Chris Cuomo Says His COVID-19 After Effects Are Freaking Him Out

Chris Cuomo may have officially recovered from the coronavirus but the after effects are weirding him out, the CNN host said on “Cuomo Prime Time” Tuesday.

“I’m not 100%,” Cuomo told Dr. Sanjay Gupta, per Entertainment Tonight. “There is funky stuff in my bloodwork, that doctors say is what they see in people who have had COVID. So it freaks me out a little bit.”

Cuomo said he would continue to update viewers on his recovery, just as he did while he was sick with the virus that has killed more than 98,000 people in the United States.

“As long as there are other people who have the same kind of funky bloodwork, I’ll just keep taking it one day at a time,” he said. “And, as relevant, I am always telling people about the experience.”

I caught it last January, and it's been a nightmare. It romped through my system and messed with my lungs and kidneys along the way. I don't think I've ever experienced anything as painful as the kidney problems I've suffered.

in order to determine if you are still contagious? If so, what is the mechanism that determines when you are no longer contagious?

No, I haven't. I've been staying very close to home of late. This is the first week I haven't been in pain. There is a testing place within walking distance, and I am thinking hard about it.

I can imagine how concerned Chris is from the strange blood test results. Look at the children that are coming down with Kawasaki, or whatever they call it now, after you think they have beaten the war.

What happens to those little blood clots that pop up in huge numbers? (This was seen by a dr. who was trying to remove a blood clot and was shocked at the whole sequence of the clots forming so quickly around it.) What about long-term damage to the kidneys, lungs, heart?

This is truly an incredibly scary disease and why it is worth the hard work to avoid being exposed...child or adult.

I wish Chris, his wife and son good luck for a positive recovery. Same to all the victims who have fought the good fight and have lived to tell their story.
