A WWII Vet Recovers From Coronavirus To Celebrate 104th Birthday

A World War II veteran from Oregon has recovered from the coronavirus and did it just in time for his birthday party. William “Bill” Lapschies got his clean bill of health this week and got to ring in his 104th birthday with a socially distanced party with his family.

Bill is believed to be the oldest person to recover from the coronavirus. He’s lived through a lot over the years, including the 1918 Spanish Flu and the Great Depression and he says it feels “pretty good” to be 104.

“I made it,” Bill said. “Good for a few more.”
