Klobuchar shares the story of her husband’s bout with coronavirus

Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Friday said her husband has “turned the corner” in his battle with coronavirus, a positive turn of events after the Minnesota senator said he was put on oxygen after „coughing up blood.“

“I think a lot a people have it worse than we did, in that he got out of the hospital,“ Klobuchar said on CNN. „He had a temperature over 100 degrees for ten days, and then he ended up going in after he was coughing up blood for tests and X-rays. They checked him right away and said he had pneumonia. And he was on oxygen for four or five days, and then somehow turned the corner, and he’s now recovering at home. They still don’t know when he won’t be contagious, so I am going to go wave to him outside the window.“

Klobuchar said she wasn’t tested for the virus because she hasn’t been in contact with her husband, 52-year-old John Bessler, since he began having symptoms. The Minnesota senator is staying with Sen. Tina Smith while Bessler, an attorney and law professor, recovers alone in their apartment.
