Neat. He was a prime candidate for "not getting a QO because of the Coronavirus avalanche".

Indeed, a flurry of hits... Stirling Moss, Peter Bonetti, Nobuhiko Obayashi, John Prine and John Downing as far as I can see.

Ah yes, mentioned just recently because he got a statue: "Jim has been ill with dementia for many years now." https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/18350391.neil-cameron-living-legend-jim-mclean-deserves-statue-outside-tannadice/

I picked Jim McLean 4-5 years ago for the DDP. He was said to be in ill health back then. Still is, I guess,but also, alive.

Peter Bonetti gives me some needed solo points (mail received, not yet on site).

Jerry Stiller again.

It's in the Guardian live blog though: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/apr/12/coronavirus-live-pope-easter-lockdown-us-death-toll-uk-boris-johnson-donald-trump- Edit: at 7:02

Well, you've been an inspiration to all of us.

Geography is a bad comparison though. That would make Canada a shining light in this situation (even more than they already are, I guess.). To compare cases, one should look at cases per population. USA is doing okay-ish there right now, between France and Germany. But the growth rate of cases numbers means that it's rising to the top fast.

Candidate for ironic death of the year.

And I really thought we had something going there...

Stop trying to get my attention, you will not get me to send you a dickpic again!

Aah, sad. On my longlist for a while. Quite a character, or at least that's what his wardrobe said.

Is this still going on? I updated the name a couple of hours ago.

Not at home right now - but I guess it's simply an oversight, will add later today.

Somewhat strange that I couldn't find it through googling, even if I use "Nobuhiko Obayashi Daily Mail wires". I did find the John Downing obit though. I hope the AP wires aren't somewhat google-blocked for me or EU people. (It counts though, of course.)

Stay strong, GUN!

Thanks for the details, I mean, I always enjoy this stuff, even if I don't believe it.

One of the 5g conspiracy people, even UK based, Ian R Crane, is now ill from cancer:
