A great grandmother who is convinced she had coronavirus in May says that now is her time to “get out there and live.”
Maureen Eames, 83, went viral after telling the BBC she didn’t “give a damn” about the coronavirus.
The retired doctor, from Barnsley in South Yorkshire, said it was ridiculous that her region would be the next to live under Level 3 restrictions.
Speaking to The Sun, he said the confinement has “been a disaster” and “is killing us.”
He added: “There were some predictions that half a million people in Britain could die, but our death toll has not come close to that.

“Well I am not afraid and I have never been afraid and I will not be afraid.
“I’m too old. And even if I was young, I still wouldn’t be scared. I don’t give a shit. But a lot of people succumbed to these scare tactics.”
Maureen said: “I think I had coronavirus in May. I woke up with a dry cough and pain in my chest and lungs. I had never had anything like this in my life, it was like being stabbed by daggers.”
She says she also lost her keen sense of smell.
Maureen said she went for a walk, napped, did yoga and took acetaminophen and was “fine” after ten days.

Maureen, married to retired electrical engineer Michael, 81, has shared her controversial views on the pandemic on several occasions and has criticized the lockdown.
Since then, social media users have called for Maureen to become Prime Minister.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “We should never have been locked up. It was a disaster.
“You know we have a debt of 2 trillion pounds? 2 trillion pounds.
“It’s not government money, it’s our money. Some people don’t seem to notice.”
He also expressed concern that the younger population is left to pay the debt, with millions of people unemployed.

Maureen added: “I voted for Boris Johnson, I supported him on Brexit and I still support him.”
But he said the prime minister returned to work too soon after battling the coronavirus at the hospital and criticized his advisers, including medical director Chris Whitty and health secretary Matt Hancock.
The intrepid grandmother referred to the tenacity of the British during the lightning bombings when people did not give up and said that while people today fear coronavirus warnings, she believes that many share her views on the lockdown.
Insisting that she and her husband Mike are doing well financially, Maureen commented on companies struggling to get by with some bankruptcies and said it “has to end.”
He added: “A lot of people now say, ‘the lockdown is killing us.’ And not just financially. It is killing us for all the untreated people for cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
“Boris needs to hear from the chancellor about spending, get hit on the head and get the economy going again.”
