Or did he. Lots of speculation it was cover while they tried unsuccessfully to stop him quitting the play.

Pelosi tested positive

 

Just a normal positive test wouldn't be relevant enough to post here, but should note that she's in her 80s, so might have bearing

Think it’s important to add that she was in close proximity to Biden whilst unmasked at a White House event a day ago.

Can we stop discussing about the common cold?

 

That's what it has become honestly. Number of COVID deaths on wiki has been the lowest for months. Bit anacronistic posts above.

Disagree. We are one or two mutations away from 2020. We can't do much to stop it, but that also doesn't mean we should stop discussing it.

 

If you can show me statistics saying someone with the common cold has similar chances of survival/death as COVID-19, you might have a point.

[TQR 14,396]

I think the point really is that the pandemic has become endemic, (largely through mishandling it worldwide) to the extent where people testing positive is not newsworthy in the slightest. And it is less dangerous now, both through mutations and the vast majority being vaccinated.

 

It’s only worth posting in this thread if someone has just died of Covid.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

While I wouldn’t underestimate COVID I certainly don’t think it’s as threatening as it was in 2020.

I can agree with that

DJ Kay Slay (wiki) on life support with COVID.

 

Might be a case again, but he is not vaccinated.

Almost five months to die... definitely took his biscuit.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

I had to look 3 1/2 pages in to find this thread.  That’s cuz almost no one dies from COVID anymore.  
Ahhh, but lookie!  Imagine an Ambassador to China catching COVID.  I know, right?

 

The Philippines' ambassador to China, Jose Santiago "Chito" Sta. Romana passed away while in coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine, the country's Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) informed. He was 74. Up

His Wiki page reports he had an autoimmune disease that affected his lungs, which seems to have made his bout of Covid worse, contributing to his death

In this context, Azam Khan, the Cup and MMMDP pick, still hospitalised even though he's COVID negative now:

However, he's had a bladder infection which is now under control. And several other infections, for example, in his lung. Still, he's "stable". 

For the "crooks trying to avoid jail" series, Azam Khan back in hospital.

Hope he can hang on for a bit longer.

Derek Draper's problem was/is a sepsis in his kidneys. They could save one, and are still trying to save the other:
