Yes, China seems to "confirm" he is dead. I still think he is not.

Ernst Zägel, old Saarland player, dead at 84.

Quick recap. CNN and Bloomberg report he underwent cardiac stent surgery and is in critical conditions following complications; they claim to have independent sources for that. This guy, an Italian scholar living in Bejing with close ties to the Communist Party, adfirms Kim is already dead and they are planning succesion. He claims China sent a team of doctors from Bejing to save his life, but they failed. Trump called the CNN report "fake news" (and you know Trump is a dork), Sydney Morning Herald adfirms Kim was visiting some touristic sites these past days, but NK media did not mention anything (and they usually follow Kim's routine closely). Personally I still think he will reappear out of nothing like Jiang Zemin in 2012.

Had he been living in India he would have obited immediately. Living in the US, nobody gives a fuck. Will be lucky to get one from some institution.

She got the 'rona too.

Personally I know Vin Scully because in the X-Files second season episode "Irresistible" Donnie Pfaster asks another inmate what is the name of the female FBI agent and he replies "Scully, like the baseball broadcaster" (or something like that).

What Italian politicians have died from coronavirus? Only majors of small towns, not very notable.

He still has the chance to get a mention if Lee Teng-hui dies. Considering old Lee has been in ICU for more than three months, it is not so unlikely.

Answers a letter from Assad, implying he is not ill. Plus South Korea is sure he has been visiting some provincial factories these past days. Usual Murican bullshit.

Well, gladly I never caught it! I still went to work almost everyday during the emergency; now active cases (read "sick people") seems to be steadily decreasing in Italy. The worst is over, but no one is too sure about so called "phase 2" as we need to be extremely careful.

In fact some people I know have reported permanent lung damage. A small part of those who got it, anyway...

Don't know but his birthday was widely celebrated. Should at least receive a mention.

Cardiff City fixture Jimmy Goodfellow dead at 76. Rumoured to be the 'rona, once again.

How do you spell Bullshit in Hangul?

None of them is Mustafa Ben Halim though.

The old terrorist is improving and has tested negative for COVID. Still in ICU and suffering from pneumonia.

Reports suggest that gangster Matthew Madonna has died from COVID. Surely he was infected.

Sonny Alvarez dead at 80.

Actually I think you need a clean sheet to win.

Swedish actress Susanna Ramel dead at 100, only a sub here.

No, I don't think. He caught it in Germany in March and had been hospitalized since the end of March, though he described himself as "asymptomatic". Buhari would already show symptoms, which he doesn't.

Carlos Contreras dead at 81 after long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Great for him! Ventura has already fully recovered and the other two of the original post are recovering too.

Shah Ahmad Shafi in critical conditions with heart failure and lung infection. One of the most important Islamist leaders in Bangladesh, he will turn 104 later this year and his health has been steadily declining in recent times.

That's true. Actually I'm fucking tired of the whole "underlying conditions" thing. Almost all those people did not die for their "underlying conditions", died of the damned COVID. It's like saying I have diabetes and get run over by a car, and the cause of death is given as diabetes. Last person who died of COVID I knew was a 78-year old neighbour. He looked at least 10-15 years younger, was in full health and incredibly active. Well, he catches COVID (from his daughter who got it from another woman who is now dead) and is dead in ten days more or less. The daily bulletin from my borough (there were 5 COVID deaths in my borough yesterday) reports "all people were suffering from underlying issues". Bullshit. A lie they initially told to calm people, but how the fuck are they continuing after dozens of healthy 30-40-50 years old have died? This guy, according to his family, only suffered from a minor episode of pneumonia three years ago. Yeah, those were the "underlying conditions". What should I say? Consider myself mincemeat, I have hypertension, have been suffering from bronchial pneumonia various times and some heart issues, I have also a blood disorder. Nothing of this influences my life in any way. But I would be just another "underlying conditions" person who dies from it. As a side note, mortality in my borough has increased of 310% in March in comparison to last year. Only half of deaths are attributed to COVID. Guess the other were random, oh yes...
