NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A 102-year-old woman who was diagnosed with the coronavirus defied the odds and is now recovering.
At 102 years old, Sophie Avouris, of Yonkers, has seen a lot in her life, entering this world in 1918 at the start of the Spanish flu.
“She survived it, thank goodness,” her daughter, Effie Strouthides, said.
Strouthides says back in March, doctors at a Manhattan nursing home and rehab facility called to tell her Avouris, who was recovering at the facility from hip surgery, tested positive for COVID-19.
“And we were thinking at 102 years old, at high risk, she might not make it,” Strouthides said.
Because the facility was on lockdown, Strouthides called her mom to have a conversation that she thought would be the last.
“Once or twice I managed to let her know how much I loved her and she told me how much she loved me,” she said.
According to the CDC, 8 out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been adults who are 65 and older.
Dr. Taimur Mirza oversaw Avouris’ care and says her prognosis initially was not good.
“Her course in the beginning, it was a little bit rough. For a while there, she required some oxygen, then we started her on the combination of the hydroxychloroquine and the azithromycin,” Mirza said.

Dr Trump to icu STAT!
Hydroxychloroquine and the azithromycin ping.
While recovering from hip surgery!?
Kick arse and take names, Avouris! :)
” then we started her on the combination of the hydroxychloroquine and the azithromycin,”
You don’t say. Thank you, President Trump.
Say, I've heard about that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (plus zinc) working wonders before... but it is all anecdotal, so I presume they must be mistaken about this treatment having worked. It must have been an accidental recovery.
The bureaucrats need to get out of the way and let the doctors get this treatment out into the mainstream.
.
I cannot help but suspect that if the Trump Drugs were half as bad and
dangerous as “they” wish they were, they would be demanding that all
“Boomers” be forced to take them.
Like Gate’s Vaccines.
Maybe the Spanish Flu was really a Cornavirus.
This is a deadly and horrendously dangerous irresponsible risky drug per Don Lemon.
I don’t get it. Why haven’t they edited this article to omit the HCQ part? Their editorial standards have gone to the dogs....
We love Trump because he is one of us. Except much more wealthy lol
He SEES something and he believes what his eyes tell him without Over Analyzing everything to death!!
“Hey here’s a drug that seems to be helping a lot of people, according to some reports and lots of anecdotal evidence. Let’s try it. It’s not an incredibly dangerous drug so let’s start rocking and rolling with it.”
“It cant’ be that easy you simple minded fool!!!! It never is!!! It will take decades and decades to find a treatment and then a vaccine that you will need to get if you want food!!!!”
But of course it was that simple and it is effective and nancy pelousy will never get her 4th stimulus and her warning to Trump to not open up business in May is Worthless.
SISOLAK OF NEVADA AND CUOMO OF NEW YORK AND OTHER POLITICAL SCUM COMMITTED MURDER BY FIAT WHEN THEY STOPPED THE SALE OF HCQ, ZINC AND ARITROMYCIN.
You don’t get to be that old with a weak immune system...she may actually be less vulnerable than others.
Psst. Don’t tell Andrew Cuomo. This is just anecdotal.
But Rachel Maddow says hydroxychloroquine is unproven.
Great!!
She is 102 years old. So just to sure, try to convince her to donate her DNA to science. She just might be more indestructible than Keith Richards or Ozzy Osbourne.
a miracele ...that i am in before anecdotal
Nah. Probably the bourbon and cigars.
