An 83-year-old man was infected with COVID-19 around the New Year, with about 3/4 of his lungs turning white on a CT image. He had to rely on oxygen machines to stay alive. When his son was ready to accept the worst possible outcome, he made an unexpected and miraculous recovery.

The elderly Chinese man who lives in Jilin City, Jilin Province, collapsed at home in early January this year after contracting COVID-19, and was taken to a hospital for emergency treatment.
