JERICHO, N.Y. -- Anna Fortunato, a 90-year-old survivor of COVID-19, has a message for the rest of us:
Do not be afraid. Do not despair.
"Keep on fighting, have that positive attitude, and pray," she says. "And get out of bed. Don't stay in bed all the time. ... And I want to say to them, 'If I did it, you can do it.'"
That she is here to advise others is something of a surprise to Fortunato herself.
"In the hospital, they said I was a miracle," said the Long Island woman, a daughter of Italian immigrants born the year the stock market crashed. "Maybe I was. But I worked at it, let me tell you something."

WABC fails to give credit to Trump, but I don't. :)
n desperation, Gund said, Fortunato’s doctors administered an anti-malaria drug repeatedly touted by President Donald Trump. Its safety or effectiveness against the coronavirus have not been proven; some preliminary reports suggest it might help, but there is no way to know whether it has aided in the recovery of any particular patient.
That’s impossible. I’ve been told everywhere that people of that age have such a limited chance for recovery that it’s not even worth giving them precious medical supplies. /s
“Anecdotal” will be the cry of every ‘Chicken Little’ corporate media hack as well as every doomsday prepper Freeper on this forum.
Amazing how you have a 90 year old lady with the deadly virus and given the Hyrdroxy C. treatment.
I am sure she is a strong woman, but no way does she survive without the Hydroxy C. meds!
No Way.
Have the arrested the physician yet?
WARNING: a video plays at maximum volume AUTOMATICALLY at the link!
Whoever is responsible for such thing should be executed.
A dozen executions would put a stop to such nonesense.
“Anecdotal”
The left will hide this as long as they can, to withhold from Trump the credit he deserves.
I have no doubt that she will get lots of hate mail from the left.
Dr. Siegel of FOX dad survived CV19 with the drug combo he is 94!,,
Sounds just like my grandparents.
“We WORKED for our miracles!”
The article does mention Trump.
See tagline. The HCQ cocktail needs a handle!
I’m a believer in taking your best shot. If I were in that situation and the drug had never been tried on a human, I’d go for it.
I also believe in a scientific study: give it to anybody who believes it may work, and deny it for an equal number of TDS-afflicted asshats. We’ll tally up the results later...
Good luck, boys & girls!
Thanks for sharing. Even ignoring the “political issues”, it is encouraging that people can and do survive, even at advanced ages.
“Anna Fortunato”
LOL!
I was totally going to joke that he name must have been Anna Dotal!
Anna Fortunato - appropriately named.
