On this 50th anniversary of Earth Day, show kindness toward our planet and every creature who inhabits it, as the transcendent photographer, adventurer, preservationist and raconteur Peter Beard advised us. My old friend’s recent death offers an eerily timely punctuation on this virus and a reminder that we can’t forget to protect one another, and the animals that roam the Earth. ???????????? This virus has created a different version of me. My hope is to be stronger, healthier, smarter about the virus at large. ????????????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. My heart hurts more than my head over his infection. This virus does not discriminate. While kids are more resilient, they can suffer same severity of symptoms. I’m applying a modified version of my remedies for his protocol with a focus on lots of vitamins. Since his sense of smell and taste have disappeared, I am feeding him healthy foods that I normally can’t get him to touch. I kept a diary of the past week including my remedies and things that I did to stay sane through it all. ???? Link in bio, as they say.

“This virus has created a different version of me. My hope is to be stronger, healthier, smarter about the virus at large,” Cristina captioned a series of photos of her family. “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.”

“My heart hurts more than my head over his infection,” she continued. “This virus does not discriminate. While kids are more resilient, they can suffer [the] same severity of symptoms.”

Cristina is taking care of Mario by “applying a modified version of [her] remedies for his protocol” along with feeding him “lots of vitamins.” (RELATED: ‘Beating Me Like A Pinata’: Chris Cuomo Says Chills From Coronavirus Fever Left Him With A Chipped Tooth)

“Since his sense of smell and taste have disappeared, I am feeding him healthy foods that I normally can’t get him to touch,” Cristina revealed.

Chris first announced his coronavirus diagnosis in March. Meanwhile, Cristina was diagnosed roughly two weeks later.

Chris recently reunited with his family after self-isolating for weeks.
