Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston Reveals That He Has Recovered From COVID-19
Bryan Cranston is the latest celebrity to reveal he had COVID-19 and is using his fame to urge others to do all that they can to help.
Even though more than 600,000 people have been killed by COVID-19 worldwide, some people still refuse to take it seriously. Some people even refuse to believe it exists. A lot of the time, the reason for someone acting that way in the wake of something so serious is because they haven't been affected by it directly, or seen what the virus can do first-hand.
That's why when news breaks of a celebrity contracting the virus it shouldn't be greeted with an eye roll or a sigh. We completely agree that a celebrity contracting the virus isn't any worse than a non-famous person falling ill. However, someone famous sharing their own coronavirus story can lead to those who didn't take it seriously previously realizing that they need to change their attitude.
That's why Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad's Walter White) took to Instagram this week to tell his story. Cranston revealed that he contracted COVID-19, despite following all the protocols, but was one of the lucky ones as his symptoms were mild. However, he is using his platform to urge others to take the pandemic seriously, wash their hands, and wear a mask.
Since Cranston now has the COVID-19 antibodies having recovered from the virus, so decided to donate plasma. Not only that, but he documented his plasma donation on Instagram, as can be seen above. Cranston will be hoping that by showing how easy and almost painless the process is, others who have suffered and recovered from the virus will follow in his footsteps and also donate plasma.
Cranston isn't the only celebrity to have caught and recovered from COVID-19, of course. Tom Hanks was one of the first, and Mel Gibson was hospitalized with the virus. Hopefully, all of those who have caught it who have a platform will use it to spread a positive message, as in some parts of the world there are far too many people still not taking the pandemic seriously.
