A 95-year-old World War II vet living in Oregon has beaten COVID-19, according to a report.
“Grandpa Bill’s pretty hardcore,” his granddaughter, Rose Ayers-Etherington, 41, told the newspaper.
Kelly, who lived through the Great Depression and was among the first US soldiers to set foot in the South Pacific during WWII, started feeling unwell with a low-grade fever on March 15, the newspaper reports.
Due to several underlying medical conditions, including kidney disease, a congenital heart condition and high blood pressure, Kelly went to a hospital and was kept overnight, Ayers-Etherington said.
“In his words, ‘I survived the foxholes of Guam, I can get through this [coronavirus] bullsh*t,’” she wrote. “He has strong mental resolve. He has seen tough times and knows how to get through them.”
