Sixty-eight-year-old Tom Panocha was the first in the U.S. to get the novel coronavirus via person-to-person transmission in January. 

He caught the virus from his wife, who had returned from visiting family in Wuhan. 

Although the entire family is cleared and back to work, the trauma of the experience remains. 

Tom and his son David talked with CGTN's Dan Williams in Chicago.
