Last time I came here to report that Ed Sheeran tested positive for Covid. Paul Bearer (sorry for getting his name wrong) replied: "No one cares". No way to treat members who contribute imho.

Galling that I had to log in for this. Sir Elton John tested positive for Covid. Didn't know about his epilepsy either, until I read his imdb profile.

Jon Bon Jovi tests positive for the virus, cancels Miami appearance, Fully vaccinated, feeling fine. https://variety.com/2021/music/news/jon-bon-jovi-covid-positive-miami-1235101262/ Edit: Jen Psaki tests positive too.

I logged in to inform you & all the dear people who liked your post, that Ed Sheeran is "at the other side" of his battle with Covid.

What the heck motivated me to fill my shadow list with the names of painters, writers & opera singers? In the meantime show people are dying like flies. Larry King, Cloris Leachman, Cicely Tyson... At the end of the year, the members of this committee will probably pat themselves on the shoulder for having included Lansbury, White, Redgrave & Co.
