Though he was visibly ill, Cuomo pushed through with Cuomo Prime Time Tuesday night, hosting from his basement, where he addressed the positive diagnosis and the fear he felt for his family.

“I tested positive. Scary, yes, as you might imagine. But better me than you. My concern is what I may have put on my family, just like you would. That is hurting me way more than anything the virus can do,” Cuomo said, later adding, “This is not where you wanna be. I mean, look, my basement is great. It’s not gonna be hardship, but I can’t go hug my kids. I can’t be with my family. I can’t go out and get anything for them. And I don’t know what’s gonna come next.”

“I’m hesitant to talk about me because who cares? This is so small compared to what so many are facing,” Cuomo said. “And we’re gonna all go through this together. You’re gonna have stories like mine popping up all over you in your life. You probably do already.”

There was an outpouring of support for Cuomo online.

Hey get well soon!!
