Andy Cohen – Age 52
Like many other brave media workers, Andy Cohen chose to continue running his show Watch What Happens Next, even during the pandemic lockdown. But on 20 March, Cohen took to Instagram to announce that he had to stop shooting the show because he tested positive for coronavirus.
Cohen said he would have loved to have been able to push through with the show, but opted to focus on getting better instead so that he could be 100%. After recovering, Cohen voiced his disdain at the fact that he can’t donate his plasma because he is gay. These are FDA standard rules, which he has called antiquated and discriminatory.
