The latest: In December, she revealed that she still has antibodies to COVID-19, almost nine months after recovering from it. And almost two months later, Rita Wilson revealed that she no longer has the antibodies
In the video interview, Ellen said that while she only defeated COVID herself, Rita and her husband, Tom Hanks, also 64, got it ‘early’.
When asked if they get calls for advice, she said, ‘Well, and you feel a little superheroic and superhuman because you have the antibodies and you feel you can go places and do things except no one else anywhere can not go and do anything. ‘
But yes, we got a lot of calls and it was actually lovely to hear from people. And I know we talked when you had it. And it’s awful to have it. Hopefully the vaccine will be there now and people can get it, and we can get back to normal life soon. ‘
Ellen noted that if people have the virus, ‘people are afraid of you and they run away’.

Rita said that when she and Tom had it, ‘we got it so early that we were completely isolated and did not see anyone. It was just us. And sometimes he scared me, so I ran away, ‘she joked.
Ellen asked if she had recently been tested for antibodies, which according to Rita was said, and which actually is no more.
Rita said: ‘Unfortunately I no longer have the antibodies. I just tested two weeks ago, and I no longer have the antibodies, but it’s OK, I have a mask. And I have a hand sanitizer, so I’m back like everyone else. ‘
Rita and Tom both contracted and repaired COVID-19 in March while in Australia for work; they were told at the time that they had contracted the disease in the US or on a trip to Australia – not in Australia.

They confirmed on March 12, 2020 via their social media that they had COVID-19.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, at the time of diagnosis there was a new infection in Australia that did not have contact and they had the virus for at least one week before confirming that it was COVID-19.
According to the outlet, there were only 130 cases in the country at the time.
She revealed in a personal interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live in early December that she still had antibodies and was being tested by an UCLA antibody program for a study.
When she had COVID, the star remembered that she ‘was very tired, very sore, felt uncomfortable, did not want to touch,’ adding that she had a fever that had 102 degrees on day nine, with chills and loss of taste and smell.
During her Ellen interview, she also talked about her father, who chose the family name Wilson after taking it off a street nameplate.
‘The name I was born with was Margarita Ibrahimoff, who I think sounds like a fantastic Bulgarian gymnast, but he was tired of people asking him how do you spell the name, how do you pronounce it? And so he chooses Wilson because he knows no one would ever ask him how to spell Wilson. ‘
