too he had shared a similar photo- when he had donated plasma for the first time.<br />
<br />
Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson were one of the early celebrities to have openly announced that they had contracted the disease while they were in Australia in March.<br />
<br />
Later, Hanks said in an interview that the couple hoped their plasma could be beneficial in Covid-19 treatment research.<br />
The couple had also opened up about their symptoms and how they both responded differently to the illness. "Rita went through a tougher time than I did," Hanks had said about their experiences with the illness.<br />
<br />
"She had a much higher fever and she had some other symptoms. She lost her sense of taste and smell. She got absolutely no joy from food for a better part of three weeks ... She was so nauseous she had to crawl on the floor from the bed to the facilities."<br />
<br />
Wilson spoke about the terrible symptoms including fever and chills she experienced as a result. "I felt extremely achy, uncomfortable, didn't want to be touched, and then the fever started."</p>

Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson were one of the early celebrities to have openly announced that they had contracted the disease while they were in Australia in March. Later, Hanks said in an interview that the couple hoped their plasma could be beneficial in Covid-19 treatment research. The couple had also opened up about their symptoms and how they both responded differently to the illness. "Rita went through a tougher time than I did," Hanks had said about their experiences with the illness. "She had a much higher fever and she had some other symptoms. She lost her sense of taste and smell. She got absolutely no joy from food for a better part of three weeks ... She was so nauseous she had to crawl on the floor from the bed to the facilities." Wilson spoke about the terrible symptoms including fever and chills she experienced as a result. "I felt extremely achy, uncomfortable, didn't want to be touched, and then the fever started."

<p>“I’m here to say congratulations,” Tom started and said, “Congratulations to you chosen ones…and I am calling you ‘the chosen ones’ because you have been chosen in many ways.

<p>He continued, “There is something about you, all of you — in your upbringing and your background and your conscious memories and your ongoing mysteries — something that has driven you to complete your courses and achieve your selected challenges across the rubicon of your time there, your studies at Wright State. You succeeded because of the aid and the love of others that are in your lives, without a doubt. But you have succeeded mostly because you, and you alone, chose to do so.

After wife Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks opens up about his coronavirus symptoms

<p>Tom Hanks is now much better, after being released from the hospital where he was treated for COVID-19. He, along with his wife Rita Wilson, are now in quarantine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a post on Twitter, Tom wrote, “Hey, folks. Two weeks after our symptoms and we feel better. Sheltering in place works like this: You don’t give it to anyone. Common sense, no? Gong to take awhile, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts.. This too shall pass. We can figure this out. Hanx.”</p>

Tom Hanks talks about 'caring for each other', 'giving up comforts' in new post

<p>The Australians have good reason to troll Tom Hanks apparently. Ever since the Hollywood star revealed that he and wife have both <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-tom-hanks-and-wife-rita-wilson-test-positive-for-coronavirus-285713">tested positive </a>in coronavirus scare and are in quarantine, getting treated from the virus -- there have been news on his health updates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, the actor came in news for having documented their self-quarantine activities -- from making a Spotify playlist called ‘Quarantunes’ to talking to fans on social media. Now, Tom Hanks is in the news for having shared a photo of his meal -- toasts with vegemite on it. He captioned the picture: "Thanks to the Helpers. Let's take care of ourselves and each other." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-thanks-for-taking-good-care-writes-tom-hanks-in-a-new-picture-with-wife-post-coronavirus-diagnosis-286018">Also read:&nbsp;'Thanks for taking good care' writes Tom Hanks in a new picture with wife post coronavirus diagnosis</a></p>

<p>While it was a sweet gesture on his part to share a picture of a spread (vegemite) that is fondly used by the Australians, some of them replied to Tom Hanks, educating him on the right way of using the dark brown spread that is a yeast extract. The spread is apparently used sparingly with a small portion spread on the toast instead of how Tom had evenly spread a thick layer of it.&nbsp;</p>

Tom Hanks respectfully trolled for using too much vegemite while in quarantine

<p>He sent the world into a tizzy as Tom Hanks<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-tom-hanks-and-wife-rita-wilson-test-positive-for-coronavirus-285713"> revealed</a> that he was quarantined with wife as they both tested positive for Coronavirus. The couple were in Australia when they contracted COVID-19.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tom Hanks was set to shoot for his next film based on the life of Elvis Presley.</p>

<p>Announcing the news, he had posted on Instagram: “Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive. Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves! Hanx!”</p>

We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive. Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves! Hanx!</a></p>

<p>As the world discussed and expressed their shock at the news with prayers flooding from everywhere for the much-celebrated actor -- Tom Hanks shared a new picture from quarantine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He wrote, “Today, he has posted a new picture with his wife Rita and thanked the health staff for taking their proper care. Sharing the picture on social media, Hanks wrote, “Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx”</p>

Slight fevers, too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive," he added. He added that he and Wilson "will be tested, observed and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires"."Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We will keep the world posted and updated," he said. Hanks was in Australia to shoot for the role of Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis Presley`s eccentric manager, who groomed the famous singer to stardom in the 1950s.
