Stahl stated that she was very scared after batteling pneumonia that was caused by the COVID-19 for around 14 days at home before she had to be hospitalized.
“One of the rules of journalism is ‘don’t become part of the story, but instead of covering the pandemic, I was one of the more-than-one-million Americans who did become part of it,” Stahl stated at the end of Sunday’s broadcast.

“In the face of so much death, they celebrate their triumphs,” she stated.
60 Minutes refused to say the name the hospital involved.
“Thanks to them, like so many other patients, I am well now,” she said. “Tonight, we all owe them our gratitude, our admiration, and, in some cases, our lives.”
