I know two 97 yr olds in terrible health who beat the Kung Flu. It's really remarkable how much of a bitch virus this is.

Anyone know someone older who beat it?

I don’t know a single person who’s had it. Only heard second and third hand reports from acquaintances of acquaintances.

I've known 10 people who have had it including BIL and SIL and their daughter. They recovered but an aquantance, someone I maybe met twice, died. Probably in their 50s. One other friend was hospitalized for 3 or 4 days.

She had a rough 3-4 day stretch when we thought we'd have to admit her to a hospital, but she fought threw it and came out on the other side. Her doctor called it a miracle.

Only personally know about 3 folks who’ve had it.

The oldest of them is ~60 and also a sibling to a former LSU Football All-American.

So there’s that.

Surprised there is that many that don't know anybody that has had it. I personally know 17 people that have tested positive. Most had only mild to flu like symptoms. 2 hospitalized and one in vent.

My aunt, 63, is the oldest I personally know that has beat it.
Her sisters, 61 and 56, as well.

All are back at work and have none of the stuff everyone hears about from the media. No long-term side effects or organ damage

I know 8 people who have had it. One common factor in severity seems to be blood type. Of the 8, the 3 with typeA blood were hit way harder than the 5 with type O blood.
