Rita Wilson went on CBS This Morning to detail her and her husband Tom Hanks‘ battle with Coronavirus aka COVID-19.
About her symptoms, she said, “Very tired, extremely achy, uncomfortable, didn’t want to be touched. And then the fever started.
Chills like I’ve never had before.” She added that her fever reached around 102 degrees, and she was given the drug chloroquine, which has been much discussed in the media after Donald Trump has touted it in his press conferences as a possible helpful remedy. “I know people have been talking about this drug, but I can only tell you that I don’t know if the drug worked, or if it was time for the fever to break…the chloroquine had such extreme side effects.
