Angelina Friedman received nationwide attention again after she caught the coronavirus for the second time and beat it once again. Her daughter, Joanne Merola, said Friedman tested positive for the virus again in late October while she resided at the North Westchester Restorative Therapy and Nursing Center. As the virus was spread around the clinic, the older patients were placed in an isolation room and Merola said her mother was experiencing symptoms such as dry cough, and a fever.
Friedman was later moved out of the isolation room once she recovered from the virus on November 17. Throughout her lifetime, Friedman has survived cancer, miscarriages, internal bleeding, and the Spanish flu.

Merola said her mother is the last surviving member of 11 children in her family and her husband also had cancer around the same time she had it but he didn’t beat it, unfortunately.
“She is not human, She has super-human DNA.”My mother is a survivor. She survived miscarriages, internal bleeding, and cancer. She and my dad had cancer at the same time. She survived. He didn’t.”
