The health of our players and staff is of the highest priority to the organization and the team is doing everything within its power to ensure that those affected receive the best care possible,” the team wrote.

Now that Kevin Durant, Idris Elba, and Tom Hanks have tested positive for COVID19, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that celebrities aren’t more prone to getting it.

The rest of us just aren’t worthy of being tested in America.

On Sunday, the internet was ruptured by the news that Hollywood star Idris Elba got infected with the virus.

The star is currently in self-isolation and fortunately, he was asymptomatic when the virus was detected, offering him a greater chance at recovery.
