Looks like a corpse: Apparently soon after retiring he fell down the stairs and suffered a spinal injury. 2015 article. I assume he was paralyzed from waist down and seems like he can't move his other arm either. That picture is from December 2020 and he was already in bad health back then.

arghton 6,738 Posted February 6, 2022 Oceania doesn't have any immortals. I gathered some candidates that could be worthy now or later... Bill Hayden (1933-2023) Aussie governor-general who was hospitalised for seven months after suffering a stroke and a fall in 2014. Rumored to be in frail health and in a nursing home, reappears when he was baptized in 2018, looked very frail. How the hell is he still alive? Tui Ātua Tupua Tamasese Efi (1938-) and Ati George Sokomanu (1937-) Oceanian former despots heads of state. Efi looks frail and will be 84 next month, Sokomanu is 85 and was widowed in 2020. And also recently saw a new (taken a couple of months ago) picture of one of the folks on my old lists: On 10/04/2021 at 19:21, arghton said: Ele Alenius (born 1925) The "He's still alive?" guy of Finland, a former parliament member and party leader, minister in the 60s and 70s and author. Had a stroke in 2018 and moved to a care home in 2021. Looks great for someone who suffered a stroke and a fall at 92/93 Quite a lot of immortals falling recently. 5 in January, 3 this far in February and it's only the 7th! Compare to the first three months of 2021, only had 6 deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,738 Posted February 10, 2022 Ajeery's Arabic wiki page is pretty interesting. Pretty much a national hero in Kuwait for his work in the field of astronomy. He'd been in declining health since his 80s according to that wiki page, unable to talk clearly and mostly bedbound since 2015 or before, also nearly completely blind and deaf for his last years with a ton of illnesses, still survived covid. Anyways, seems to have been a great guy. Cared for his siblings after his mother died, cared for his wife when she was in bad condition with osteoporosis. Owned pigeons and was also a poet, magician and an actor. Rest in Peace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,738 Posted February 14, 2022 Would Chaim Kanievsky be worthy of becoming an immortal? Old friend of Dovid, ultraorthodox rabbi, now 94 and with many health troubles in as Drol mentioned over a year ago: He hasn't left his house much during the last years, overweight, apparently senile and doesn't know who the prime minister of his country is, nearly deaf and survived covid in 2020 when he was reported to be in "worsening" and "deteriorating" condition by the Israeli press. But despite all of this he's now doing pretty well. He's also been one of the most ghoul-looking people alive for the last decade: I have no idea what's happening in the second picture. Looks like he's examining a pair of limes but shows how large he is. And the three other names I'll put here, they have some potential: Dagny Carlsson (1912-2022) Hospitalised multiple times, most recently in January 2022, has survived multiple bouts of pneumonia after 105. Satya Mohan Joshi Pneumonia, UTI, pulmonary edema and gastritis in 2014, pneumonia and heart issues in 2021, pneumonia and UTI in 2022. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee "Young", but he's looked like a corpse for yeara, suffering from COPD for ages and also has lung and heart diseases. Hospitalised in 2019 on BIPAP support with breathing problems and high bp, hospitalised in "very critical" condition and put on ventilator in December 2020 with serious breathing problems and lacunar infarcts, survived being in ICU with covid in May 2021. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,946 Posted February 19, 2022 Joshi, Kanievsky and Bhattacharjee deservedly enter the list of immortals. That's it for this year. Have to say it was a serious battle between Chaim and Gershon Edelstein. Better luck next year, you Orthodox cunt. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,738 Posted February 20, 2022 I was wondering how much of them, from the living immortals were born in 1924 or 1927, decided to do a list of the Immortals from this thread by year of birth: 1902 OR 1903: Kane Tanaka 1904: Lucile Randon 1909: Lawrence Brooks, Juan Vicente Perez Mora 1912: Shi Ping 1913: G.

Nobody seems to really know. Fauja Singh: Likely born ca. 1928. Definitely not born in 1911, though. Chief Raoni Metuktire: Reported either "ca. 1930" or as Wikipedia says, 1932 (exact birthdate not known) Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf: Born either 1937 or 1940. Joseph Lagu: 1929 or 1931 Muja: between 1925 and 1937 (Kabosu excluded) Now if I haven't forgotten someone, the "strongest" years are 1930 (7 living immortals!), 1924 (6), 1923 (5), 1920 and 1926 (both have 4) 1923 was somehow left almost unscathed by 2021 and this far 2022 too, only death from that cohort of immortals since Dec 2020 has been Bob Dole. Might change soon as most of them are incredibly frail. I'm also suprised how all the Chinese ones are still alive. There's 12 of them (eight from the Dec 2020 list, four from the Dec 2021 additions), four of them centenarians (including a 107-year-old and someone who will be 105 in two months) and some who seem to have been gravely ill for...too long. By country of birth, excluding countries in Asia: AMERICAS: US: Jimmy Carter, Joanne Woodward, Henry Kissinger, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bob Barker Peru: Alberto Fujimori Mexico: Luis Echeverria Brazil: Raoni Metuktire, Paulo Maluf Nicaragua: Violeta Chamorro EUROPE: UK: Leslie Phillips, Sidney Cooke Spain: Carmen Sevilla France: Jean-Louis Trintignant Italy (at the time Austria-Hungary): Boris Pahor Belarus (at the time Second Polish Republic): Chaim Kanievsky (now lives in Israel) AFRICA: Tanzania (at the time Tanganyika): David Musuguri, Maria Nyerere Botswana (at the time Bechuanaland Protectorate): Gaositwe Chiepe Senegal (at the time Frech Senegal): Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow, Abdoulaye Wade Zambia (at the time Northern Rhodesia): Emmanuel Milingo Kenya (at the time Kenya Colony): Mwai Kibaki Tunisia (at the time French protectorate of Tunisia): Driss Guiga Egypt (at the time Kingdom of Egypt): Yusuf Qaradawi ..... Updates: Carmen Sevilla: "Completely lost her memory but fine and perfectly cared for" Her alzheimers is "very advanced", I assume this means that she's bedbound and unable to talk but currently not ill with anything else, for example infections. Wan Haifeng: "Still healthy at 101" V. S. Achuthanandan: "Bedridden" Paulo Maluf: "In semi-intensive care with covid since the 18th, but on the mend and going to be discharged soon" as mentioned in the Hospitalised thread. Now discharged. Boris Pahor: Frail but can still give interviews as mentioned in the Centenarians thread. Mahathir Mohamad: As mentioned in his thread, can't lead his party but can participate in politics, has almost completely recovered from his December/January heart disease. However he's recovered well and can now walk without a stick and even ride a bike. Yu Miu-Lin: Celebrates 84th birthday in advance, wheelchairbound. General Thura U Tin Oo: Hospitalised with covid on the 18th of February, discharged on the 28th of February. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,738 Posted March 4, 2022 Chaim Kanievsky took part in a baking ceremony two days ago: He mostly sleeps, but (with assistance) pours one glass of water into a bowl at around 0:48 and at 1:11 holds an item with his hand (and seems like that hand is a bit swollen) Also, didn't know he was born in Pinsk, which is now in Belarus.
