Silvio vs Francis

[drol 12,085]

Two prominent Italy based personalities, both born 1936, both in failing health for a while, both hospitalised twice this year and undergoing extensive stays.

 

Of course routine check-ups for both of them and there's no whatsoever danger for their health. So, who will go first?

Depends - are the Catholics right?

Leukemia means Silvio edges it for me

Francis

 

Either I get the poll right, or I jinx it and cause Silvio to go first, win win

Berlusconi looks fine and healthy in recent photographs, especially pictures taken on May 19th, approximately 2 months after his leukaemia diagnosis.  I am going to guess Berlusconi anyway, since leukaemia is an often fatal disease. Sometimes cancer patients can be really healthy for a while, then their health quickly starts to decline.

 

Meanwhile Pope Francis seems to have more health hospitalizations and health issues, but I don't think these are things that are fatal or tricky to survive. I think that he is simply suffering from stuff like chest pains, fevers, and classic sicknesses that every old person faces. I do suspect the Pope may be susceptible to a pneumonia death to his history of breathing issues.

I will also say Silvio first due to leukemia but I think both will be gone within the next 18 months or so.                                  I think we should do a Linda Nolan v Shannen Doherty thread poll. Both seem to be in the final throes of their terminal cancer spans.

Francis, but Silvio will die first 

[gcreptile 11,037]

Tough question... if you ask me who has a bigger chance of dying within the next weeks, it's Silvio. But I think he'll survive and then it's Pope Francis in a few months. Silvio might have another year or so.

I think it's hilarious that this poll suggests that Silvio Berlusconi will go to heaven.

I reckon both will just squeak into 2024. I can see Berlusconi going next February, and Francis in March about a month later.

Oops. Not getting my lottery numbers from you.

That was quick.

Never bet against a Jesuit, clearly.
