A great-grandmother who contracted the coronavirus while a resident at The Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington, where 35 people have died is now in recovery and may soon be released from isolation.

Geneva Wood, 90, was among the two-thirds of the care home's residents who fell ill with the coronavirus and had said her goodbyes to her family before making a miraculous recovery last week.

She believes it was the homemade soup that she asked medical staff for every day which aided her speedy recovery.

Just shows that cancelling the St. Pat’s Day parades and celebrations was counterproductive.

Dems say Trump knew about this last week and kept it from the country.

We had a relative who contracted the Spanish flu as a child, survived it, and lived to over 100.

I think some folks are just blessed with good genes.

How many lived in her family after the flu swept through it?

Did she credit anything for saving her?

Potato soup can be prescribed under compassionate use until the FDA completes the required 24 months of trials.

Go, Granny! Go!

My Dad’s ‘home’ is completely in lock down. They’re doing a really good job, IMHO. He’s in good hands until we’re on the other side of this.
