A 100-year-old man has recovered from coronavirus and returned home after fighting off the deadly disease, according to Chinese state media.
The pensioner, who was receiving treatment at a hospital in Wuhan, China, is the oldest known person to have recovered after contracting the virus, reports Xinhua news agency.
He was among more than 80 patients who had been diagnosed and since gone on to recover - with all being discharged from a wing of Hubei Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital on Saturday.
The pensioner managed a recovery despite suffering from underlying health conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension and heart failure.
He was first admitted to hospital on February 24 and received a range of treatments from military doctors.
Health officials across the world have warned the elderly, vulnerable and those with weaker immune systems are more at risk of contracting the virus and then going on to suffer complications.
However, England’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said "the great majority" of older patients will survive.
He said last week: "Even in the most vulnerable, oldest groups, in a very stressed health service – which Hubei was at the point when most of the data came out – the great majority of people who caught this virus – and not everybody will – survived it.
"The great majority, over 90 per cent. "I think it’s easy to get a perception that if you are older and you get this virus then you’re a goner – absolutely not, the great majority of people will recover from this virus, even if they are in their 80s."

“The pensioner managed a recovery despite suffering from underlying health conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension and heart failure”
I might believe this if it had happened with US health care or Israeli Health Care.
No way do I believe it from Commie CHia...although it might be true...slim possibility
cool
This could be true if he was well connected to the powers that be in China
Some poor schlub off the street...no way
No way.
Now that he’s overcome that ordeal and has been released by the hospital, the last thing I want to read is that he’s been eaten by a killer whale.
If its true that this man recovered God Bless Him..but I dont believe anything from China, they gave this virus to the world, its on them and I will never forgive them for passing this crap around
Badoest man on the planet. No doubt...
It was the Alzheimer’s.
He forgot to die.
Could be a grandpa of a head of a Triad. It did say military hospital..so some rich person could have pulled strings
but given his underlying conditions the story does not seem believable
Rats, giant rats, are more likely.
So...can you get again after you have already had it?
100 year-old with Alzheimer’s.... Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Democratic party’s next presidential nominee.

*** “It was the Alzheimer’s. He forgot to die” ***
My uncle has Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s ... my cousin has actually witnessed and reported ... “His Alzheimer’s some days is so bad that sometimes he forgets to shake”
He is 96, he and my aunt are in the same home, he has good days and bad days, and I really hope that I live that long if my EX has to take care of me.
Thanks for the link Tom.
