The third-oldest living person, dear Tekla, has crossed one of the biggest gaps (66 days) in the top 100, by finally surpassing Maggie Barnes. 116 is getting close now. If she makes it, I believe the "116+ Era" is still in play...

Ms. Juniewicz has received the visit of the Polish Prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki. A tweet from earlier yesterday by Mr. Morawiecki about his visit with Ms. Juniewicz, including more photos:

https://twitter.com/MorawieckiM/status/1532772081267621888?cxt=HHwWgIC-mciFwMUqAAAA

Translation of the tweet:
"Almost 8 billion people in the world, and it is impossible to find another one like Ms Tekla Juniewicz. By the way, Ms. Tekla is the 2nd oldest person in the world. Still full of joy and energy. She is celebrating her 116th birthday in a week's time. Another 100 years, Mrs. Tekla!"
