David Nuño, the abc13 KTRK weekend sports anchor, took to Twitter on Christmas Day to let us know he has been in quarantine during a battle with COVID-19.
We just learned this month that legendary channel 13 anchor Melanie Lawson battled COVID-19 (click through to watch her story on Inside Edition). KTRK anchor Chauncy Glover was the first Houston anchor to publicly say they battled COVID.
Here is a partial transcript of Nuño's video to viewers:
I've been out three weeks from the station and two weeks from being on air. I had the coronavirus.
My parents got it first. Then I ended up getting it. And, I had I would say, I had it good compared to most people. I would say mine wasn't that bad.
But I tell everyone that I felt like Baby Yoda, because I would be fine, and then all of a sudden I would be so exhausted I'd have to take a nap. But I have to use my force and then I'd be done. I'd be wiped out.
Nuño was able to do a "No Layups" YouTube podcast with partner Raheel Ramzanali where no doubt Houston Rockets srar James Harden was the topic.
Well wished poured into Twitter for Nuño from the likes of fellow abc13 anchor Elissa Rivas, former FOX 26 reporter Lindsey Henry, Houston Chronicle Texans writer Stephanie Stradley and current Sports Talk 790 KBME host Adam Wexler (formerly of KPRC 2).
Nuño, a former 1560 The Game KGOW and Yahoo! Sports Radio sports talk show host, started working for KTRK in 2012.
