Last week, we received some sad news about Michael Strahan, the popular host of Good Morning America. He tested positive for COVID-19, which means he had to take a break from his hosting duties and self-quarantine. However, he did manage to appear remotely for his other job as a voice on NFL Sunday with Fox, which covered the NFC Championship game.
The news about Strahan’s diagnosis came from sources like TMZ and Deadline, although he hasn’t publicly confirmed it yet. Fans of Good Morning America began to speculate about his absence from the show, and it seems their suspicions were right. However, the good news is that Strahan is not experiencing severe symptoms, which is a relief for everyone who cares about him.
As a father of sixteen-year-old twin sisters, Isabella and Sophia, Strahan has to be extra cautious. He did come into contact with them after being exposed to COVID-19, so they are also getting tested to ensure their safety. Strahan’s ex-wife, Jean Muggli, who the twins live with, is undergoing testing as well. We’re still waiting for their test results, but we hope they all stay healthy.
On Thursday, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, Strahan’s co-hosts on Good Morning America, addressed his absence and shared the news about his diagnosis. They assured viewers that Strahan is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the show soon. Both Roberts and Stephanopoulos emphasized that everyone on the set has followed proper protocols and has been cleared to be there, so there’s no need to worry.
While discussing Strahan’s situation, Roberts and Stephanopoulos lightened the mood by joking about how his dog, Enzo, would keep him warm during his recovery. It’s moments like these that remind us of the camaraderie among the Good Morning America team.
We hope Michael Strahan recovers quickly and tests negative for the virus soon. His absence from the show due to the coronavirus will undoubtedly be felt by viewers across the country. Getting a positive COVID-19 test result can be frightening, as the virus has caused so much devastation. We must continue to take this pandemic seriously and follow the necessary precautions to keep ourselves and others safe. Together, we can overcome this challenging time.
