Apple Co-Founder Claims He Was ‘Patient Zero’ Of Coronavirus In The US

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak claims that he and his wife may both have been the first of the patients infected by Coronavirus in the U.S.

Steve, along with his wife had returned from China in the first week of January and noticed his wife Janet’s bad cough. After that he took to his twitter handle and wrote, “Checking out Janet’s bad cough,” stated Wozniak. “Started Jan. 4. We had just returned from China and may have both been patient zero in U.S.”

However, Wozniak’s wife Janet later confirmed that she does not have the coronavirus. She has a sinus infection. The 69-year-old Wozniak added that they were examined at the West Coast Sports Institute in California. Wozniak said that he canceled everything to get back to his home and didn’t come out of bed for two days and couldn’t tell anyone about this and remained away from everyone in Vegas.

The deadly coronavirus outbreak began in Wuhan, a city in China’s Hubei province last year. It has killed nearly 3,100 people across the world, most of them being in China, with a few cases reported in neighbouring countries as well.
