Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour put on her best British, stiff-upper lip face today when she announced on Instagram that her doctor son, Charles Shaffer has tested positive for COVID-19 and is self quarantining at home.
The 35-year-old Shaffer is a chief resident at NY Presbyterian-Well Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan. He is married to Elizabeth Shaffer and they have two young children together. In the video, Wintour noted her son will return to work at the hospital’s ICU when he recovers.
Wintour opened the visual with news that Vogue has partnered with the Tom Ford-led Council of Fashion Designer of America (CFDA) to create the Common Thread fund to raise funds for U.S.-based members of the fashion community hardest hit by the impact of coronavirus.
