Good man...
I’m NOT getting on HIS lawn!
Good for him.
That’s another reason why I tell folks not to think they
can’t make it through if they contract COVID-19.
Can’t say for sure they’ll make it, but a number of older
people are.
There’s a reason they were the greatest generation.
Tough S.O.B.... love his attitude.
COVID-19 0
Final score
I heard an interview of this great man today on the Howie Carr radio show!! Incredible.
Here’s a heartwarming story :-)
this can’t be true....they all die don’t they....that’s what I’m lead to believe...
I'm sixty-seven years old and have asthma, a prime candidate for having my ass kicked by the coronavirus if I should get it. Nonetheless, I'd gladly run the small risk of a not-untimely mortality for the sake of people younger than myself and for generations yet to come. If I die it's no tragedy. If the lives of everybody else are destroyed it will be a tragedy far beyond anything that could happen to me at my present age.
The gent looks fit — not only “fit for a 94 year old” but fit.
Keep healthy and you can beat most of the viruses, most of the time.
This is good news, so thank you for posting it
Looks pretty good for 95 years old.
Good for him.
The newspaper reports he started feeling unwell with a low-grade fever on March 15 and was hospitalized overnight due to kidney disease, his congenital heart condition and high blood pressure.
Etherington said they treated Kelly "like a leper" as he spent his first week isolated in a bedroom which he only left wearing a mask and relatives wiped down any surface he touched.
But the stoic vet managed to come out the other end after he spent his isolation period drinking plenty of liquids, watching old movies, and praying.
Thank you,sir and my 2 month old great grandson also thanks you.
I'm 72 with COPD and congestive heart failure. Anything this panicdemic can do to me is far outweighed by the damage done to this nation and it's future by the cure.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -- H.L. Mencken
God bless you and yours!
Maybe he got critically hungry back in the ‘40s and scarfed up a bat in a foxhole on Guam, gaining some immunity in the process. Now that would be toughness. ;)
But seriously, it’s hard to tell why a few have some sort of surprising immunity. Maybe they were simply exposed to a lighter viral load at first. I don’t know.
Piece of cake! Love those old boys!!
Get tough or die. The only way this virus will become less of a problem is immunity. Whether by vaccine or exposure.
