It is not wrong to wonder if one reason so many political leaders worldwide are being identified with coronavirus is that they are being tested. Yes, they also interact with those of other countries, so that, also, surely is a reason.
Celebrities? Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, have tested positive. Three NBA players have tested positive. And, this might be significant: Heidi Klum says she would like to be tested, but is not being allowed to. If celebrities -- like the rest of us -- are not being allowed to be tested, then they will go unnoticed, even if they have the virus. Many of them, like political leaders, also interact with people from other countries.
One thinks of how Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert's testing positive woke up and galvanized the nation. It would not take too many Hollywood stars testing positive to further frighten us, as a nation, against the coronavirus. So, that Heidi Klum is not being allowed to be tested might be significant.
