If Bojo carks it and the funeral is limited to ten people, there won't even be enough room for all his kids!

There might be, for all he knows.

A fair point, and you have to give a serial philanderer credit. When he advised people to stay home, he knew from deep personal experience the level of sacrifice he was asking!

ESPN/ABC basketball analyst Doris Burke--a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall Of Famer--revealed she tested positive for the virus on Wednesday.  She had her test on March 17 and received the results on Wednesday, 8 days later.  Apparently she was feeling very fatigued on March 11 (the last game she worked) and then was feeling so bad for three days that she could barely get out of bed.  Says she's thankful that she's feeling much better now.

Spain will get a civil war soonish (The next PP and Vox government vs Catalan nationalists) - so the indirect effect might kill a lot of political people there.

Former MLB baseball player Jim Edmonds is hospitalized with COVID-like symptoms and underwent a test, so we might have to add him to the list.  He's only 49 years of age.

Azam Khan, of the Khan squash dynasty, has died of COVID-19 aged 95. He was a four-time British Open champion.

Legend of the squash game. His elder brother Hashim Khan was more famous, but it is said Azam was better, but he wasn't allowed to beat Hashim for cultural reasons of respect for elder siblings.

 

I wonder if some people won't get QOs as papers won't have the space.
