“Suicide Squad” actor and 30 Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto just found out about the coronavirus pandemic because he was on a 12-day retreat without any news. “Wow. Twelve days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert,” he wrote on Instagram Tuesday morning. “We were totally isolated. No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility… walked out yesterday into a very different world. One that’s been changed forever. Mind blowing — to say the least.” He added: “Hope you and yours are OK. Sending positive energy to all. Stay inside. Stay safe.”
