    Legendary greek actor Kostas Voutsas dead at 88 of a lung infection: https://neoskosmos.com/en/159116/kostas-voutsas-a-legendary-man-of-comedy-dies/ Well, as my Cup team is dying away bit by bit, I may have to pick that Iranian deputy health secretary who has the corona virus.

    One theory is that the star emitted a giant gas cloud into our direction. (How rude!)

    Coronavirus death toll 2020

    Italy's Patient Zero is 38 years old and currently on a ventilator. He had been examined before and got sent home, but the disease worked its way over several weeks. They say that in China, the infection rate is slowing down. But I think the death toll follows with a delay of several weeks. I think China alone will end up with 7000...8000... deaths once this is over. Now I wonder if other countries will do better or worse. Some countries have better medical care, but are not so autocratic. If China can serve as a sort-of "median" country in terms of readiness against the disease, and China contains about a 5th or 6th of the world's population, we might then look at about 40.000 deaths.
  9. Last year's mid-year deadpooling candidate Jean Vanier, founder of L'Arche, sexually abused women.... oh well... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-51596516 "Sexual relations were instigated by Vanier, usually in the context of giving spiritual guidance."

    Genesis P-Orridge

    The latest instagram post is by himself again. He was gone for 5 days of chemo and now returns home for his birthday. Oh, and I thought he'd join the 69 club.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Greg Gilbert had some long-awaited scan results, some spread, but no vital organs affected. Could be worse after 9 months off treatment, but oh, he's going to be watched by us some more.

    Lewis vs. Trebek vs. Reid

    I think Harry Reid wants to live through one more presidential election. Then he'll die shortly after that.

    British Character Actors

    Hm, maybe thread-worthy, maybe not. Julie Walters was diagnosed with stage III bowel cancer 18 months ago but has since been given the all-clear: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-51558450
  15. Well, if there is going to be a Hillary / Pelosi government, I hope they'll figure out how I, as a man, can finally get an abortion. I will be very disappointed if they fail me.

    Didn't Wake Up This Morning...

    I find it hard to guess QOs of those Louisiana celebrities. Maybe Henry Butler's BBC obit was a positive outlier.

    Correct!

    Guess The Song

    Alright, this is a club-friendly cover of a 70s hit of a black music legend. The cover managed to outdo the original by one place in the UK charts, around the turn of the millenium.

    Guess The Song

    The drummer gives me strong Dave Grohl vibes.... Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the deaf Edit: Lol, I should not just post the name of the album, but a song... No one knows.
