CNN Anchor Brooke Baldwin, 40, Cried Every Night Battling Agonizing Body Aches From Coronavirus
“It took a full two-week beating on my body,” wrote CNN’s Brooke Baldwin, 40, at the start of her Apr. 9 essay detailing her personal battle with coronavirus. Brooke revealed at the beginning of the month that she tested positive for COVID-19, and in the days following, the sickness took her to “some very dark places, especially at night. Evenings would bring on an eerie melancholy, which was particularly odd for me — a glass-half-full/chemically blessed kind of gal. But under the influence of coronavirus, as each day came to a close, I would often cry, unable to stave off the sense of dread and isolation I felt about what was to come.”
