Sharing a snap of a piece from his typewriter collection on Instagram, he wrote: "Hey folks. Good News: One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same.

"No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch.

"Bad news: My wife @ritawilson has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and leads by 201 points. But I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick.

"I travelled here with a typewriter, one I used to love. We are all in this together. Flatten the curve. Hanx (sic)"

A spokesperson for the couple recently confirmed they have left the Queensland hospital in which they were being treated and are now quarantining themselves from home.

"There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time.

"There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx (sic)"
