CBS News's Lesley Stahl revealed her coronavirus diagnosis over the weekend while also praising healthcare workers. It was in a video at the end of Sunday's episode of 60 Minutes that she confirmed she and several other colleagues were diagnosed with the virus. "I was one of the more than 1 million Americans who did ," Stahl says in the video message. "I wasn't alone from this broadcast." "Tonight, we all owe them our gratitude, our admirations - and in some cases, our lives," she says, referencing the healthcare workers on the frontlines of this pandemic. Other colleagues diagnosed with the virus include CNN's Chris Cuomo and Brooke Baldwin and CBS journalist Maria Mercader, who sadly died as a result in late March.

Some had no symptoms while others had every symptom in the book. In Stahl's case, she had been home for a while trying to recover on her own, dealing with pneumonia and other unpleasant effects of the virus. It became so bad that she admitted herself to a hospital, where they treated her until she was completely healed.
