Listening to the instagram video, he, his wife, and their two daughters all were diagnosed with COVID.

 

As for how they contracted the illness, The Rock said that they got it from close family friends, who are "devastated" to have passed on the virus. He added that they don't know where they themselves caught it, as he and their friends were "very disciplined" when it came to social distancing. 

He acknowledged that there needs to be "even greater discipline" when it comes to visiting with friends and family, something he hopes his followers are equally as "aggressive" about.

My hygiene has gone to hell.  I work from home so it doesn't matter but I use my hand sanitizer, I don't go out, but I take like  2 or 3 showers a week and do one load of clothes a week, change my undies, brush my teeth every day and use the cottonelle wipes when I use the bathroom and sponge bath every day and use deodorant, etc.  I don't work in the yard, have a landscaper and a maid but I feel dirty. I've just kind of given up.  Called Teledoc that I have through my employer - won't give me anything for anxiety because they say it's a behavioral issue (WELL DO YOU THINK?  WE'RE IN A DAMNED PANDEMIC), and other employees get Antibiotics over the phone.  My doctor is cutting off my Blood Pressure medicine to make me come in for a Physical.  He's cutting it off.  Like Thanks so much - don't try to kill me or anything.  I'm sure business is terrible for them, I get it, but I'm not going in to his office  - it's in a Hospital and I'm NOT going IN.  

 

I order my groceries and I won't even go to get Gas - until it's down to the last drop and lucky I work from home because it's about 10 gallons to get me for 2 to 3 months.  My recycling is a wreck because I don't even want to put it out and touch the bins after the people have touched them.

 

I know this is too much information but I wonder if other people are dealing with the same or even similar.   This whole thing has made me so sad.  My community didn't open the pool this year and won't.  My friends who have pools won't have anyone over...and I am the one who works from home.  I would be the one in danger because they are essential and go to work but they won't have anyone over.  I'm just so over this whole thing.  

@victoria foxton South Carolina is terrible.  They didn't shut down correctly and they didn't re-open correctly.  My sister has a house there and 2 months ago my family was there _ I didn't go - called them and they were put putt golfing, go-karting, at a water park, eating at restaurants, no face masks, shopping, business as usual.  I don't think people know how bad it's about to get.  Whether they get it or not, they'll spread it to other people.  It's coming.

I'm as paranoid about the situation as you are!  Hubby does grocery shopping once a week in mask & gloves, but we live in the middle of nowhere so no grocery ordering & delivery here.  I can't wait until 4 pm when I can have a glass of wine because it's about the only enjoyment in life now.   I am scared to death what the fall & winter will bring.  We will get our flu shots this month at the pharmacy, but I'm not counting on a viable vaccine until maybe spring.  I certainly won't get an early release that hasn't been totally vetted.

I'm glad I have hand sanitizer.  And soap for my shower.  But I was using Tilex on my hands when this first started because it was the only thing I could find for awhile and I thought, while I'm doing the bathroom and the tub, why not just spray it on.  Well let me tell you, it dries out your nails.  I'm a guy.  And let me tell you when you chip a nail down to the meat, it is a different pain.  And I'm missing a big toe and half a left ankle from a lawn mower accident from when I was 5.  Now they did say I went into shock.  But  Imma just gonna say - don't use Tilex on your hands. Ya ain going into shock and it's gonna hurt.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
