6 months in and still no deaths...

Hanoi, Vietnam, Office of the Communist Party Secretary. "Hurry up, mr. Secretary. Do you remember what day is today?" "Yes, it's the beginning of a new year for our time reckoning, but where must we go?" "Well, you know, mr. Secretary, 108 Military Hospital..." "Wait, a minute, he is not dead?! Not even this year?! "Oh, don't worry. Next year he won't be there..." "You have been saying this for ages.... I should fire you" Le Duc Anh lives enough to receive another visit at hospital from Vietnamese officials.

Former dictator and current opposition leader of Bangladesh Hussain Muhammad Ershad is in Singapore for medical treatment. He has been hospitalized two months for liver disease.

Ok, it is "Mollie Sugden et al", but shouldn't this be tagged as dead?

Lee Teng-Hui discharged from hospital after more than two months. Suffered hemorrhage in November after hitting his head.

No, that happened to his son in 2008. He died of an intestinal occlusion.

Kálmán Ihász has died aged 77. Played for Hungary in 1962 and 1966.

So January passed without a hit. Last time it happened in 2015, but that was a good year actually, I seriously doubt this will be.

He has overcome it. Won't go anywhere.

89 today!

No, this man is absolutely a dead cert by the sound of it.

That wasn't very difficult apparently...

Apparently a former, very famous, American baseball player is very unwell...

Meanwhile K. Anbazhagan gets discharged again from hospital. We already saw many eternally ill Indian politicians going this past year...

My dad has been discharged today! We know and he knows his time is limited, but we are trying to spend it at best. For now I'm happy we did not lose dad when we had lost all hopes.

Hyun Soong-jong is 100 today!

Someone claimed William Frankland has died on Wiki, removing him from the list of living centenarians. Obviously he's been reinstated and there is not any confirmation right now. Could be a total hoax.

Reports just denied. Receiving therapy and not dying at all (that's Asian mentality, you should know...)

He suffered an incapacitating stroke in 2014 and was never able to walk or speak anymore. I know only four people who have survived a serious stroke after 88: Hanh, Violeta Chamorro, Tin Oo and the inimitable general Anh.

Not good DDP news for me...

NEEEEWBIIIEEEE!

Ok, found it.

What is the source?

Hey, I said almost all of them. He was the unlucky one...
