arghton 6,640 Posted December 13, 2021 Yeah, no doubt that she is ill (judging from Prime Minister, her political opponent Sheikh Hasina's statements) but the Bangladesh press and her party are probably adding all the ailments and diseases they happen to know of into her long list of illnesses. She has (decompensated?) cirrhosis, heart problems and (uncontrolled?) diabetes, has had internal bleeding around 6/7 times now, urinary tract infection a while ago, blood clots, fever multiple times, had serious covid this year, (untreated?) arthritis/osteoarthritis/rheumatoid arthritis, dental problems, some troubles with her eyes and trouble breathing. The Bangladesh press have reported (usually without proper sources) that she also has CKD, "lung and kidney diseases", "serious heart ailment", depression, hypertension, asthma, a mysterious autoimmune disease, heart failure, paralytic deformity on her hand, unstable haemoglobin, "ear ailments", a mild stroke in 2018 and "other old age diseases" She's been in a wheelchair for ages and already looked like a corpse before getting covid but if she was as ill as they claim her to be, she would've died atleast ten times during the last year. My prediction is that she'll go around January/February 2022 as I am pretty sure she is actually very ill this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cesar Virata on his 91st birthday yesterday. You would've thought that a stroke, a bad case of covid that caused him to be intubated and pneumonia would've taken its toll on him but apparently nope, he looks exactly like he did a couple of years ago.
