Milton Zaczek, a 101-year-old Army veteran, has survived two global pandemics -- the Spanish flu and COVID-19.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- At 101 years old, Milton Zaczek, a World War II veteran, has done something very few have: survived two global pandemics.

In November, the centenarian tested positive for COVID-19 after checking in at the emergency department at the Northern Arizona Health Care System in Prescott, shortly after his birthday.

To date, there have been more than half a million coronavirus cases in Arizona, which has resulted in 10,000 deaths.
