arghton 6,114 Posted March 16, 2022 New Wang Huo interview here: https://www.sohu.com/a/529795287_116237 Talks about how he was the first reporter to interview Nanjing massacre victims, says that he hasn't been outside after the pandemic started (which apparently has taken a toll on his health, as he used to walk outside every day before covid) and that he can't eat meat (except chicken legs, those he can't resist) due to health problems and has a bad appetite. He's also had a "major surgery" at some point recently and is still recovering from it and his multiple hospitalisations during the last year(s), but now doing well. Also says that Teacher Ma (Ma Shitu, fellow immortal and a good friend of Huo) will never stop writing. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2275319/plans-afoot-for-queen-sirikits-90th There are plans for Queen Sirikit's 90th birthday. I assume they expect she'll be alive in August. Couldn't find anything new on Shahabuddin Ahmed. Now nearly three weeks since he was "critically ill", either he's very slowly dying or very slowly recovering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,114 Posted March 18, 2022 Apparently had suffered a few days of deteriorating health, but was not hospitalised because "he was treated at home" Collapsed at his home. They tried to perform CPR on him, but that didn't work. Edit: Apparently they did CPR on him for around an hour or more. Sounds very brutal and cruel, considering he was an extremely frail 94-year-old who was probably unable to walk during his last years. CPR is usually a bad option for people over 80 as it can break ribs and cause lung injuries. Rest in Peace, he wasn't a complete asshole like Gershon Edelstein who recently defended a rapist. Chaim also, unlike many religious authorities, was taught to become a religious authority from a very young age. He spent most of his time reading religious texts, likely didn't have any knowledge outside of religion and was reportedly (and always had been) unable to perform simple tasks like making a cup of tea, but had a bit of common sense unlike Edelstein and many others.

arghton 6,114 Posted April 2, 2022 Juan Ponce Enrile today: Cesar Virata two weeks ago: Both still participating in events and sharp. As mentioned a few times Virata, Marcos' "economic tsar" (miraculously, as described by his wife) survived being intubated for a week after suffering a stroke, covid and pneumonia in 2020. Seems like he's completely recovered by now and looks the same as he looked 8 years ago. JPE survived dengue and pneumonia in 2015, has looked the same for years and apparently wants to live to 110. Seems like they're indestructible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cognizant 7 Posted April 8, 2022 Don't you think that it would be better to call immortals those people who don't even turn senile? life in an almost dead body falling apart could hardly be called "immortality".

arghton 6,114 Posted April 19, 2022 22 hours ago, arghton said: Satya Mohan Joshi was hospitalised in ICU with (recurrent) urinary tract infection, swollen heart (possibly also congestive heart failure as reported by some articles), atrial fibrillation, dilated cardiomyopathy, acute kidney injury and traction fibro-bronchiectasis with pleural thickening in his respiratory tract five days ago but according to the latest report he's improving. Of course. The second report says that he also has a heart tumor. Well...some sources also say that he has had a heart attack recently before being hospitalised and has BEP, whatever that is. He's 101. It'd be a miracle if he got out of hospital alive. Already a miracle that he's lasted six days there if he's actually that ill and is somehow improving, whatever that means. It's a month since the last death, so here's the ones who seem to be circling the drain fast now or currently hospitalised: Paulo Maluf: In 24/7 care at home surrounded by a medical team, demented and has been unable to walk since 2019. Kane Tanaka: In and out of hospital since January. Satya Mohan Joshi: See above Alberto Fujimori: Hospitalised, again as mentioned in his thread. However it seems to be because his pardoning is taking so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
