And soon, kindness spread through the neighborhood like wildfire.

Some are calling him the "Miracle Man…" because 90-year-old Enzo Carnaroli has defeated COVID-19. "I'm going to see him today and I'm going to take him home," said his wife, Joan Carnaroli. "And that's all I care about."The emotional homecoming started at Riddle Hospital in Delaware County. Joan rushed her husband to the hospital once he woke up with a fever. But given their extreme precaution and self-quarantining, she thought it was only a urinary tract infection. 

After a long three weeks of uncertainty and loneliness, the loving couple has finally reunited. Thanks to a courageous spirit and a team of talented nurses with Mainline Health, Enzo scored a figurative K.O. in his most recent frightening fight.
