Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 6, 2022 Isn’t a thread asking how many hits the same as asking what I think of this years DL? 8 hits. That’s what I think of it. Same sodding thing. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted January 10, 2022 First graph of 2022 The last time we had a hit this early (2011) there were only seven hits 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be a nice score to Biden on there and he croaked. 2 years younger than Dick If you are nominating people simply due to their age then you're not doing it right. While age is a main factor, health problems is another major factor (especially terminal illness). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s less of a prediction and more of an observation. Though given there’s already 2 hits I suspect they’ll get more than 7 this time… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Father Brown 209 Posted January 11, 2022 I think there’s the potential for a few shock Christmas deaths with this list, otherwise it’s playing very safe with a shit tonne of “unmissables” like QEII and Attenborough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted January 11, 2022 So with the second hit we are clearly ahead of the pack. If we are to break the record then we would be looking at a death every 17.4 days which means the third hit would need to come before 21 Feb to stay on track. 2020 was an unusual year in that the deaths were fairly evenly spread but most years form an s shape with a sharp cluster of deaths 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So was Ronald Reagan at that age, and he survived another 15 years after. Dont get me wrong, he's not a completely terrible pick - as he could be assassinated by someone who hates him or he could get Covid etc - but it is very unlikely he will die this year. If you put Biden next to someone on this years list; say for example the Queen, who has become a lot more frail in recent months and may also be less willing to live now that she's lost her husband last year. Put her in comparison to Biden. Biden is out and about all the time constantly doing stuff. Biden does not meet the criteria to be put on the top 50 whereas a lot of people on there are terminally ill, very frail and/or in their 90s. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I would not consider Trudeau for another 40-something years) Let's be honest, it's being politically on the left (at least what passes for the left in the US/Canada) It's a very interesting list is all I'm saying, and definitely feels more like wish fulfillment in sections than actual predictions. Which isn't necessarily a wrong way to deadpool, but it's definitely not the way to determine the main list. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I don't like Biden either, or any democrat (or republican) for that matter, that doesnt mean he should be on the list. If Biden lost 20% of his body weight and is wheeled around the Oval Office and incomprehensibly grunts every time he is spoken to then he'll be added to the list. Referring to the point I made earlier (which you completely ignored) many of these people have been on the brink of death and/or become increasingly more and more frail. Phil Collins will make it to DL sooner than Biden will. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
