As this forum is about death (and struggle in life too…) it is the right place for you to talk if you need, mainly on those uncertain times of fear and loneliness. I tend to see this forum as a big family (there's the uncle that no one wants to see, the teen who is a bit ahead of his time, the grumpy mother…) and if you need some support, I think (or I hope) everyone here would be really happy to give it to you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted March 24, 2020 Closing on on a first legit victim not 80 and suffering from other shite. David Edwards, a former Texas A&M star who led the Southwest Conference in (basketball) assists, has died. Former Aggie teammates said he had been in intensive care, but died of coronavirus in his hometown of New York. News of his death broke late Monday. An A&M spokesman said he had seen reports from Edwards' teammates that he had died. Edwards played for A&M from 1991-94, and averaged 13.5 points, 7.1 assists and 2.7 steals in his career with the Aggies. His 265 assists led the Southwest Conference in 1994.

Yes, in an attempt to sensationalize something that does not need to. The virus killed Manu Dibango, Lucia Bosè and Terrence McNally. I can also understand the notability of Vittorio Gregotti (one of the most important Italian architects of last century), Germà Colon (a respected Catalan philologist) the Iranian politicians and some MPs of Italy/France/Spain. But the rest surely would not get an article if not for the fucking COVID and just pollute the recent deaths page. EDIT: and Lorenzo Sanz of course. The virus had a respectable score, even without exaggerations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence I don’t see the need to sensationalise it further by taking notice of obscure Zimbabwean journalists, doctors who died on the job or mayors of small towns etc. It’s just hysterical.
