Grandfather's 'Miracle' COVID-19 Recovery

[icyfroth]

Let's have a survival story for a change:

Ten days ago, Kathleen Watson thought she'd spoken to her husband Ken for the final time.

The 70-year-old grandfather had lost consciousness and was struggling to breathe – placed in a coma as coronavirus ravaged his body.

He had been without medical care for 12 hours while quarantined in a Perth hotel.

"But today he's got his strong voice back and it was absolutely – it's a miracle," Mrs Watson told 9News.

He will have to return multiple negative test results before he's released into self-isolation with Mrs Watson, who has formed antibodies against the killer virus.

That is interesting that she has formed antibodies without actually having had it! Good news.

Where does it state she has formed antibodies without actually having had it? It only states she "has formed antibodies against the killer virus".

She's formed antibodies after having been in contact with the virus, whilst nursing her sick husband, and not falling ill with it herself! 

Sheesh!

You think?

Yep.

Well...I think, having had exposure to it, and not falling ill with it means you can build immunity to it.

Without falling ill to it yourself.

As has been proven in this case.

I think he must have already had a good immune system to fight it off

But not everybody has that including the young
