"About now you’re probably feeling a little tied down, restricting your mobility and like me, you’re tired of this!!" Cranston wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a video showing him donating his plasma at UCLA Medical Center. "Well, I just want to encourage you to have a little more patience. I was pretty strict in adhering to the protocols and still... I contracted the virus. Yep. it sounds daunting now that over 150,000 Americans are dead because of it. I was one of the lucky ones. Mild symptoms. I count my blessings and urge you to keep wearing the damn mask, keep washing your hands, and stay socially distant. We can prevail - but ONLY if we follow the rules together. Be well - Stay well."

Bryan Cranston hasn't fully regained his sense of taste and smell since recovering from COVID-19

“The only thing that lingered, and still is to this day, is I lost a percentage of my ability to taste and smell,” Cranston tells Ellen DeGeneres while promoting Showtime's Your Honor. “I think about 75 percent has come back, but if someone was brewing coffee, and I walk into a kitchen, I cannot … smell it.”
