“Relentless, scary, and lonely,” is how CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin describes the “two-week beating” of COVID-19. In a heartfelt essay posted on CNN.com, Baldwin writes about …
that “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. I was fighting constant body aches. In the evenings, I started a habit of climbing into the bathtub for 45 to 60 minutes just to try to use the hot water to distract my skin from the all-encompassing ache that would begin in my lower extremities — the kind of ache that only two extra-strength Tylenol could eventually dull.
Baldwin revealed on April 3 that she’d tested positive for the coronavirus, writing on Instagram that the chills, fever and aches had come on quickly but that she was otherwise healthy, with no underlying conditions. The CNN anchor recalls the earliest symptom: “I can remember the day before I lost my ability to taste or smell. I kept smelling the acrid ammonia-like odor of jewelry cleaner. Except there wasn’t any jewelry cleaner in sight.
