The military is used to remove the coffins of the deceased. Scenes that cause grief worldwide. It is all the better when we also receive messages that give us hope. Like the story of 95-year-old Alma Clara Corsini.
The miracle of Mondena
The 95-year-old woman is the first coronavirus patient to be cured from the hospital in Modena province. In her retirement home she had noticed a slight cough but no other symptoms. She was immediately delivered to the hospital, where her respiratory problems worsened due to the virus, according to a report by the "Gazzetta di Modena". The newspaper also reports that doctors didn't dare to give the old lady anti-retroviral and anti-inflammatory drugs. The right way?
Alma the fighter
