New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave an emotional update during his Wednesday coronavirus briefing about his younger brother, CNN's Chris Cuomo, who announced his COVID-19 diagnosis a day prior.
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.
"There is no superhero who is immune to this disease," he said. "Anyone can get it. No one can be protected from it. I couldn't protect my own brother ... And with all he knows and as smart as he is, he couldn't protect himself."
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."

(13,043 posts)OMG Andrew's endorsement of Biden is outstanding. He cracked me up with his curt "NO" responses to Chris' egging .
Having seen what a strong leader the older Cuomo has demonstrated, my takeaway is he will make a FINE POTUS one day. Right now NY needs him.
