An Italian senior called Mr.P survived 1918 flu and
Covid-19 too. This 101-year-old man recovered from 1918 flu pandemic that killed around 600,000 Italians
and Covid- 19 killed 3,292 italians so far. Mr.P entered last week to Infirmi Hospital in Remini, Italy
after testing positive for COVID-19 and on Wednesday night, the Italian senior
was discharged from the hospital, and taken home by his family.
The case of
this 101-year-old man
inspired the The vice
Mayor of Rimini, Gloria Lisi, to provide a
statement to local newspaper ReminiToday about this incredible
man saying that
“Given the
progress of the virus, it could not even be called a ‘story like many’ if it
were not for a detail that makes the life of the person returned to their loved
ones truly extraordinary.
Mr. P., from Rimini, was born in 1919, in the midst of
another tragic world pandemic. He saw everything, hunger, pain, progress,
crisis and resurrections. Once over the 100-year-old barrier, fate has put this
new challenge before him, invisible and terrible at the same time. Last week,
Mr. P. was hospitalized at in Rimini after testing positive for COVID-19. In a
few days, it became ‘history’ for doctors, nurses, and the rest of the
healthcare personnel who treated him.
A hope for the future finds itself in the body of a
person over a century old, as the sad chronicles of these weeks mechanically
tell every day of a virus that is raging especially on the elderly.
Yet, Mr. P. made it. The family brought him home
yesterday evening, to teach us that even at 101-years-old, the future has yet
to be written.”
This amazing story of this 101-year-old man in resisting 2 critical pandemics like 1918 flu and coronavirus
has brought faith to many patients who are currently suffering in hospitals all
over the world and struggling to defeat this virus.
