Via CBC News: 109-year-old celebrates birthday days after recovering from COVID-19. Excerpt:
An Edmonton woman is celebrating her 109th birthday — just days after beating COVID-19.
Katie Bunio, born Oct. 30, 1911, is living through her second pandemic.
The great-great-grandmother was joined by family members from all over Canada for a virtual birthday party on Friday. She's a resident of the Shepherd's Care Foundation's Mill Woods long-term care facility, currently experiencing a coronavirus outbreak that has been connected to more than 100 infections. Bunio was declared recovered from a bout with the disease three days ago.
When asked how she feels at 109, Bunio had her answer ready. "The same as nine."
