Superb analysis @msc, agree with everything you say. What a mad time 2010 was - and now look at it!

No politician is more frail than this chap.  Suicidal even.

Jozsef Szajer quit as an MEP on Sunday and later said he was present at a "private party."  The police found Szajer and 24 other naked men at the gathering, including diplomats, local reports said.  Szajer played a key role in the Orban government's crackdown on LGBTQ rights in Hungary.

Geelani doing well and not positive to COVID. What a missed opportunity.

Well-written article by his granddaughter about how he was on the very brink of death, but unexplicably recovered.

 

His family is convinced it happened because CoffinLodger announced he was done on this forum, but I could not find the post they are referring to.

Rep. Dick Hinch, a Republican who was elected speaker of the New Hampshire House just one week ago, died of COVID-19 on Wednesday.

Unsure if he was at one of Trumps rallys or super spreader events, but is now dead.

Sarbanes and Oxley are now both dead. Both boxes ticked! [a bit of an audit joke there].

DL might have picked the wrong Algerian president, as Abdelmadjid Tebboune is transferred to Germany, presumably for COVID treatment.

Tebboune finally appears on video, though his treatment will require another two/three weeks.

I must admit I never knew they had changed it's name to Eswantini. Also this should probably be posted on the COVID thread but never mind.
