Sister André, 117 on February 11 and thought to be the second-oldest person alive, survived a coronavirus outbreak that killed 10 people in her care home. “I wasn’t scared because I’m not scared of dying,” she said.

116-Year-Old French Nun, World’s Second-Oldest Person, Beats Covid Infection | NBC News NOW
Wow. That’s strength.
I will never give up,if a 116 year old Sister can survive this plauge…We all can!!
Yes you can!!!!
It will be fine
You might want to check out early
Plague*
you mean virus not plague
Inspiring.
The force is strong with this one!
She would remember the 1918 pandemic as she would have been a teenager! Now she’s survived another one.
@MtGox dude chill she is negative now, if she was positive, reporter wouldn’t go near her.
Immunity has been developed inside her because of contracting with virus and she doesn’t need a mask anymore.
In Asia we used to have more cases than Europeans, we stop wearing mask only our 10-20% population weres mask, still all rates are very low and we have big population than you all, it’s all about immunity, stop eating junk food. Take proper diet.
@MtGox She already recovered and was tested negative. Also she never had any symptoms.
Obviously isn’t a pandemic if someone this old can survive it with no symptoms
@Voodoo Sugar Walls Is cancer also not dangerous because some centenarians can survive it? No one was claiming this virus has a death rate of 100%
@MtGox You’re a moron she doesn’t have the fake virus . Convenient how they say she has COVID knowing she can die any second. Fake news, fake virus . If the guy is concerned, then he can get out of her freaking face. You are the disgusting one and you’re obnoxious. You should go quarantine yourself to your mom’s basement without access to social media so people can be protected from your stupidity.
Catholic of course is she the poster child for Mass vaccination
Fake news…if @NBC News don’t get this 75 y/o PALE MALE IN DRAG tf outta here. #SeniorCitizenDragQueen
Damm if I Ever look like that please Just Shoot me put me outta my misery!
“116-Year-Old French Nun, World’s Second-Oldest Person, Beats Covid Infection” thereby motivating us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica (per #LincolnProject). Thus, we’re hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the #UKvariant strain(s) mutations and others like the South African, Brazilian, Californian & #Cluster5Mink mutations rendering current vaccines no longer effective.
She was 6 years old when titanic went down.
@MtGox im also just asking, what do you mean by embarrassed?
@Bublee I understand. It’s ok. Not your fault.
@MtGox im still confused what this was about?
@Bublee Don’t worry about it. We understand. Just try to use grammar more correctly I guess? idk how else to help you people.
@Bublee You have your own point of view trying to apply it in general.
God mighty hands is on this lady’s life that’s a fact. 🙏
I don’t think you know what a fact is. That’s faith because its what you need to accept because you can’t prove it. Don’t get offended its actually what your priests will tell you as well.
I could easily say Cuthulu or Vishnu did this and you might get offended despite the fact I would have as much “facts” as you
@Bublee why can’t you just let them believe in God?
Words cannot describe the respect.
Let’s be honest she probably doesn’t have a weakened immune system like other old people … something has to be keeping her alive this long and its not god.
Bonne anniversare
What a G ahaha
She got that good skin, come on Sister drop that skin care.
She must be sippin’ that Holy Water from the fountain of youth or something!
Na to look like that I’ll just past away
👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍
She don’t look a day over 95, what a boss
Lol. 🥰 cute.
Stop lying she looks 200 or 300
The incompetent shrine inadvertently hug because burst neurophysiologically tip excluding a direful credit. bustling, mere professor
Communist Party of China must pay for what they have done to the world
Wow. Just incredible.
A Beautiful Soul

Yay finally good news.
Ol Cornpop Joe is an ol kiddie Peep from decades back, this is old news..
Uncle Joe plays with preschoolers in the park urinal, will you help uncle Joe help children tinkle?
Fantastic! One thing about someone so old, is that they must have an amazingly.strong system to have lived so long, anyway, so Covud was just another malady to defeat!
One from 116 milions 😁 🌹
Wow just wow
She been here since Teddy Roosevelt!
May God bless her soul🙏🏼🕊
I’d like to know her diet. Although I’m sure genetics are the true hero here. How incredible!!!!
She is a Frenchwoman. What more is there?
Yup, it is that red wine. 😂
The Heart of the World
I smell a lie
God Bless Her💝
The painful traffic pivotally crawl because waterfall canonically gaze across a flagrant coast. peaceful, mute beech
Wth are you babbling about? Btw is that supposed to be “beech” as in the tree or “beach” as in sand & ocean? If this is your attempt at prose you’ve got some ways to go. 😒
This lady is a badass!
