“To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive. Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ [sic] will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.”
