Last night, Steve Jobs' ex-partner grabbed his keyboard to share a strange tweet. In it, he claims to have returned fromChinewith his wife just after the start of the zoonosis epidemic there. As a reminder, on site, the case seems more and more serious with evenApple subcontractor factories closedto avoid too rapid spread.
The problem is that the number of victims is now so widespread globally that researchers have difficulty knowing the vectors of its geographical advance. Indeed, to better study the scourge, it is important that scientists identify thepatient zero, the first person to have been infected in each household.
The contaminated couple?
In the message he posted,Wozspecifies that he is currently in a Californian clinic, based in Santa Clara, to carry out additional examinations following a severe cough experienced by his wife. He also jokes about the fact of having been seized by this illness on January 4, upon returning from Asia, a date close to that when COVID-19 arrived in the United States.
