A 98-year-old great-grandad of 10 is back at home after a 'full recovery' from the coronavirus that doctors thought would kill him.
Second World War hero Jack Bowden, from Bolton, got a terrifying coronavirus diagnosis two weeks ago after being admitted the Royal Bolton Hospital.
The result left the Bowden family 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.
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.
