60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl said Sunday that she's 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 'don't become part of the story,'" Stahl said at the end of Sunday's 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 television's best-known newsmagazine.
She joined CBS' 60 Minutes in March 1991, and before that was moderator of the Sunday talk show Face the Nationand a Washington correspondent.
