How a 104-year-old Survived Coronavirus
|
William "Bill" Lapschies, a 104-year-old World War II veteran, has recovered from coronavirus, making him the oldest survivor of the pandemic in the United States. Two others in their 100’s also survived--one in Italy and one in China.
Bill, who also survived the Spanish flu, reportedly recovered from coronavirus just in time for his 104th birthday. He came down with symptoms of the virus on March 5 and was isolated in his room at the nursing home where he resides. On March 11, a test came back positive for COVID-19. Luckily, his doctors said he only had a mild case of coronavirus and did not develop respiratory symptoms that might have
required the use of a ventilator.
Coronavirus has been a major concern of health experts as the deadly virus has been spreading among seniors in some long-term care facilities. Seniors are at a much higher risk of facing more serious illness from the disease. The nursing home where Bill lives has seen 16 coronavirus cases among residents and two deaths.
A Positive Attitude Promotes Healing
Asked how he survived, Lapschies, who is a loving great-grandfather with a fun, easygoing, positive personality said with a laugh: “I don’t know. ... It just went away. Sit out here and you can get rid of anything.”
According to research, staying positive can put you in a better position to heal your body. If you’re constantly worrying and focusing on negative aspects of your life, it’s easy for you to enter a sympathetic state. This state (which is sometimes referred to as
“fight-or-flight” mode) can increase tension and levels of inflammation throughout the body. Being in that state is not conducive to recovery.
