Idris Elba has fully recovered after testing positive for COVID-19 but he believes that each year, we should consider doing a weeklong quarantine to remember the effects of this pandemic. His comments have triggered a debate among fans but one person would be ecstatic for the world to stay home for the entire week. That man is Tory Lanez.

If anybody has won this quarantine, it’s Tory Lanez. The Toronto native got free of his label deal, released a pretty dope mixtape, and became the host of the must-watch Quarantine Radio series on Instagram Live. The live-stream has ended for the foreseeable future but if there’s another month added to the lockdown, Lanez will return with more twerk-a-thons and competitions. 

Idris Elba suggested that we quarantine for one week out of the entire year moving forward and, because of Quarantine Radio, Tory Lanez is all for that plan.

“A week of quarantine radio once every year … sounds good to me,” wrote the artist on Instagram.

The saga of Quarantine Radio has been interesting to keep track of. Each episode has been wildly entertaining but the higher-ups at Instagram attempted to shut down the rapper for continually violating their community guidelines by encouraging women to expose themselves. After being canceled for a short period of time, the show was re-instated for the grand finale.

Would you be down to stay in quarantine for one week every year?

Thousands have taken to the streets of their cities to protest the “Stay Home” orders implemented by the government. No matter the continued threat COVID-19 continues to be; people are sick and tired of being stuck at home. Weeks ago, Idris Elba shared his COVID-19 diagnosis with the world, adding that he was in isolation with his wife who, in turn, also contracted the virus.

After recovering from coronavirus, the actor made the press rounds to speak about what life has been like battling the illness that has taken the lives of tens of thousands. He said that it’s been “definitely scary and unsettling and nervous” during this time and “everyone’s sort of feeling the way we have been feeling, but it has definitely been sort of just a complete upheaval.”

The actor-DJ also added that as much as some people haven’t enjoyed the “Stay At Home” orders, it may be something that the world should do once a year. “I think that the world should take a week of quarantine every year just to remember this time. Remember each other. I really do,” he said. He isn’t the first to suggest this, especially because there have been reports coming in worldwide that water and air qualities that vastly improved. Would you agree to a lockdown once a week every year?

Idris Elba and his wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba, may be finished their two required weeks of coronavirus quarantine, but the couple are not allowed to hop on a plane back to London just yet. Following both of their respective coronavirus diagnoses earlier this month, Idris and Sabrina have been in quarantine for at least 14 days in New Mexico, where the actor was on location to film a new movie. While neither of them have experienced any of the symptoms associated with the virus, they were put into self-isolation until the two weeks were up, when the incubation period for the virus is over. Despite completing the required quarantine time, Idris revealed in an update Twitter on Tuesday that he and Sabrina are "stuck in limbo" and are unable to leave their quarantine space just yet.

It all started when Cardi B offered up a heated take on the coronavirus pandemic, theorizing that celebrities have been muddying the waters vis-a-vis proper testing protocol. Especially those who got tested despite feeling relatively healthy, only to discover they've been carriers on the low. After spitballing that some stars might even be paid to make coronavirus announcements, Idris Elba sounded off in defiant retaliation. Despite neglecting to name names, it was clear who his ire was directed to. 

Today, Cardi took to IG to offer a rebuttal. "Sometimes I get on my Live and I be talking my crazy shit entertaining my fans, and people take what I say and run with it," she declares, before clarifying her position. Essentially, she feels as if the public are receiving mixed messages from President Trump and the celebrities who have tested positive for COVID-19, which thus creates further confusion about the proper course of action. "If a celebrity is saying 'I don't have no symptoms I'm feeling good, healthy, but I went and got tested and I'm positive for the coronavirus. That causes confusion!"

"People be like, 'I don't know, I don't have no symptoms but I went out this and that day, shit I might have it,'" she continues. "I'm scared because I'm around my kid, I'm around my grandparent. What do I do?" She explains that people who work regular jobs, the middle class, and the poor are simply not getting treated like the ones up here, celebrities. "They're not getting their coronavirus results the next day, that's one."

She then pivots to some of the inherent flaws within the testing symptom, explaining that not everyone has the luxury of self-quarantining in complete isolation -- especially if they test positive. "A lot of people live in small-ass apartments with multiple people," she continues, detailing how easy it would spread to spouses and children in certain scenarios. "On top of that, a lot of celebrities have the luxury to pay thirty-four thousand dollars or whatever the fuck it cost to get tested and treated. A lot of these people don't have that money! Some people don't even have enough money to fucking afford health care!"

"I feel like all this shit, for coronavirus treatments and testing, all that shit, the government should take that and charge that shit to the game," she concludes. "This could have been prevented months ago when they found out the shit it was doing in China. They shouldn't be charging Medicaid, health insurance, none of that shit. This is ya'll fault it got in the muthafucking country." Ever defiant, Cardi sums up her breakdown with a succinct yet evocative caption: I said what I said.

One of the first celebrities to contract the novel coronavirus was Idris Elba, who was possibly in contact with Sophie Trudeau, Justin Trudeau’s wife, in the week prior to his diagnosis. The actor was open about his positive test, noting that he was asymptomatic and that he is expected to make a full recovery. Because of their quarantine situation, his wife Sabrina also tested positive. 

There has been a conspiracy theory floating around that celebrities — including Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, and others — are being paid to say they have coronavirus. Cardi B is among the people who vocalized this theory. Idris Elba wants everyone to know that, not only is that wildly untrue, it’s also irresponsible to be spreading that false narrative.

