While the coronavirus (COVID-19) no longer appears to be as deadly as it once was, cases remain on the rise and plenty of people are being left with long-lasting health issues. The virus is also extremely unpleasant, something emphasised by The Suicide Squad star Michael Rooker in a Facebook post shared this weekend.

Explaining that he chose not to take any medication while battling the virus (something the Guardians of the Galaxy actor rightly says worked for him but isn't based on any official advice), Rooker detailed his gruelling battle with COVID and explained the rigors his body was put through.

"In the process of fighting off COVID-19, I could feel and see the results of those daily battles, by how I felt and looked the next day," he writes in the post below. "I was either feeling like crap, or pretty dang good, semi-human in fact. So, just so y'all know the end result of all those daily battles has come to an end. My body has won the WAR!"

We're very glad to hear that Rooker is recovering, though his story proves that no one is safe and that we need to remain on alert to avoid being faced with a potentially serious illness.

Really unfortunate that it happened to him in the first place, but his recovery is good news.

Rooker just threw an arrow at the virus then shouted that he's mary poppins.

That's because nothing short of an alien plague of Cronenbergian slugs and Redemption story-arcs can take down Rooker.

I met Michael years ago when he came in to get his computer fixed (I helped him out) and was gearing up to shoot the first GOTG. Not only was he a super sweet guy who welcomed anyone asking to take photos or shake hands (he was famous for Walking Dead at this time) but he even showed me a picture of him in make up for the camera test for the first GOTG when I mentioned how stoked I was. I’ll never forget - he did that signature “ssshh” gesture from TWD as he pulled out his phone to show me lol.

A really solid stand up guy - I’m happy as hell to hear he made it out alright.
