World War II veteran beats Covid, marks 104th birthday

"I'm just thankful that they were able to treat him so quickly and we were able to get him tested," said McDonald, adding: "It's amazing that a 104 year old survived COVID." Madison Hospital shared video of Wooten wearing a face mask and waving while workers sang "Happy birthday dear Pop Pop" as he was discharged in a wheelchair decorated with balloons on Tuesday, two days before his actual birthday.
