COVID-19 has killed nearly 18,000 people in Italy and nearly 90,000 people worldwide. The World Health Organization says most of those who are dying of the COVID-19 disease are over the age of 60. But, try telling that to Ada Zanusso of Italy. She is 103 years old. She lived through the pandemic (大流行病) of 1918 that killed 50 million people worldwide. Now, she has survived COVID-19.

“I’m well, I’m well,” Zanusso said. She spoke with the reporters over video from a home for older people in the northern Italian town of Lessona. “I watch TV, read the newspapers,” she added. When asked about her fight against COVID-19, Zanusso simply said, “I had some fever.” COVID-19 can cause minor or moderate sickness. Most of those who are infected recover. But those with existing health problem and older people like Zanusso are at a higher risk for more serious illness or even death.

Carla Furno Marchese has been Zanusso’s family doctor for 35 years. She said Zanusso was sick for one week. “We hydrated her because she wasn’t eating, and then we thought she wasn’t going to make it because she was always sleepy and not reacting,” Furno Marchese said.“One day she opened her eyes again and continued doing what she used to before,” the doctor added. What helped her get through the illness? “Courage and strength, faith,” Zanusso said.

To prevent the spread of the COVID-19 in Italy, visitors are not permitted to enter nursing homes, where many older people live. Zanusso's doctor asked her what she would like to do when “they open the doors” again. “I’d like to take a lovely walk,” she answered. She added that she looks forward to watching her three great-grandchildren play together again.
