Well, the coronavirus continues to infect big names throughout the country.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s brother and CNN host Chris Cuomo has tested positive for COVID-19. Cuomo has experienced fever, shortness of breath, and chills.
However, he is not severely ill and will continue broadcasting his show from home. Thank God. The interviews between Chris and Andrew have been a bright spot on the news lately.
At this point, the worst part for Cuomo has been feeling bad about potentially exposing his wife and kids.

There seems to be every confidence that Chris Cuomo will recover.
Gov. Cuomo addressed his brother’s diagnosis during his daily press briefing, assuring that he is “going to be fine.”
“He is young in good shape, strong, not as strong as he thinks, but he will be fine but there’s a lesson in this,” the governor said. “He’s an essential worker, member of the press, he’s been out there, you go out there, the chance you get infected is very high. I spoke to him this morning.”
“In his job he’s combative and he’s argumentative and he’s pushing people, but that’s his job, that’s really not who he is, he’s a really sweet beautiful guy and my best friend,” he added.
COVID-19 is no respecter of persons. Stay home as much as possible. Although Cuomo has not historically proven to be a big fan of “thoughts and prayers”, my thoughts and prayers are with Cuomo nonetheless. I wish him a speedy recovery and protection for his wife and kids.
