A 97-year-old woman in North Carolina recovered from COVID-19 after spending 3 weeks in the hospital. “I feel good,” she told NBCNews.

After testing positive for COVID-19, Tyson was quarantined and treated at a local hospital near her home in Greenville, NC for a few days, and then was discharged too early, according to Haddock.

“She was really dehydrated,” said Haddock, who later placed Tyson at Novant Health Rowan Medical Center in Salisbury, NC where she was treated with IV fluids. Haddock said that he was determined to help Tyson battle the deadly virus and, with permission from her doctor, he visited her three times a day for three weeks to feed and take care of her. During visits he was required to wear personal protective equipment, like a mask and gloves, according to Haddock.Over the span of three weeks, Tyson gradually recovered from the virus and on July 24 she was discharged.

Haddock’s fiancé, Val Robinson, who is a retired nurse, said that it is crucial for patients to have family support and credited the hospital for saving Tyson’s life.Haddock added, “Do all you can to go in there to see them because when you turn the older people loose they lose faith. Their family is the one that keeps them going.”

Hey NBC, can you post this stuff when people recover from the Flu too? 99.96% survival rate

Hallelujah 🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️

Yes, it can happen!! My mother 93 survived Covid, was in the hospital for 2 weeks then rehab. Memory problems but improving.

One black woman they didn't let die. I wonder waa her case a serious case or was she hospitalized because of her age.

She survived the cops for 97 years so I’m not the least bit surprised by her kicking covids ass

Thought that was Jacob for a second

Just fluids? What medicine did she get?

Well she can go back to work to pay back the $150,000 medical bills

❤️ Trying to have hope for my 84 year old grandmother. She was admitted on Thursday and tested positive.

Good genes.

So happy for her and her loved ones. God bless.

Amen

Quite a few people over 90 World 🌍 Wide, especially in Italy 🇮🇹 India 🇮🇳 & Britain 🇬🇧 have recovered from Covid19. A gift 🎁 from the 1918 Pandemic perhaps? 🧐

Wait I’m confused. Aren’t we led to believe that catching it is the worst thing possible and that you’ll most likely die from it? I call fake news here - she’s probably dead and media is hiding it
