Actor Idris Elba, who has been diagnosed with Wuhan coronavirus, suggested in a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey that the global pandemic is Earth’s response to damage inflicted by humanity, which he compared to an infection.
“Our world has been taking a kicking. We’ve damaged our world and, you know, it’s no surprise that our world is reacting to the human race,” the British actor said.
Idris Elba spoke remotely to Oprah Winfrey as part of her new Apple TV+ series Oprah Talks: COVID-19. In the interview, Elba compared mankind to an infection, with the coronavirus as the Earth’s attempt to rid itself of that malady.

“There’s no surprise that a virus has been created that is going to slow us down and ultimately make us think differently about our world and ourselves,” the Luther star said.
“That’s like for me, that’s a standout thing that’s very obvious. This is almost like the world’s cry out to like, ‘hey hey hey, you’re kicking me, and what you’re doing is not good. So I’ll get rid of you,’ as any organism would do is try and get rid of an infection and maybe this is it for the world.”
Winfrey concurred with the actor’s insight into the coronavirus.
“I think we all lose as human beings if we just think of this as a physical virus,” Winfrey said. “I think it’s exactly what you just said. That it’s here to teach us, show us something about ourselves as individuals and also as a world of people. And this is a moment for our humanity to either rise or not.”
Idris Elba revealed last week that he has coronavirus, but said that he had no symptoms. “Stay home people and be pragmatic,” he said. The actor’s wife, Sabrina Dhowre Elba, revealed her own diagnosis on Winfrey’s Apple TV+ show.
Celebrities including Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson; Daniel Dae Kim; Debi Mazar; Olga Kurylenko; and Placido Domingo have said that they contracted the coronavirus.

Being sick, people often have a sick view of the world. Get better Idris Elba, and you will find your outlook improve with it. Covid-19 is a virus. Not the first one. Not the last. We are the best fed, longest-living, and most prosperous human beings that have ever existed. CO2 is the basic ingredient molecule of life on earth. Multicellular life began at 7000ppm. CO2 has been naturally declining for 600 million years. All life begins to die at 100-150ppm. During our ongoing Pleistocene/Holocene Ice Age glacial phases, CO2 drops to 180ppm – far too close to lethal lows. A little more CO2 has made the environment greener, shrunk deserts, and brought a string of world record crop yields. Life has NEVER BEEN BETTER! Hollywood needs to take a science class.
Winfrey and Elba are obviously pagan morons. Never listen to actors like them and Justin. Their only talent is pretending they’re someone else. That’s right up there with cleaning out septic tanks.
Human Infect called Liberal and Liberal celeberty yes we have those problems with this screwball
Winfrey and Elba are demonstrating how stupid and uneducated that they are. Australia was over run with rabbits, an invasive species. This was having quite an impact on the grazing sheep farmers relied on. A virus deadly to rabbits was introduced. At first it appeared that the rabbits had been wiped out. But in order to enhance its survival the virus evolved to be less deadly. The rabbits evolved to be more resistance. Eventually there were as many rabbits as before the virus was introduced.
As far as humans, the Black Plague wiped a third of the population of Europe. This was at a time that didn’t have modern medicine and they had no idea how the plague spread. Yet, Europe recovered. The Spanish Flu is estimated to have killed 50 million, yet the world recovered. We will certainly return to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic has passed.
The Black Plague was especially rough on people who couldn’t handle alcohol. Wine and beer were the “water of life” . Usquebaugh. The European settlers brought firewater to North America. The locals couldn’t handle it. That’s how the West was really won.
The first word in the article: “Actor”. Red flag warning – ignorance at work.
Since Earth attacked him early, he must be one of the worst ones.
Just another Hollywood liberal to add to the Boycott list just look up their movies and agree to never watch them at the Theater and never to rent or buy their DVD’s lets hit them where it hurts in their Bank Accounts
Someone said that if Vincent Van Gough hadn’t cut off his ear and mailed it to the object of his affection, we would never have heard of him. But he did, and his paintings are near priceless.
‘Chicks dig scars” is a variation.
Pretending that you’re a plague doesn’t sell.
Homely and Stupid yes he is a Liberal
Yes. The World is infected. By the mindless idiots like you, you waste of DNA you.
The more i see and hear of New Hollywood the more i prefer Old Hollywood back in Hollywood’s Golden Age
What this lefty really means is that China developed the bug, it got loose and punished them then they spread it to rest of us a bit later. Err by the way, the earth is an inanimate object.
