New York: CNN anchor Chris Cuomo tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday but still anchored his show from his basement telling his viewers, “Brace yourself, not for a hoax. But for the next few weeks of scary and painful realities. This is a fight. It’s going to get worse. We’re going to suffer.”

He interviewed Illinois Gov.J.B. Pritzker, an emergency room nurse and CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, who expressed worry about one of Cuomo’s symptoms, said a New Indian Express report quoting AP.

The 49-year-old newsman looked pale, his eyes watery and red-rimmed. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself, said the report.
