Man released from coronavirus quarantine can’t stop coughing on Live TV, video goes viral

Frank Wucinski began to cough enough to need water during the interview, although he said: “Physically we’re great”. The video clip has gone viral online.

According to reports, Wucinski’s father-in-law had died in China from COVID-19 infection, and the family was placed in isolation after they attended a memorial service in Wuhan. He, however, assured the TV anchors that he had been tested negative twice for the virus. He paused to drink from his daughter’s water bottle, which she puts back in her mouth after he took a sip. “The cough, probably just nerves,” Wucinski added.

The deadly novel coronavirus has left more than 2,800 people dead in China and slowly spreading across the globe. To prevent the spread of coronavirus, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended avoiding touching your face, covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue, and frequent hand washing and not sharing things like water bottles which may pass on the virus.

People freaked out on Twitter after seeing the father and daughter drinking water from the same bottle. Below are some reactions.

Good luck to the next person who gets hooked up to that mic he just coughed all over 😬

Ok, this is worse than I thought it would be. He shares the water bottle with his daughter? Wut? Please tell me this is some reverse psy-ops. Because I want to disinfect my phone screen after watching this. https://t.co/b5R9JMCKzR

This is like one of those first-act scenes in a dystopian sci-fi film, showing us when it all began https://t.co/dmm001Gxt2

when he grabs his daughter’s water bottle and gives it right back to her was like a scene right out of Outbreak.
