LOS ANGELES: Rachel Maddow made an emotional return Thursday to her MSNBC show, saying her partners bout with COVID-19 was so serious they thought it might kill her.
Maddow has been off the air for roughly two weeks since disclosing she had been in close contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus. Maddow didnt disclose who it was at the time, but said Thursday evening it was her partner, Susan Mikula.
At one point, we really thought it was a possibility it might kill her and thats why Ive been away, Maddow said.
She is the center of my life, she added.
Maddow said her partner is recovering and will be OK, but that it didnt seem that way at the outset of her illness. Maddow said shes tested negative so far for the virus.
She is the host of MSNBCs most-watched show and did the broadcast from inside her home, encountering some technical difficulties before laying out their coronavirus experience.
Dont get this thing. Do whatever you can to keep from getting it, Maddow said. For Thanksgiving next week, you really are just going to have it at home without people coming over.
Maddow said her quarantine would end soon, but shed be broadcasting like this until its safe for me to be around my coworkers.
