Brooke Baldwin announced her coronavirus diagnosis in early April and has since recovered
“I went to some very dark places, especially at night. Evenings would bring on an eerie melancholy, which was particularly odd for me — a glass-half-full/chemically blessed kind of gal,” she wrote. “But under the influence of coronavirus, as each day came to a close, I would often cry, unable to stave off the sense of dread and isolation I felt about what was to come.”
Her first symptom, she said, was smelling the “acrid ammonia-like odor of jewelry cleaner,” despite there not being any cleaner around. By the next morning, Baldwin had completely lost her sense of taste and smell and her energy was “zapped.”CNN Host Chris Cuomo, Brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Tests Positive for Coronavirus
Towards the end of her segment Monday night, Baldwin began to tear up while thanking those who reached out to her while she was sick. “You know getting sick was awful, but hearing from thousands of you sharing your kindness and generosity with me through texts and emails and a lot of DMs on Instagram was the biggest gift I unexpectedly received these last few weeks,” she shared. “And it showed me how, even when the world stops and takes a collective breath, we are all capable of showing up for one another.”
She continued, “I am so moved by the millions of you who have been willing to sacrifice so much in these last few weeks all for the safety of your fellow Americans. I know it's tough and it still is. When the world reopens for good, let's remember these more challenging times and remind ourselves we have the power to take care of one another.”
