CNN anchor Chris Cuomo addressed his coronavirus diagnosis on his show Tuesday night following the announcement he made on social media.
"I tested positive. Scary, yes, as you might imagine, but better me than you," Cuomo began while broadcasting from his basement. "My concern is what I may have put upon my family just like you would. That is hurting me more than anything the virus can do.
"So let's focus," he continued. "Let's use this example of me having it as proof that you can get it, too, God forbid. We have to do everything we can to avoid being sick. We have to do it for ourselves, our families, and for those on the front lines who are saving people like me and many of you. Together as ever as one. That is our remedy. "

He concluded: "So let's move past this idea of fear to fact. What do they need us to do, what is working, what do we have questions about, what remains?"
