1. Wishing you well Woz!

2. The ones that call a congressman?

Because they were quarantined.

3. Let the conspiracy theories commence!

4. I thought Apples

didn't get viruses.

5. So, Is he implying they were walking around a sport institute and be have been exposed to the virus?

That's not good and there could possibly be hundreds of people like this.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. No, he's saying that's where they are now, getting it checked out.

[MagickMuffin]

10. Thx for the clarification

But there are probably a lot of travelers who could be infected and not even know it.

6. Just now getting checked after two months?

More likely a persistent cough from pollution, respiratory infection, etc

7. Are you saying they're going viral?

9. Poor rich Wozniaks - did he need to feel guilty for something?

Do affluent folks who afforded a business trip/vacation to China or a cruise now feel so special due to their "exposure," quarantined or not, that they'd even announce the possibility of being the first one to bring it home and spread it around simply by reason of his spouse's lingering cough? And go on to promote use of the app? What a douche to lay claim to that! On his mind? Huh.

The annual ArnoldFest is about to convene in our city - Because we have both international and domestic flights arriving here, as well as interested locals and lots of students, I'm keeping an eye on the updates with concern!

13. For a rich guy Wozniak isn't a bad apple.

Apple itself went full suckage evil when Wozniak sold most of his stock and left.

The Macintosh was created by Satan to stifle human progress.

So were modern cell phones.

Apple is now a subsidiary of Hell.

Steve Jobs died so he could manage the company from home.

15. Yes, some have blamed Apple for the perceived imminent fall of civilization...

...but as it turns out, when personifying it, they may have been thinking of the wrong Steve.

11. I believe "Index Patient" is the proper term.

Not to be picky or anything.

I hope the great and incredible Woz and his family get well.

[MoonlitKnight]

12. I thought the term was

“Outbreak monkey”.

14. LOL!!! nt
