101-Year-Old Italian Man Has ‘Truly Extraordinary’ Recovery From The Coronavirus

According to CNN, a 101-year-old man from Italy has made an incredible recovery from the coronavirus. Italy has the highest number of people getting infected by the novel virus, and the number of deaths is rising by the day.

The elderly man, known only as Mr. P, was admitted to a hospital in Rimini, Italy, after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. Although the elderly are high risk for the virus, Mr. P fully recovered on Thursday.

The Deputy Mayor of Rimini, Gloria Lisi, describes his recovery as “truly extraordinary” and has brought “hope for the future.” She added, “Mr. P made it. The family brought him home yesterday evening. To teach us that even at 101 years, the future is not written.” Mr. P also survived the Spanish Flu in 1919. The Spanish Flu caused between 30 million to 50 million deaths worldwide.

“At 101 years, he lived almost entirely through the past century and then had a glimpse of the new millennium. He has seen everything: war, hunger, pain, progress, crisis, and resurrections,” Lisi said about Mr. P. “And then at the age of over 100 years, fate brought him this new challenge, invisible and terrible at the same time. … When the tragic news reports tell us daily of a virus that is dangerous above all to the elderly, there is hope for all of us in the story of a person of this age.”

The city of Rimini reportedly has 1,189 confirmed cases of COVID-19 out of more than 80,000 in Italy as of Thursday. Italy has reportedly more deaths than any other country with an estimated total of 8,215 deaths. Spain is closest behind with an estimate of 64,059 confirmed cases and 4,858 deaths.
