Here’s some good news!
Mexico, much like the rest of the world, is still grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. Don’t worry, that’s not the good news. As the country closes in on 800,000 cases, there’s at least one they can deduct from that total. That case belongs to a beautiful woman known as Doña María, who just recovered from the virus at 103 years old. Yes, you read that right – 103.
The virus poses a more severe risk to those who are of older age with underlying health conditions. Despite María also battling a chronic pulmonary disease, she defied the odds and was discharged from the hospital after 11 days of treatment. In a touching moment, the staff of Hospital General Regional No. 110 in Guadalajara, Jalisco lined up to congratulate the guerrera on her recovery.
