'There is no superhero who is immune to this disease,' New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. 'Anyone can get it.'
Reiterating that the news personality is isolated at home and"doing fine," the governor used his brother has an example of how"anyone" can get coronavirus.
The younger Cuomo, a CNN anchor, revealed his diagnosis Tuesday on Twitter: "Sooooo in these difficult times that seem to get more difficult and complicated by the day, I just found out that I am positive for coronavirus. I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fever, chills and shortness of breath."
"When he told me he had the coronavirus, it scared me," the New York governor said Wednesday. "It frightened me. Why? Because we still don't know... And I deal with all sorts of stuff and I've seen all sorts of things... Why? Because we're talking about my brother. This is my best friend. I talk to him several times a day, basically spent my whole life with him. It is frightening on a fundamental level ... because there is nothing I can do.
