NEW YORK (AP) CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl said Sunday that shes finally feeling well after a battle with COVID-19 that left her hospitalized for a week.
Stahl said she was really scared after fighting pneumonia caused by the coronavirus for two weeks at home before going to the hospital.
One of the rules of journalism is dont become part of the story, Stahl said at the end of Sundays broadcast. But instead of covering the pandemic, I was one of the more-than-one-million Americans who did become part of it.
Stahl, 78, is the dean of correspondents at televisions best-known newsmagazine. She joined 60 Minutes in March 1991, and before that was moderator of the Sunday talk show Face the Nation and a Washington correspondent.
