FfFfFfFF 58,062 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 A 106-year-old woman is thought to be Britain’s oldest patient to recover from coronavirus, after being discharged from Birmingham’s City hospital. Connie Titchen spent three weeks in hospital with the virus, but was given a clean bill of health by doctors this week. “I think the secret of her old age is that she is physically active and very independent. She had a hip operation back in December and within 30 days she was walking again. “She really is amazing and I know all the family can’t wait to see her. She has quite a few fans!” Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS trust said Titchen, who has eight great-grandchildren, was admitted to hospital with suspected pneumonia and diagnosed with coronavirus soon afterwards. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/15/woman-106-leaves-hospital-after-being-treated-for-coronavirus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife 7,079 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Aw, good for her. I hope she's able to enjoy the time she has left. News like this would make me hopeful, but I just learned that my childhood friend's father just died of coronavirus and they had no underlying conditions. The unpredictability of the virus has me worried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