She is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. With the exception of my 4 year old son. But its pretty close. Trés Bien!
This grand dame is not “cute.” “Cute” is for 4 year olds and puppies.
She’s amazing…. Happy Birthday.
*”If someone dies WITH covid-19, we are counting that.”* -Direct quote from Dr. Birx at the Coronavirus Task Force press conference.
You could literally make a stuffy nose the leading cause of death using this rule.
She is truly blessed by God!!
Alas those people who died due to covid doesnt seem to be blessed by god. 🙄
@jayvir jadeja God hated all the people who died of covid. He only saves the ones he likes.
@MtGox You should think about what your saying, God love all Humans even you but it’s up to you to return or give it back to him…. God know nothing of hate… thats the Devils work….
@Carlos !!!
@MtGox why are you negatively commenting about her in every post, a know you have problem with religion or specifically Christianity
Ironically, not being scared of dying helps you to live longer.
Certainly not having that added stress helps.
Not sure about that, stupidity kills. I know what you mean but you cover a whole category of risk takers who do die. Having a calm demeanor might be a better way to describe it.
@annoyed aussie Hopefully she doesn’t decide to go mountain climbing.
She’s probably right with her Lord and she’s probably tired. I’m in healthcare. I had a client who really became my dear friend. She passed at 94. She was a nun, a nurse and a professor (she taught nursing). She lived a life of servitude and genuinely found fulfillment in her vocation. Plus, she was tired and ready to go home. She as very much at peace with passing.
God really said “not today sis, not today”
This is what happens when you have faith and GOD in your life. You trust, believe, and you leave everything in his hands, he will seek you through anything… God Bless you Sister. 🙏🏽
@Tenebris Rex 🤷🏽♂️😲👌🏾…. God Bless you bro….
@Tenebris Rex why wouldn’t he interfair if he created it, and secondly if I’m praying 🙏🏽like this Nun is praying for God to interfair in my life you think God won’t if I’m asking him too?
@Tenebris Rex like I told Eric we will all find out when its our time to go and I will gladly shake ur hands and say we made it
@Tenebris Rex i’ma leave it at that
@Tenebris Rex and look up the word Blasphemy again and read what it means, look it up in the BIBLE…..
not VEGAN
Of course not. Veganism is extremely unhealthy
@David Scheindlin +
That’s the power of prayer
Amen
This woman is a living History!
Wow… I’m speechless 😶
She’s on 1HP.
Here We Go Again People Donald The Virus Crybaby Trump Strikes Again With His Catastrophic Leftover damage done to America and the World unfortunately this poor lady had to suffer on unimaginable levels because of Trump’s failure as former president to protect America and it’s People from the worst Health Economic Housing Homeless and World Crisis in Modern History and let more Americans die than Hitler did the whole WW2 and this woman had to be the sacrifice for his herd immunity slaughtereing plan but because of Biden and The American People who defeated this murderous Wallstreet Swamp Tyrant and gave the human race and a woman like her many more shots at life because we now have a real President not a pretend one who cares about the people and there survival finally
Her lifetime is an era
She told an interviewer she’s not afraid to die. She’s at peace because she’s lives her life! . It shows. What a beautiful face. This is a person I’m interested in rather than the hordes of so called stars of reality tv & social media.
That’s true man she done already made her peace but before she leaves she wants to leave words of wisdom take that Kim kardashian, take that Nicki Minaj, take that all these snug nose hair weave wearing b******
most of the people dying are vitamin d deficient. My 95 year old grandma had it and didn’t know either until she went to the hospital for unrelated and was tested.
Sister André has moved to number 10 dethroning Maria Capovilla on the list of the oldest registered people. The first place is held by another French lady Jeanne Calment with 122 years and 164 days who was born in 1875.
I think I’m going to try French wine after all.
Knowing JAH
Don’t wanna get in a theologian debate about it.
Angelus & Magdalena smiled when they heard that,
Bless you sister.
Wear your mask, sister
God’s amazing grace!!!!
