CNN host Chris Cuomo’s 14-year-old son, Mario, has contracted the coronavirus — following the infections of his father and mother, according to the family.
Chris Cuomo announced his own positive test for COVID-19 about three weeks ago, and he revealed his wife’s diagnosis about two weeks later.
Christina, in turn, posted about Mario’s illness on Instagram Wednesday.
“This virus has created a different version of me. My hope is to be stronger, healthier, smarter about the virus at large,” Christina wrote. “After 10 days of ups and downs, feeling good one-day and terrible the next, I am now working hard to get my son, Mario, through the virus.”
But over Easter weekend, Cuomo was out visiting a property he is developing in East Hampton when he got into a heated argument with a 65-year-old resident out riding a bike.
The man tried to call out Cuomo for not following his quarantine.
“[Cuomo] said, ‘Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want!’” he told the Post last week. “He just ranted, screaming, ‘I’ll find out who you are!’
“I said to him, ‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel,’ ” David said, referring to Cuomo’s brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Chris Cuomo’s son, Mario, is named after his late father, who was New York’s governor for three terms from 1983 to 1994.
