99 year young WWII vet beats Covid

Cool Story!  Good news for a change.

"And now Doncaster pensioner Albert Chambers has shown he’s still made of strong stuff at the age of 99 – by fighting off Covid-19.

Former guardsman Albert, who was wounded during the war and spent three years in a prisoner of war camp, is ready to leave hospital fit and well after winning his battle with Coronavirus this week."

In the pic, he's got the stare that he ain't afraid of anything, and rightfully so.

Great story, thanks for posting it

It seems there are quite a few WWII vets surviving Covid-19. My theory is with the vaccines they received when enlisting or becoming active or what they caught overseas....who knows what they already had in their system. Covid-19 probably ain't shit compared to it.
