'I'm worried people aren't talking to each other about it,' Idris Elba said on Tuesday
Days before he tested positive for the virus, Elba was photographed with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife,, at a charity event in London. Mrs. Trudeau tested positive for the virus upon returning to Canada last week and has since been in self-isolation alongside the prime minister and their three children.
“I got tested because I had realized I got exposed to someone who had also tested positive,” Elba said when he first announced the news on Monday.“I’m making music,” he said, laughing as he showed off an acoustic guitar he recently bought. “I write a lot of songs and I’m learning to play the guitar.”
Elba said the news “sucks” but he’s “doing okay,” and seemed in an otherwise positive mood during his Q&A on Tuesday. But the actor didn’t hesitate to strike a serious tone in warning people about the reality of the coronavirus, which has now infected more than 5,000 in the U.S. and killed 93. “There’s some transparency given to this situation when someone like Tom or myself is in this situation,” Elba said. “I’m worried people aren’t talking to each other about it. I’m worried people are going to stigmatize other people. I’m worried that we’re going to panic and send the whole world into a spin.”
