According to Bell, "he was skiing in the Italian alps with 6 other guys," 4 of which, including his uncle, now have the coronavirus. One is reportedly in a coma and two others are sick. Bell says his uncle "has not present any symptoms as of yet," but has chosen to self-quarantine himself. From the thread: A few days later they tested him and yesterday he found out he's positive.

In an updated tweet, Bell says his aunt is now quarantined and the guy in the coma "is starting to improve." Here's a screenshot of the thread:Read more of this story at Slashdot.
