A 102-year-old Italian woman recovers from coronavirus

A 102-year-old woman has recovered from coronavirus in the northern Italian city of Genoa after spending more than 20 days in hospital, doctors who treated her and her nephew told CNN.

"We nicknamed her 'Highlander' – the immortal," said doctor Vera Sicbaldi who treated Italica Grondona in the San Martino hospital in Genoa. "Italica represents a hope for all the elderly facing this pandemic" Sicbaldi added. The average age of those who have tested positive for coronavirus and subsequently died in Italy is 78, according to the country's National Health Institute."She only had some mild coronavirus symptoms, so we tested her and she was positive, but we did very little, she recovered on her own," Sicbaldi added.

Grondona left the hospital on March 26 and will now spend time recovering in a care home."I don’t know what her secret is, but I know she is a free and independent woman," her nephew Renato Villa Grondona told CNN. Her only son died in the US a few decades ago. Grondona's nephew said she suffered from death."But she loves life, dancing and music, she loves Freddy Mercury and Valentino Rossi," Villa Grondona said, referring to the multiple MotoGP World champion.

Trump would have not treated her to protect his business assets.

I assume someone will be along to challenge her to a sword fight for her head shortly

Nothing is impossible! Let’s celebrate it! 👏👏

🙏🙏👏👏👏👏

Average age of Italy dead is 81

sparks of hope :)

JMTucker8 Such good news. Wonderful!

Apparently, the world is filled with people with inferior genetics to this woman. She is supposed to be here. Good for her!

GOD bless her, hope all infected by this virus to have the same recovery.

What cnn told a positive story I thought all they enjoyed was given people panic.

She told the virus, “No” And the virus complied

She is the real proverbial Cat with nine lives, Kudos to her

This is a beautiful picture where the human spirit has gracefully triumphed against all odds! 🙏

Peace2earth9 Thank God

KassyDillon So the reports about people older than 80 not receiving care were not true?

KassyDillon So a 102-yr-old woman spent more than 20 days in the hospital with COVID-19 and CNN can’t be bothered to find out what meds they gave her. Now that’s one “news” channel I’ll never watch.

God is good. 😃❤️

Wow! God heals! 😍

Congratulations!!

trump has left us so unprepared in the US people like this will not be helped. FU trump and Pence!

Awesome to see this good news❣️❣️

Praises in The Highest!!! Seems worth looking into why? Why are these elderly surviving when most others don’t? What do they have in common? Have they suffered and recovered from any particular viruses before? Seems they have a more robust immunity than most elderly.

Coronavirus cases keep surging as California officials move to protect workers and rentersThe push to protect renters comes as the number of coronavirus deaths continued to rise across California, with 102 deaths and 4,905 cases reported across California. The result will be banks owning your apartment instead of independent landlords. Then they'll hire heartless management companies who will kick you out onto the street when this is over. 🤷‍♀️ Covid2019 sharing some tip: The State will soon be bankrupted. It’s already deeply in debt, despite the disposition of public officials. Adding to the strain are at least 2 million illegal migrants who draw heavily on taxpayer funded services and a vast population of sick & dying street people.
