Born in the Spanish flu pandemic in 1919, the 101-year-old created a miracle when he defeated Covid-19.

Gloria Lisi - deputy mayor of the city of Rimini in Northern Italy - is pleased to announce that a 101-year-old resident has just recovered from Covid-19 and was discharged on Thursday afternoon, March 26.

The man, nicknamed Mr P, was hospitalized last week after being positive for the corona virus. The most special thing is that despite his high age and weakness, Mr. P has miraculously recovered and "brought hope into the future".

Deputy Mayor Lisi was moved: "At the age of 101, this man spent most of the last five months of the last century and had a glimpse of the new millennium. He witnessed it all: war, famine, pain, recovery, and rebirth. Then at the age of 101, destiny set for him a new challenge - an enemy both silent and extremely cruel. "

The doctors in Rimini have dedicated themselves to the treatment of this particular patient."With the heartbreaking truth that the virus is the most dangerous for the elderly, we all hope for a fairy tale for the centenarian man."

"In the end, Mr. P has done it! The family welcomed him home yesterday afternoon. He gave us a lesson, that the future still lies ahead even though you are 101 years old" - deputy the mayor was touched.

It is known that Mr. P was born in 1919, right in the middle of the Spanish flu pandemic. This is the most terrible disaster in history, claiming the lives of about 30-50 million people worldwide.
