    Mahathir Mohamad

    I think it is a bit more serious than they are letting out. The medical bulletins make no reference to his current health condition and a sudden admission like this is very suspicious. Not gonna die this time anyway.

    Notable Coronavirus Victims

    Not a COVID death (maybe), but anti-vaxxer, complete nutshell Italian "philosopher" Valentino Bellucci dead at 46 from a sudden heart attack. Obviously would he have been a normal person anti-vaxxers would be blaming the vaccine all-over Twitter. Since he was one of the most rabid ones, it's silence from them.

    Kim Jong-Un

    He is getting a flurry of obits. No doubt some QO will show up.

    Kim Jong-Un

    Nope. Age was not in the KCNA obit, it is based on the South Korea ministry of unification. If he was really over 100 he would have got a birthday spread for his 100th birthday. 1972 NY Times article reports him as born in 1922, and SK state sources often overestimate NK politicians' ages (Kim Chol-man was born in 1918 rather than 1920 according to them).

    Kim Jong-Un

    And within a month he got his wreath. Happy now, @roaming_comrade?

    Mangosuthu Buthelezi tests positive again, but is reportedly just "self-isolating at home". EDIT: Also vaccinated, he won't go anywhere.

  19. All articles of that sort withdrawn. Seems premature reporting.

    Her granddaughter wished her happy birthday on Twitter. I think that's her last and I'm glad of that because she was even worse than Pinochet if possible.
