USA Today: Chris Christie says he spent a week in ICU, was 'wrong' to not wear a mask at White House event
7:44 pm EDT Oct. 15, 2020
Former Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday he was "wrong" not to wear a mask in the days before testing positive for COVID-19, but that he felt at that time that he was in a "safe zone" because of frequent testing.
Having spent a week being treated for the disease caused by the coronavirus – in an intensive care unit – Christie said he had a chance for greater reflection about his actions and the virus.
"It is something to take very seriously. The ramifications are wildly random and potentially deadly," Christie said in a statement, first reported by the New York Times.
"No one should be happy to get the virus and no one should be cavalier about being infected or infecting others."
Christie's position and his message to the public is at odds with President Donald Trump, whom he helped prepare for a debate and was also hospitalized with COVID-19. Trump has said he feels great, has entertained large, mask-less crowds at campaign rallies and urged the public, "don't be afraid of COVID."
In contrast, Christie said, "I hope that my experience shows my fellow citizens that you should follow CDC guidelines in public no matter where you are and wear a mask to protect yourself and others.”
