    Ideas and possibilities 2022

    Has been "ill" since he was put into jail. June 2020 he said that he'll be "dead in 2-3 months" Seems like he is actually ill this time but how ill exactly? He was diagnosed with prostate cancer before this year but now it's "agressive"

    The 100 Club

    The ones listed on Wikipedia's "living centenarians known for other reasons than longevity", but it's likely very incomplete. Polish Wanda Półtawska got to 100 yesterday. Ravensbrück concentration camp survivor, physician and author, friend of Pope John Paul II. Had cancer in 1962 but was "cured" by Padre Pio (1887-1968), later canonised for "miracles" like this. Made news this March for opposing "abortion-tainted" vaccines. Very frail.

    https://www.nbcsvg.com/2021/11/02/sir-james-mitchell-has-been-hospitalized/ Now has severe dengue fever... Also, former President of Indonesia 2004-2014 Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono "SBY" has prostate cancer: https://nationaldailyng.com/former-president-hospitalised In early stages, I don't expect him to die before his predecessor Megawati Sukarnoputri who is well above the ages his parents lived to and has already outlived her husband and a younger sister and has recently been a subject of health rumors and hoaxes.

    Monica Vitti

    Now 90. How much longer will she live? Ten years since it was disclosed that "Alzheimer's disease has removed her from the public gaze for the last 15 years" and her biography apparently suggests that the memory loss already started around 34 years ago, in 1987. Vitti has been living with it longer than anyone notable, the other ones in the top 5 probably being Carmen Sevilla (Over 9 years in late-stage alzheimer's), Margarita Terekhova (15 years with it, in late stages for atleast five years), Pasqual Maragall (14-15 years with Alzheimer's) and Joanne Woodward (around 12-13 years with it? In late stages for years)

    Who are the immortals?

    https://www.seiska.fi/kotimaa/vesa-matti-loiri-onnettomuudessa-kuva-paljastaa-vauriot/1163756 V-M Loiri has been in some kind of an accident, didn't comment on it. Looks very great for someone who will be 77 in two months, especially considering his health history (check the post from August for it) I'm still convinced that he won't make it to 80, how are his organs even still working after 60 years of alcohol use and smoking (and all the other stuff he's used)?
