My strategy was pretty much mix up some names I put in every pool and some I hadn't used that much or at all. So if some of the latter ones die, I have them at least somewhere and score some points... We'll see how this works. Thanks for hosting this! By the way John Prine died on Tuesday (the day this pool started): https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/arts/music/john-prine-dead-coronavirus.html 40 Prince Philip 39 Ruthie Thompson 38 Vera Lynn 37 Tom Smith 36 Alex Trebek 35Norman Lloyd 34 Peter Tobin 33 Earl Cameron 32 Frankie Banali 31 Susan Bayh 30 David Gulpilil 29 Jean Louis Trintignant 28 Beverly Cleary 27 Lee Kerslake 26 Jimmy Carter 25 Dilip Kumar 24 Bob Dole 23 Pierre Cardin 22 Joanne Woodward 21 Roger Angell 20 Mikhail Gorbachev 19 Henry Kissinger 18 George Alagiah 17 Leon Spinks 16 Dick Cheney 15 Jimmy Greaves 14 Shane MacGowan 13 Vanessa Redgrave 12 Lester Piggott 11 Imelda Marcos 10 Yoo Sang-Chul 9 Bob Barker 8 Larry King 7 Sidney Poitier 6 Clarissa Eden 5 Carl Reiner 4 Cleo Laine 3 Emperor Akihito 2 Loretta Lynn 1 Little Richard (May 9th)

Former Finnish president and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari has been diagnosed with corona virus. That was pretty expected though because his wife got the same diagnosis last weekend. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8146381/Former-Finnish-president-Martti-Ahtisaari-82-infected-coronavirus-wife-83.html

Mine too

Katherine Johnson is a hit for me. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/feb/24/katherine-johnson-obituary

Grobler, yeah this is pretty nerve-racking. I don't have so high expectations for my own performance though.

I couldn't find anything in English yet, but Finnish writer, politician, film director etc. Jörn Donner has died. My second hit in this in two days (in the case of a qualifying obit of course). EDIT: An obit in English, but in Finnish media. Waiting for QO: https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/author_director_and_politician_jorn_donner_dies_at_86/11184931
