Chris Cuomo reveals setback in his fight against coronavirus

CNN host Chris Cuomo thought he was getting close to the end of his fight against the coronavirus before experiencing a setback.

On his show Tuesday night, Cuomo detailed how he tried to make it 72 hours without a fever after he stopped taking Tylenol, which is one of the milestones doctors want to see when deciding if a person can come out of isolation at home after testing positive for COVID-19.

"I got close. I got to 60 (hours). And I have to be honest, I got a little cocky," Cuomo said. "I started thinking about: 'Oh great, I can't wait. I want to get retested and then I'm gonna do this, and then I'm gonna do that.'

"It's not the way COVID works. The more I learn anecdotally and from the clinicians who are treating it, it comes in waves."

I started social distancing the beginning of March . "You don't know what you've got till it's gone."

He's starting to feel better after about 5 weeks, but for 3 weeks he was sick.

this is not your everyday flu.

Cuomo was demonstrating a heavy sweat throughout the show. So, he still (after 2 weeks) has a way to go before the virus is done with him.

Concerning, too, are the reports that even those who have recovered may have internal organ damage, some temporary, some permanent to heart, lungs, kidneys and liver.

This is certainly not your regular flu.
