Honestly after this he needs to be on next year's list if he makes it that far RIP to Reiner, we've lost another legend here

Sticking with July 6th

Will it be OdH next, y/n?

Li Zhensheng, 'photographer of China's Cultural Revolution', dead at 79 after a brain haemorrhage: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/23/li-zhensheng-who-photographed-china-cultural-revolution-dies

Djokovic's also a know anti-vaxxer, so this should be interestinng

Bernardino Piñera, former Bishop of Temuco and Archbishop of La Serena, dead at 104 from Covid: http://www.episcopado.cl/40635-fallece-monsenor-bernardino-pinera-carvallo.html

Former Bangladesh cricket captain and member of parliament Mashrafe Mortaza tests positive, alone with fellow players Nazmul Islam and Nafees Iqbal. First two have been taking part actively in virus aid work, which might explain source (though Islam says he doesn't know how he got it, IMO it's pretty obvious if you're on the ground helping w/ aid work.) Former Iraqi national football team player Ahmed Radhi, dead at 56: https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/iraqi-football-great-ahmed-radhi-dies-after-contracting-coronavirus-1.1036677

July 6th

OdH

I'll take Giscard d'Estaing please! Would get another main list hit as well

my search bar led me astray -.-

Ian Holm just now, so nope. Wouldn't be surprised if it's not yet over for today, let alone the week. US still hasn't awoken if my timezones are right.

Not a DDP either, surprisingly

Not directly related to KJN, but re: tensions w/ SK, SK unification minister just quit, taking responsibility for not being able to fix the mounting tension: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/19/south-korea-unification-minister-quits-as-tensions-with-north-mount

I suspect they didn't want to have obits that rightly called out his anti-Semitism and general conspiracy bullshit out there that reminded the public of the dumpster fire that he was. Unfortunately, looks like there was enough of a lull in celeb deaths that the NYT obit staff had the time to sift through Cali death record for proof.

If they decide to fight people who own more guns than the population of the country... That'll turn out well for them.

if they think this will stop the protests, they're wrong - protestors have moved on to demanding the officers who killed Breonna Taylor while she was sleeping in her bed be charged next. The genie's out of the bottle, and it's not going to be corked up. LA already cut ~150 mil from the police budget, including the budget for 'hero pay' during Coronavirus. About a million places in Minnesota have cut contracts w/ the MPD, including the public school system in Minneapolis and UofM - and those are multi-million deals.

i mean RBG at least has straight up said right after thee 2016 elections that she refuses to die until Trump is out, whether that means one or 2 terms.

Yawovi Agboyibo, Togolese PM from 2006 to 2007, dead at 76: (French obit) https://l-frii.com/togo-deuil-me-yawovi-agboyibor-est-decede/ Javier Alva Orlandini, Peruvian 2nd VP (they have 2) from 1980-1985, dead at 92: (Spanish obit) https://elcomercio.pe/politica/javier-alva-orlandini-politico-y-figura-historica-de-accion-popular-fallecio-a-los-92-anos-nndc-noticia/

Renowned Indian music director Wajid Khan, of the duo Sajiid-Wajid, dead at 43. Seems to be a combination of existing liver issues and coronavirus.

Dead

Kim Yong-ju please

Francesc Badia Batalla please!

I suspect that even if they survive and have no other setbacks, they're going to have some major side effects from having such a serious bout of corona.