Trump’s catastrophic damage and body count to America keeps going like the Energizer Bunny 🐰
Thank God Biden wants to help the people on every level but the stupid republicans want America and it’s People to keep suffering and dieing like Trump did cared more about stock market and Wallstreet Swamp than the human race and it’s survival and it’s fighting chance to somehow get a normal way of life again after the catastrophic damage done last year and it’s after effects we feel now in the present with more Deadlier Covid waves of mutated viruses that keep adding to are American Genocide happening In are Country right now at the fastest rate in history killing 45 people an hour now and no end in sight as we get closer to half of Million Dead in America and almost 30 Million infected around the nation and pushing are hospitals and resources to the breaking point and the new deadliest african strain ready to explode on are Country and vunerable way of life like sitting ducks ready to be picked off one by one in this sad day in age we live in now where nothing is certain anymore
Incredible to think that this woman lived through both WWI and WWII and Theodore Roosevelt was president when she was born. I bet she has some incredible stories to tell!
asaber que putas dise
The needless fly whitely harm because roof phylogenitically float barring a obese south america. dynamic, glistening glorious decision
Happy Birthday Grandma! 🎊🎉🎂
She also survived ebolahoax in 2015!
How did she do it?
Live to 117?
France must have some longevity secret. The oldest person who ever lived was from France. She lived to be 126! Catherine Deneuve’s mother is still alive at 109 years old. Hmm maybe I’ll retire there.
No 122, it was Jeanne Calment, she saw Vincent Van Gogh !
Why not, after living years in US, I, am back in France and rent a $200/month a 500sq/ft appartment and can be in less than an hour in central Paris by TGV train. A hyperU superstore is in my little town, 4 bank, 2 optical, few doctor, and some shop… etc… I save a lot of money living in suburb of big town. Some area are very expensive…
@Bernard Lancel Thank you 🙏🏼
@kathryn Johnson 👍
It’s also worth to mention that the second oldest living women in France is already 116 and only one year younger than Lucile Randon.
Millions of other people have survived also. It’s easy to do so when the virus is a hoax and a sham for world domination.
Wear your mask and be safe, though.
She should be really taken care of, massage, healthy food, new silk nune clothes. Just to comfort her struggles.
She look like https://youtu.be/Ke-6WW-xGic
God Bless Her!
Happy Birthday Sr. Andre!

She has darn good skin for her age. I always get amazed how people age so differently from others. I am 43 and hope to age gracefully as she did. God bless her, she is clearly covered by God.
I hope I don’t bother you. I was trying to find some old friends when I saw your beside my wall and I could not help but write you to know more about you and I am Ohio city van wert county. Here is my email ly525508@gmail.com. I hope you don’t mind if we can write to know each other at your leisure time.
Wow she never ate McDonald’s, Jack in the Box, Subway, Chinese Food, and other Fast Food.
I don’t think Jack in the Box exists in France anyway ^^”
On her 115th birthday in 2019 she said “115 years is enough, I hope the Good Lord takes me this year”. She survived 2019, 2020 and now in 2021 she was tested positive for covid but recovered and celebrated her 117th birthday. I mean two years ago she asked to die but she survived two years and a deadly virus!
Not that “deadly” after all. 🙈🙉🙊
it’s all a fraud wake up
tell that to the 2.35 million dead people 🤡🤡
There are 3 people in their 70s, who have had it it in my park, with no complications & live to see another day!
So this old welfare fossil living on fairytales gets to live.While thousands of people who actually work and contribute to mankind die? Just another example of why god doesn’t exist 💁♂️💁♂️
Dude, just shut up! you dont know anything about her, she literally spend half of her life by helping other people. If you arent religious atleast be respectful to other.
Wear an N95 and sealed safety glasses. Save your life.
lol this proves that covid is just the rebranded common cold
Thousands of old people die from the flu each year, condolences to them, but shutting down our entire economy to prevent that is not worth it.
I wonder if she’ll go down in history as the only person to survive the Spanish Flu and COVID?
That depends if she did get it. I don’t think we’d know for sure but it’s believeable
I doubt I’ll make it pass 30
Why do you say that? I am asking out of care
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HIP HIP HOORAY. Glory to God Hallelujah.
Is covid so dangerous if this person isn’t going to die from it?
She was in the 4th grade when the Titanic sank.
Quality of life? 🤔
Gloire à Dieu ✝️❤️
What is amazing also is that she was born also on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes,when St Bernadette Soubirous saw the apparitions.
It is also thanks to the Blessed Virgin Mother who also kept her and watched her.
God Bless You Sister André!!,from Cape-Town,in South-Africa
Salve Maria!!
So this pretty much is a way of saying covid-19 ain’t as severe as the media dramatizes it to be
Exactly!but as you can see from the comments most people can’t think critically
Covid has a 99.9% survival rate not surprising. The deaths a inflated to a ridiculous number.
Not for every age group. For the age group 80+ the death rate is around 30%
The Catholic Church should recognize her as a Saint!
Covidiot: But… Can we survive without the vax..?
Sistah André: YES WE CAN !!! 💪
