A US veteran who spent the Second World War repairing bomb-damaged trains in France, recovered from Covid-19 in time to mark his 104th birthday. Major Wooten, from Alabama, was physically drained and a little fuzzy mentally after contracting coronavirus, but appears to be on the mend, his granddaughter Holley Wooten McDonald said. “I’m just thankful that they were able to treat him so quickly and we were able to get him tested,” said Ms McDonald, adding: “It’s amazing that a 104-year-old survived Covid.”
