What folk seem to forget is that anyone and everyone can pop their clogs no matter what age - even when it comes to Covid-19.

That said, with sport and the entertainment industry (major sources of news normally) shutting down, the threshold for what is newsworthy outside of CV is going to be so low that a lot of people who wouldn't have obited in normal times will do so, just so newspapers/online websites still have something else to write about, albeit something depressing like death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it will go the other way around,this is gonna be like dying on 9/11. A lot of lower tier older celebs or notables from decades past who usually still scrape obits will get forgotten under the radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
