I think we’ve all realized this by now that getting the Coronavirus is no joke. Seeing celebrities catch the virus shows that no one is immune to its effects no matter how healthy, wealthy or famous you are. Here’s what celebrities are saying about catching COVID-19.

The Bachelor's Colton Underwood hopped on Instagram Monday afternoon after he went public last week with his COVID-19 diagnosis. He says the hardest part is his difficulty breathing.

Hi, just wanted to give you a health update. The last few days were rougher than I expected. The most prominent symptoms are my cough, night sweats and shortness of breathe. Breathing is challenging, the best way to describe it is feeling like I only have access to 20% of my lungs. I can only imagine how people with pre-existing health conditions feel with this. I’ve been journaling throughout this and I’ll share some of those soon. This morning was the first time that I’ve felt any real type of improvement since the beginning of this. Im hopeful that I’ve turned the corner and will be back to 100% soon. We are very lucky that all of this was manageable at home after getting the proper medicine. I’m on the third story of the Randolph’s home, isolated from the rest of the family (The Health Department called and spoke to both Cassie’s mom and me to make sure we understood timing and what to do). When they make food they make an extra plate and drop it off and have been checking on me regularly to make sure I am comfortable and breathing! They have been amazing and have been taking great care of me. Stay positive people...We got this!

Andy Cohen from the Bravo network kept it short, letting his followers know he had the virus and wasn’t feeling great.

Actor Idris Elba tested as soon as he found out another celebrity he’d been in contact with tested positive for the virus. He went on Instagram live to talk about how he was feeling.

The world was SHOOK when we found out that actor Tom Hanks and his wife had caught the virus in Australia. Hanks recently posted on Instagram how he and his wife were feeling a week into catching it.
