The Breaking Bad actor posted a video on Instagram where he appears masked, to explain why he considers himself lucky despite his battle with the disease.

Hi. About now you're probably feeling a little tied down, restricting your mobility and like me, you're tired of this !! 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. BC

“I strictly adhered to the protocol and yet I contracted the virus. It seems crazy to imagine that 150,000 Americans died because of this. But I was lucky. I had mild symptoms. I take it as a blessing but I encourage you to wear this damn mask, ”he said in his message, posted right in front of a blood donation center in Los Angeles.

All together

According to experts, the antibodies in the blood of some people who have recovered from the coronavirus can help research and potentially cure sick patients. Bryan Cranston also shows, in his video, the process of taking blood to recover his plasma, with a certain Ron, who takes the time to explain the method to him. "Beautiful, liquid gold," exclaims the star when shown the blood drawn.

“Today they took 840 milliliters of blood from me. I will come back tomorrow to give more, ”he explains in the caption.

“Continue to wash your hands and practice social distancing. We can win, but ONLY if we follow the rules together. Be healthy, stay healthy, ”concludes Walter White's interpreter.