“This idea that someone like myself is gonna be paid to say ‘I’ve got coronavirus,’ that’s like absolute bullshit,” said the actor in a recent Instagram Live session. “Such stupidness and people wanna spread that as if it’s like news. That’s stupid… That’s the quickest way to get people sick.”

In the same video, he spoke about “test-shaming,” crossing his fingers that a global test would become available for people of all backgrounds… not just the rich. 

Listen to what he had to say in the video below. Get well soon, Idris and Sabrina!

Oprah Winfrey may be among entertainment's wealthiest names, but when it comes to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, she's right here with the rest of us. Given how dangerous circumstances have become, it's ultimately better to err on the side of caution.

With many practicing social distancing and self-isolation in an effort to combat the spread, some couples have been forced to be in close proximity with one another for unprecedented time periods. We've already seen Idris Elba, who tested positive for COVID-19, in close proximity with his wife Sabrina. For Oprah, who has battled with health scares in the recent past, that's hardly a ble option.

The 66-year-old icon recently FaceTimed with O Magazine digital editor Arianna Davis, where she revealed the extent of her precautionary measures. In short, her longtime partner Steadman Graham has been effectively, albeit lovingly, banished to the guest house for the time being. Fear not for him, for Oprah has been vigilant in leaving food at his doorstep.

"Steadman is in the guest house," she tells Davis. "As you all know I had pneumonia late last year -- you can still hear the raspiness in my throat when I talk sometimes. I had just gotten off antibiotics last week for a bronchial infection." She also reveals that Steadman has been a little late to the party when it comes to the concept of social distancing, and recently traveled in from Chicago -- as such, Oprah made sure to redirect him to the guest house for an indefinite spell of quarantined downtime.

Confused though he may have been about the development, he ultimately came to terms with the fact he'd be flying solo for at least a fortnight."I am the exact opposite of Sabrina [Elba]," laughs Oprah. "I didn't want to tell [her] Stedman's in the guest house, but okay!" 

It appears Idris Elba’s wife, Sabrina Dhowre, now has coronavirus as well. Sabrina shared her diagnosis with Oprah Winfrey Saturday during a Facetime call on Winfrey's "Oprah Talks COVID-19," Apple TV+ series.

Idris’ wife said she had just found out yesterday morning that she had tested positive. However, she says she wasn't too surprised though because she was already in route to be with her husband when he was awaiting his test results and rushed to be by his side when he found out about his positive result.

"I wanted to be with him," she said. "That's the instinct of a wife. You want to go and take care."

Like her husband, Dhowre Elba said she felt fine, stating, "I don't feel anything that would come to what people would now expect to be a symptom of coronavirus, which is really strange."

"It might change in the coming weeks, and we'll keep everyone updated," she said. "But it is worrisome that we're sitting here, two people, and ... we're asymptomatic."

The couple is currently in New Mexico where they are under quarantine. We wish them a full & speedy recovery. Check out their discussion with Oprah (below).

Like millions of people all over the world, I've been staying safer at home for over a week now. I know a lot of people are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and uncertain. Because of that, I wanted to offer some hope and gather thought leaders and people going through it to add some perspective. Which is why I FaceTimed Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina who are safely quarantined together after he tested positive for COVID-19. Idris fills me in on his journey and Sabrina reveals the result of her test after they decided to quarantine together.

Cardi B has developed a new conspiracy theory about the coronavirus: all the celebrities alleging that they have coronavirus after getting tested despite having no symptoms are actually just getting paid to say this to the public. Ever since the coronavirus escalated to new heights and started spreading worldwide, many celebrities have come forward to reveal that they are among those who have tested positive for the respiratory virus. While some, like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, were tested after they reported flu-like symptoms, others, like Idris Elba, were able to receive a test despite having no symptoms at all. Additionally, after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert dismissed COVID-19 prevention protocol and contracted the virus, the whole team was tested as a precautionary measure. Gobert’s teammate Donovan Mitchell went on to test positive, as did fellow NBA players like Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant.

Folks have been critical about how COVID-19 tests have been easily accessible for the rich and famous while regular civilians are denied tests, but Cardi B is suspicious of why certain wealthy stars are even getting tested in the first place. The outspoken rapper went live on Instagram recently, and of course, the main topic of discussion was coronavirus. Cardi expressed her frustration and confusion about asymptomatic folks going to get tested, and came to a wild conclusion. “We keep seeing these basketball players say like, ‘Yeah, I have the coronavirus but I don’t got no symptoms,'” Cardi begins. “So how the f*ck am I supposed to know when Im supposed to get tested for it?!”

“Y’all n*ggas is playin’ with me,” she repeats over and over. “That’s my problem right there. Cause y’all not really saying what it is. And it’s like, alright, so tell me what it is and what it ain’t. I’m starting to feel like y’all n*ggas is payin’ n*ggas to say that they got it, and if y’all are paying n*ggas to say that they got it, pay me too! Pay me too! Okay? Sh*t, ’cause I’m trying to get paid.” Do you agree with Cardi, or is this just a bunch of nonsense?

Idris Elba was one of the first high-profile celebrities to test positive for Coronavirus. The actor, as well as his wife Sabrina Dhowre, spoke with Oprah on Facetime, Saturday, to discuss how he is handling the situation, according to Deadline.
