Melville, L.I.: I am writing about our incredible stepdad, Paul Barberio, who turned 104 on Jan. 13. After a week of not feeling well, on Jan. 31, I invited a priest friend to his apartment for an anointing and to receive Holy Communion.
BAYSIDE, Queens (WABC) A 104-year-old man from Queens has survived the coronavirus and returned to his home on Wednesday after spending only 11 days in the hospital.
Paul Barberio, of Bayside, was admitted to North Shore University Hospital on January 31 and was diagnosed with COVID.
Dr. Suhail Shah said Barberio needed little medical intervention and was never even close to being put on a ventilator. One of my easiest patients, Shah said.
Shah credited Barberio s survival to Barberio s genes. Being 104-years-old already proves that Barberio is a survivor.
