104-Year-Old Earthquake Survivor Beats COVID-19, Leaves Hospital
Geneviève Mazet, 104 years old, cured of covid-19, left the clinic on Saturday, May 2, after three weeks of hospitalization. This resident of Montpellier, in the Hérault, is a survivor of the Agadir earthquake.
"I don’t hurt, I’m making progress," Geneviève Mazet tells Franceinfo. For her daughter, Dominique Bloch, it is a relief. "[...] She will continue to amaze me. She has amazed me throughout a lifetime, and to overcome this ordeal, which is nevertheless dramatic and tragic, with the isolation, I can only rejoice," she says.
Born in 1916, Geneviève Mazet, nicknamed Vivette, has several lives: stenographer, nurse, then school principal. She has known many trials, including two wars, and an earthquake in Morocco, after which she lost everything.
