'Jumanji' and 'Hart of Dixie' Fans Send Love to Laura Bell Bundy After Positive Coronavirus Diagnosis

Tracing the Spread

Bundy shared a clip of her Instagram Live announcement as a regular post, and many fans commented with questions about her diagnosis. A lot of them were looking for information on the onset of symptoms, and how she believed she had contracted the virus in the first place.

"Do you know how you may have contracted this? So sorry," one fan asked.

"Honestly any number of places but BEFORE March 12th," Bundy responded.

'Positive'

Since Bundy starred as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde: The Musical, many fans had the soundtrack on rotation this week after her diagnosis. Some even repurposed the song "Positive" with a grim new meaning.

'F—ing Sad'

Other fans were genuinely distraught about Bundy's diagnosis, and, by extension, the pandemic as a whole. For Broadway actors with incredible vocal prowess, the idea of a respiratory virus was particularly upsetting to fans.

Anger

While many fans turned to sadness, others went straight to anger, furious at the coronavirus itself for infecting Bundy. They wanted something corporeal to direct their fury at.

'Stay Home'

Bundy's claim that she has been at home since March 12 served as an emphasis on the importance of quarantine for many fans. They thanked Bundy and other stars for following medical protocol and encouraged their fans to take this as encouragement to do the same.

Exhaustion

With the coronavirus pandemic escalating by the hour, many fans called Bundy's diagnosis a breaking point for them emotionally. They felt that the virus was getting too close to home to tolerate.

Well-Wishes

Finally, despite the endless coverage and discourse around the coronavirus pandemic, many fans took the opportunity to post a simple get-well message for Bundy and her family.
