A 101-year-old Italian man born during the Spanish flu pandemic has reportedly survived a coronavirus infection as the outbreak continues to ravage his country and spread globally.

Gloria Lisi, the vice mayor of Rimini, a city on the coast of the Adriatic Sea in the Italian north, said the man had been released from a hospital earlier this week and returned to his family. She identified him only as Mr. P.

"He made it. Mr. P. made it," said Lisi, according to the ANSA news agency.

Lisi said the man was admitted to a hospital in Rimini last week and tested positive for COVID-19. She noted that he was born in 1919 and has seen the world change dramatically over the course of his life.

"He saw everything, Mr. P. War, hunger, pain, progress, crisis, and resurrections,” she said.

I hope he got it as a result of civil disobedience and makes a full recovery all on his own.

True. And he’s “Italian,” but too young to be 101. Maybe Frank Costanza? But doesn’t start with P.

Peterman? Nah.

Now, Poppy! He’s Italian. And he survived being sloppy!

This is such an un-pc article vlaming the 1918 flu on the Spanish.

Where’s the faux libtard outrage?
