Italy, a country in the grip of the world’s worst novel coronavirus epidemic, celebrated the remarkable recovery of a 101-years-old man from the Covid-19.
The man, identified only as Mr. P, was hospitalized about a week ago and discharged on Thursday after fighting off the virus, his town of Rimini said in a statement.
According to Rimini’s Deputy Mayor, Gloria Lisi, it is in the darkest of times that certain stories take on a broader meaning.
