OK. Here's a 'feel good' Covid-19 story for you
New Jersey's own 106 year old Jeanette Arlotta isofficially the oldest person to recover from Covid-19.
She was living on her own, up until 6 months ago, when she moved into a nursing home.
While there, she became infected with the virus, and has fought hard to conquer it.
She currently tested negative for the virus and her isolation period in the hospital ends this Saturday, which coincidently is her 107th birthday.
Congratulations & Happy Birthday go out to her in being a survivor in more ways than one !
She epitomizes the term - Jersey Tough !
