However, Wilson says she hopes that will be changing soon as the vaccine gets distributed more widely.

 

Wilson told the host, "And I know we talked when you had it. And it's horrible to have it. Hopefully now the vaccine's going to be out there and people can get it, and we can get back to normal life soon."

During their conversation, Ellen joked that "people are scared of you and they run away" after you test positive.

 

Wilson responded with a quip of her own: "We were so early on in getting it that we were completely isolated and we didn't see anybody. It was just us. And sometimes he scared me, so I did run away."
