From The Hill
Angelina Friedman, who survived the 1918 Spanish Flu and cancer, first tested positive for COVID-19 in March. During her first bout with the disease she had a relatively mild experience.
"She was never really symptomatic the first time around," her daughter Joanne Merola told NBC. "The worst symptom she had was a fever that lasted maybe 10 days."
Upon contracting the virus a second time in October, shortly before her birthday, she got seriously ill.
The centenarian is now nearly deaf and has lost most of her vision, but is recovering well and feeling like her old self again, Merola said.
[EDITOR'S NOTE—COVID-19 is a very serious illness. Ms. Friedman's case(s) are newsworthy specifically because the outcome was remarkable and uncommon.]
