Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread

Paul Goma, Romanian writer and anti-communist dissident, 84.

Apparently also an antisemite

Par for the course tbh.

Boris Akunin / Grigori Chkhartishvili, author of the Erast Fandorin novels.

Kirstie Allsopp’s husband(?) got it, then they travelled to her second home in Devon where they infected her sister. Who then went to Scotland.

I have family in Devon, she's going on my ~list~

also apparently I confuse Kirstie Allsopp and Sarah Vine bcz I was all ???Michael Gove???

Marguerite Aucouturier, French psychoanalyst, wife of Jacques Derrida.

Michael Sorkin - https://archinect.com/news/article/150191096/michael-sorkin-visionary-and-incisive-architect-educator-critic-has-passed-away-from-covid-19

Actor Mark Blum (recently on TV in Succession, You, and Mozart in the Jungle)

Rapper Scarface has tested positive.

We could probably do with some convention one way or another to say who's infected and who's gone?

yes this is necessary I think, these are gonna pile up and we'll have some unnecessary scares

I was appending (+) upthread

dude wtf scarface???

BORIS JOHNSON

Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.

Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives pic.twitter.com/9Te6aFP0Ri

Sooooooo, when did he last meet the Queen?

You reckon she gave it to him?

in the spirit of reaching out across the political divide I hope his death is painless

Pmqs was yesterday, he could have infected tons of MPs (including Corbyn :( )

bloody melts

Virginia USA: a Virginia pastor who claimed the “mass hysteria” around the coronavirus pandemic was part of a media plot against Trump, has died from the virus.

He was on his way back from New Orleans “washing it of sin and debauchery” when he fell ill.

Till Lindeman, lead singer of Rammstein, is in ICU w/ corona https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/unterhaltung/leute/leute/corona-drama-till-lindemann-auf-intensivstation-69663218,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html#fromWall

we believe he has it?

or is it the "under medical advice" of hiding in a fridge

Pmqs was yesterday, he could have infected tons of MPs (including Corbyn :( )

hope he didn't shake hands for Corb's last PMQs or anything

Two swords and one inch > 2m rule

So me and Boris Johnson having the virus is pure coincidence- honest 😳

Nooooo :'-(((

Oh she's still alive, thankfully.

a plus sign is one of the worst possible symbols to indicate that a person is still living! it looks too much like a death dagger (†), so I when I scroll through this thread I keep assuming the plussed celebrities have died and the non-plussed ones are merely ill. I suggest using the 💀 and 😷 emojis to eliminate confusion

yes

Oh she's still alive, thankfully.

As is Dominic Cummings, somewhat less thankfully.

Come on Paul, chuck him a tenner.
