| Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his family tested positive for the coronavirus. |
WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE
Dwayne Johnson is a professional athlete, entertainer and business mogul. He is known as The Rock, a famous WWE wrestler and commentator.
Dwayne Douglas Johnson is an American-Canadian actor, producer, businessman, retired professional wrestler and former American and Canadian football player. He wrestled for the WWE for eight years before he became a well-known actor.
Johnson has heritage of Canadian, Samoan and African American.
He and several business partners are considering a bid for Vince McMahon's XFL. The XFL was supposed to get off the ground this year but quickly folded this year. Some blame poor mismanagement from top executives. Other blame the coronavirus for the season to end quickly.
Johnson has three daughters.
Johnson shared on social media that he and his family all tested positive for the coronavirus.
He announced that his wife and two of his children all had symptoms of the coronavirus when they had a small gathering. He said that he became infected about two and a half weeks ago, from "very close family friends." He called it "one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family," but added that he and his family were now "on the other end of it" and were healthy and no longer contagious.
While the symptoms were mild for his daughters, Jasmine and Tiana, Johnson and wife Lauren Hashian were going through a rough patch.
Johnson said that if he can get it, you can as well. He said that people must follow the CDC guidelines on how to combat the coronavirus.
"It baffles me that some people out there -- including some politicians -- will take this idea of wearing masks and make it part of a political agenda," Johnson said.
"It has nothing to do with politics," Johnson said. "Wear your mask"
He shared a story of his mother who is recovering from lung cancer. He said she still wears a mask "every day" and is still being treated for a partial lung removal.

Johnson joins a list of entertainers, athletes, politicians and public figures to diagnosis with the coronavirus.
Standing at 6'5'', Johnson gain fame for playing roles as action heroes and movie villains.
Earlier this year, Johnson had mourned the loss of his father Rocky Johnson. His father died in January of a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot that traveled through his leg. Johnson credits his father for his successes.
Here's the map.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
16. Retail is now mandating workers and shoppers to wear facial protection. If you are continuing to not follow company policies when it comes to wearing facial protection, you can be banned from their establishment. Walmart, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Best Buy and other companies are now requiring facial protection in their businesses.
17. Have patience with those in the healthcare industry, service industry and law enforcement. They are operating at limited staff. Those who work at restaurants, casinos, media companies, landscaping, construction and first responders are working to serve and help you. But note, that they are putting themselves at risk as well of catching the coronavirus. Respect those who have to work in this.
18. Some hand sanitizers are considered dangerous to your health. Methanol-based hand sanitizer could be toxic to those with weaken immune systems or allergies. The Food and Drug Administration have warned of methanol contamination. Some products made in Mexico and China may be dangerous. There are some people ingesting hand sanitizer. See 19.
19. Please do not ingest or inject sanitizer, bleach or hydroxychloroquine into your body. There is no cure for the coronavirus. Scientists are working on creating a safe vaccine to treat the coronavirus.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
