Bit old for an escort, was he not?

Usually the Brazilian lads aged between 18 and 25 are the preferred choice amongst many male politicians.

As a matter of interest have any other world leaders caught corona yet or is Boris still the only one? He can't be surely ! 

Depends on if you believe Bolsanaro's test actually came back negative and he isn't straight up lying

Sounds like even if she survives she has some form of home care now which is interesting.

 

Not really, she's been very fragile for some time.   I saw her in concert about four years ago and she did the whole gig seated, and needed assistance to walk on and off stage.  She was great though.  I hope she comes through this.

I wonder if she is in a private hospital - mentions checking in rather than being rushed. Some private hospitals are still doing Corona treatment in the uk.

Tom Dempsey, the former NFL kicker who famously made a 63-yard FG in 1970 (on the final play to win the game), has died from complications of the coronavirus.  His 63-yard boot was the NFL record solely for 28 years and was shared for another 15 years after that, before Matt Prater broke the record with a 64-yarder in 2013.  His kick was even more famous because Dempsey was born without toes on his right foot (his kicking foot), and he wore a special shoe with a flattened toe surface.  

 

Apparently Dempsey had battled Alzheimer's and dementia since 2012, and tested positive for COVID-19 on March 25 at the nursing home in New Orleans where he resided.  Four days ago it was announced that he had recovered, but the good news was short-lived, obviously.  At least 15 residents of the Lambeth House retirement home have now died from the virus, according to the Times-Picayune.  

 

Dempsey was 73.

Please don't refer to his age in the past tense.

AFAIK, 2nd sitting politician to cark it of the virus in the States, after Isaac Robinson, sitting member of the Michigan HOR, who died at 44:

There was another sitting member who died at 76 who might have died of the virus on the 26th given her age and how far into the spread her death was, but no COD was given so not mentioning details here.

This is Alexander Thynn, eccentric mural painting free love advocate and critic puncher who was a popular cult pick on the DDP on and off going back 15 years!

 

Sods law, he's gone and died in a year no one actually picked him.

I am shocked he is not a hit for the DDP.

On looking back, he was actually picked by the one team for years who no longer take part. Then made a brief renaissance in 2017 on one of my theme teams, before disappearing again. So I was overegging the "popular cult pick" bit a tad...

Interestingly the two most well know British Victims have died in the region of the country with some of the lowest case figures.
