    COVID 19 - Second Wave

    I'm glad we are collecting every single vaccine-related death. This way we can count, I think we're up to five now.

    Rugby Players

    Gloucester Rugby star Jack Adams dead at 34 only a few days after announcing his terminal cancer, and just hours after me noticing it: https://www.ruck.co.uk/former-gloucester-rugby-star-jack-adams-passes-away-aged-34/

    Jerry Remy, US sportscaster, already diagnosed with (early) lung cancer four times, now experiences "shortness of breath": https://barrettsportsmedia.com/2021/06/14/jerry-remy-hospitalized-due-to-shortness-of-breath/ He's been on our lists before, and has also suffered from depression and pneumonia.

    Death By Numbers 2021

    Indeed, no swapping out of dead people - I thought I had written that in the rules...will be added.

    Crashing Companies

    News Corp. now values "The Sun" at zero pounds, implying that, after record losses, the paper will never turn a profit again: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-11/murdoch-s-sun-u-k-s-biggest-paper-for-decades-now-worth-zero

    Bono

    Yeah, stupid shitpost of me, combining my unwelcome surprise of finding Bono in another neoliberal globalist project, and an actually recently deceased Bono.

    Fuck, I thought he was dead.

    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Irish author of the Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley, dead after 4 years of fighting cancer, at 55: https://www.thebookseller.com/news/lucinda-riley-dies-after-four-year-cancer-battle-1263640 Hm, seems kind of sudden, and signficant. Did we miss it...

    Another Belinda Sykes update, proving that she is definitely on the clock, but it's a somewhat slower clock. Still a good bet for a latter half of the year hit though:

    The D-A-CH-DeathList 2025 (page 25)

    This is not a QO for the DDP, because it's not written in english. Still, it's curious that you can do the yahoo url trick even across language borders: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/youtube-star-philipp-mickenbecker-stirbt-084223598.html

    The 2021 Deathlist Cup

    Die Zeit is definitely a QO: https://www.zeit.de/zustimmung?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zeit.de%2Fnews%2F2021-06%2F11%2Fthe-real-life-guys-youtuber-philipp-mickenbecker-ist-tot (Google news proves it without the paywall)

    The 2021 Deathlist Cup

    This might work for Philip Mickenbecker, an inconsequential hit: https://www.brytfmonline.com/philip-mickenbecker-†-23-youtuber-is-dead/

    Notable Coronavirus Victims

    In this context, Azam Khan, the Cup and MMMDP pick, still hospitalised even though he's COVID negative now: https://www.livehindustan.com/uttar-pradesh/story-sp-mp-and-former-minister-azam-khan-from-rampur-admitted-to-medanta-hospital-in-lucknow-had-trouble-urinating-4106700.html However, he's had a bladder infection which is now under control. And several other infections, for example, in his lung. Still, he's "stable".

    Notable Coronavirus Victims

    He died on a flight. Makes me wonder if the different air pressure is to blame. Severe COVID seems to attack the inner organs, and makes them vulnerable to, I don't know, tissue being torn apart or something. Those long-COVID-people, like Derek Draper, who "cannot really move", they are permanently damaged.

    The 100 Club

    Never heard of him outside of this forum, but he won the Pritzker Prize, the Nobel Prize for architects. So he should get the broadsheet obits.
