Whether it was the power of her prayers or her T-cells that did it, 116-year-old French nun Lucile Randon has survived Covid-19.
The nun, whose religious name is Sister Andre, is the second-oldest known living person in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group, which validates details of people believed to be aged 110 or older.
French media report that the nun tested positive for the virus in mid-January in the southern French city of Toulon. But just three weeks later she is fit as a fiddle — albeit in in her regular wheelchair. She is even healthy enough to look forward to her 117th birthday on Thursday.
She told Var-Matin newspaper "I didn't even realise I had it".
