Rachel Maddow warns about COVID-19 following partner Susan Mikula's diagnosis

Maddow said Mikula got "sicker and sicker" over the past two weeks but is starting to recover. "Just believe me, whatever you have calculated into your life as acceptable risk, as inevitable risk, something that you're willing to go through in terms of this virus because, hey, statistically it probably will be fine for you and your loved ones, I'm just here to tell you to recalibrate that," Maddow said.She pointed at hospitalization numbers that have drastically increased over the past few weeks. Broadly speaking, Maddow explained, "There isn't room for you in the hospital anymore." The news and politics host acknowledged that people might be more willing to risk themselves now, after dealing with the pandemic for more than half the year, but said the virus doesn't give people the "choice" of who or how hard it will affect someone."I would have done anything, I would have moved mountains for it to have been me who was sick these past couple of weeks instead of Susan.
