I just wonder what this means about transmission. What was the weak link here?
Just a few days ago, CNN’s Chris Cuomo, 45, announced he had tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus). He said he’d lost a significant amount of weight in a short period while battling the virus.
As for Brooke Baldwin, 40, she had no underlying conditions and was practicing social distancing when she told her posted to her Instagram account, “Hi friends — I’ve tested positive for coronavirus. I am OKAY. It came on suddenly yesterday afternoon: chills, aches, fever. I’ve been social distancing. Doing ALL the things we’re being told to do. Still — it got me. I’m healthy … no underlying conditions,” she wrote.
Baldwin anchors CNN Newsroom from 2 PM ET to 4 PM ET weekdays. Anderson Cooper anchored at the 2 PM hour on Friday, while Baldwin wrote that she looked forward to being back on TV and “seeing you real soon.”
Earlier this week, one of her colleagues, Chris Cuomo, announced that he had tested positive, but he has continued to anchor Cuomo Prime Time from the basement of his home.
Baldwin added in her note, “I’m healthy…no underlying conditions…Honestly, I feel like one of the lucky ones.”
A number of news personalities have begun anchoring from their homes, including those who are doing so because of some exposure to the virus or out of a sense of precaution. Good Morning America co-anchor George Stephanopoulos has been doing the show from his home, where his wife Ali Wentworth is recovering after contracting the virus. [Deadline]
