A CENTENARIAN who was given only hours to live when he contracted coronavirus has fought back and overcome it.
David Beck, who used to run the former Rose and Crown pub in New Street, Henley, is believed to have contracted covid-19 following a visit to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.
He was given antibiotics for a urinary tract infection and had only been at the Chilterns Court Care Centre for a week before he was rushed back to the hospital.
He was struggling to breathe, had a high temperature and lost his appetite. He then had a test, which came back positive. His family were told that his condition was getting worse and doctors took him off medication in anticipation that he would not recover.
