Andrew Cuomo was worried about his younger brother, Chris, amid his coronavirus battle.
The politician got candid about how having his family fight the virus personally affected him, while giving his first late-night interview onon Thursday. When asked how his brother's diagnosis shaped his experience, Andrew got emotional recalling how he worried that Chris"could die."
"I kept saying to him, 'Don't worry. You're young. You are fine,'" Andrew continued."Yeah, sure, but who knows, right? Because yes, it tends to attack seniors, but you also have younger people who are dying, and there is nothing I could do. I am his big brother. I love him more than anybody. I am the governor of the state. [There was] nothing that I can do to help.
"On top of all the disorientation, on top of the responsibility, then you just have this real-life situation where you worry every day, that is he going to be the one... that could lose his life, that could die from this," he said, getting emotional."So it does bring it home, it does bring it home." "This is traumatic. This is PTSD for an entire generation that will talk about this, and it is personal. So I tried to communicate how I feel, personally, and my fear and my anxiety, as part of this, to say to you, 'You are not alone. Everyone is feeling this. I am feeling it too,'" he candidly told Noah.
