Three hundred-year-old survivors of COVID-19 reveal the secrets of their longevity.  They defeated the killer virus, even though no one gave them a chance!  Three Americans over the age of 100 cured by COVID-19 reveal how they survived.

They lived during the two World Wars, faced other pandemics and endured the Great Depression of 1929-1933, without giving up.  Even the killer virus COVID-19 could not defeat three Americans whose stories amaze the whole world.  The optimism and fighting spirit of old women Rose Leigh-Manuell, Lilian Menendez and Jennie Stejna miraculously healed them after they became infected with the new coronavirus, which took 110,000 lives in the United States.

 Rose Leigh-Manuell, 101, of West Sayville, New York, says she managed to beat the coronavirus because God always takes care of it.  She was born during the Spanish flu epidemic and lived a long time because she is optimistic, says her son, Gary Leigh-Manuell, 63.  Rose, who has 3 children, 17 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren, is guided by the words: "This is over".  He doesn't put anything in his heart when he's in trouble.  In April, he battled the coronavirus for two weeks.  Although she was seriously ill, she did not go to Intensive Care.  Rose lost her husband 50 years ago, but she never gave in to despair.  She says the secret to disease resistance is that she has always been "a very sociable person."  She worked as a firefighter dispatcher and then at a fish market until he retired at the age of 70.

Lilian Menendez of South Huntington, New York, who defeated the COVID-19 virus at the venerable age of 104, says it owes its longevity to her good genes.  Her mother did not have white hair even at the age of 98.  She taught her to always be strong.  In order to maintain her health, Lilian has been very careful with her diet all her life.  She ate more rice and beans, vegetables of all kinds, fruits during the week, and meat only on Saturdays and Sundays.  After defeating the coronavirus in April, he feels very well: "I'm strong as a bull."

Jennie Stejna, who lives in Easton, Massachusetts, is also a stunning 103-year-old survivor.  In May, when she became infected with the COVID-19 virus, her nephew, Dave Stejna, was convinced he would die.  But he recovered after a few weeks and celebrated the event with a cold beer.  Her grandson says the secret of her longevity is that she has always been very active, working all the time in her vegetable garden.  She was always calm, she never got angry, no matter the difficult situations she went through. She always had good relations with absolutely everyone.

Heart-breaking!  Gene Campbell (89 years old) and Dorothy (88 years old) have been married for 60 years and have never been separated.  But for two days, the pensioner from Kirkland, Washington, was quarantined in a medical center, after being diagnosed with the deadly virus.  Every day, the old woman comes to see the love of her life, because it may be the last time.

Hunchbacked, with tears in her eyes and emotion in her throat, Dorothy Campbell came to the Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington to see the man who had been her shadow for 60 years.  A young man comes to grab her arm and guide her to the window behind which she waits impatiently, "like a candle in a cuckoo's nest," Gene Campbell, her husband.

 The old woman looks up from the ground and recognizes Charlie Campbell, her only son.  He tries to smile at her, but a stream of tears floods his wrinkled cheeks.  The man was diagnosed with COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 after staff at the Kirkland nursing home where he was unable to isolate the retirees well enough from the deadly microbe, in front of which they are safe victims.  In vain the federal authorities have launched an investigation and want to find out the culprits of the contamination of the elderly.

 For Gene and Dorothy, time is running out and every moment can be the last for them.  The Kirkland Asylum has become the epicenter of coronavirus in the United States with 6 deaths out of a total of 14 recorded nationwide.  Most elderly people at the medical center suffer from chronic diseases and are safe victims of coronavirus contamination.  Gene puts her trembling hand on the phone and calls Dorothy.  He tells her that he loves her and that she feels good.  He makes a discreet sign to Charlie and the boy understands that his father has just told him with his eyes that he doesn't think he will live long and that Dorothy will need all his care.  They will never touch each other again because Gene doesn't want to make his wife sick.  He resigned because he knew she was safe.

5 ideas that only need paper, pencils and pens. Children during quarantine are easily getting boring. That’s why, Bemorepanda decided to collect the best games for children and parents to play during quarantine.

 1. Consequences

 A fun and simple game in which you need to create stories.  Each person takes a piece of paper, writes one adjective on top.  Then he folds the paper to close the word, and transfers it to another player in a circle.  On a new sheet you need to write a name.  Then the actions are repeated.

 The order further should be as follows:

 another adjective;

 one more name;

 scene;

 what the characters do;

 what the first said to the second;

 what the second answered;

 what happened after;

 what people thought.

 Words can change, for example, instead of the names of people, you can write the names of animals.  You can also add additional moves, for example, indicate what was worn on the person.  Try to come up with funnier options to make the story as fun as possible.

2. Puppet theater

 To make dolls yourself, cut out the drawn figures or pictures from magazines and glue a thin (3-4 cm) strip of paper to their back.  Glue or staple the ends of the strip.  Now, improvised dolls can be put on your finger and play with them any funny scenes.  And if you have a printer, dolls can be printed.

 You can also put a real theatrical performance at home.  To do this, you need to come up with a fun story, draw or print masks of heroes (for example, fairy-tale characters or animals), put them on your faces and get used to the role.

 3. Dots and squares

 Ideally, a piece of paper is needed for the game.  Draw a wide square - this is a playing field.  Take two multi-colored felt-tip pens or a pencil.  The first player draws a line two cages in length anywhere inside the field.  Then the other player must do the same.

 If there is no sheet in the cage at hand, use the usual one.  Draw a playing field, and inside at the same distance - about 1 cm - place the dots.  The move will be the connection of two points with a horizontal or vertical line.

 Your task is to paint over all or almost all of the edges of the cell with your own color: 3 or 4 edges - your cell, if 2 by 2 - it goes to the player who set the final line.  Inside the filled square, write the letter of your name.  Whose squares will be more, he won.

 4. Crossword

  Crossword puzzles can be found on the Internet or compiled by yourself.  To make words easier, choose a topic, such as colors, space, or animals.  You can use puzzles as tasks.

 To help your child learn math, you can use examples instead of verbal questions.  But the child will still need to enter answers in the crossword puzzle in words.  For example, 4 + 4 =?  Answer: eight.

 5. Crocodile on paper

 The principle is the same as in the classic game: one participant explains to others the hidden word.  Only it needs to be drawn, not gestured.

 If you play together or three, everyone comes up with his own words.  If you are four or more, guess each other's words one by one: who guesses, he draws as follows.
