arghton 4,612 Posted March 15 All the talk about Carter's longevity and immortality reminded me, over a year ago I saw this post by drol while searching for something: On 06/12/2019 at 20:28, drol said: The brand-new generation of immortals created in 2019: 1)Jimmy Carter: melanoma which metastasized to the brain, fall with cerebral hemorrhage, urinary infection, continuos hospitalizations and being over 95. None of this thing suffice to kill the old peanut lover. 2)Lata Mangeshkar: spending a week on life support for acute respiratory failure and a month in ICU is not enough to kill a 90-year old overweight national icon. Another pearl from the country of immortals. 3)Balbir Singh Sr.: Acute respiratory and heart failure, 14 days on life support, three months in ICU, a heart attack and another fortnight in ICU, pneumonia and again in ICU with respiratory failure. Nothing is enough to kill a 95 year old man who breathes through a tube. 4)Daniel arap Moi: Repeated hospitalizations, acute respiratory failure and almost a week on life support, over two months in hospital, one of whom in ICU. Still no harm to the 95 year old dictator. 5)Leiji Matsumoto: Suffers severe stroke and put on life support. Two weeks later discharged in excellent conditions- 6)Manolis Glezos: 97-year old resistance fighter, neurological problems, in ICU with heart and respiratory failure, and great deterioration in general health. The natural outcome, he survives and is discharged in good health. 7)Desmond Tutu: prostate cancer for 20 years (!!!!), continuos hospitalizations for infections, 88 year old, but, no, hey, he is well and goes home again. 8)Everton Weekes: heart attack in June, minimizes everything, again hospitalized for medical emergency some months later, and presumably still recovers at 94. 9)Dilip Kumar: No one heard anything from him from over a year. This guy is 97 and was continuosly hospitalized for pneumonia and infections, plus he has late stage dementia and is likely to be a vegetable with kidney failure on permanent dialysis. 10)Hau Pei-tsun: severe stroke at 99, still going at 100 and no hints at a possible demise. Almighty science in keeping alive human cases. I didn't double-check, but I think he's been the last survivor of this list since Leiji Matsumoto died last month. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THESNOWFANATIC 3 Posted March 15 Hello, I'm new here. From looking at President Biden's statement about delivering Carter's eulogy, it seems like it's probably the cancer that was "cured" back in 2015 by immunotherapy that has come back to eventually claim him, though Carter seems to have the fighting spirit of a wolverine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 324 Posted Monday at 16:29 As long as he doesn't pass away at the end of April. I've just bought two tickets to go see Obama in the Ziggo Dome on the 1st of May and a state funeral on that day might just be a hindrance to the whole event 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
