A 98-year-old great-grandad of 10 has recovered from coronavirus and is now back at home - even though doctors thought he would not survive.
Second World War hero Jack Bowden, from Bolton, was diagnosed with Covid-19 two weeks ago after being admitted to Royal Bolton Hospital.
The Bowden family was shocked as the beloved dad-of-four had not been showing any typical flu symptoms and was instead taken to hospital with a suspected water infection, reports Manchester Evening News.
After responding to treatment quickly, doctors believed Mr Bowden was getting better and released him back to his care home in Ivy Bank Road on March 20 to remain in isolation taking his prescribed medication.
