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.

Sorry, I'll be sure to use unregistered's instantly canonical emoji guidelines next time.

in fairness and this may be catholic background here, id have said twas utterly canonical, yeah

I was deeply saddened to hear this morning that William Helmreich—the incredible CUNY sociologist who walked every block of the five boroughs multiple times to produce a detailed ethnography of NYC—has died of COVID: https://t.co/z3RCzEilzA

wtf is a "death dagger"

Ken Shimura (maybe Japan's equivalent of Tom Hanks or Robin Williams?) has died of COVID-19 at age 70.

Unicode value U+2020 (dagger, obelisk or obelus) - often used alongside asterisk to indicate DoB/DoD:

Mozart *1765 †1791

Indicates obsolescence in dictionaries.

Michael Rosen, in ICU yesterday but on a ward now and "ok, stable and alert" according to Twitter

Yeah shit about Rosen, hopefully on the mend but can’t imagine ICU is where anyone wants to be right now. Or any time I guess.

protect michael rosen at all costs imo

I’m confused about how Prince Charles is supposedly all clear after only 7 days.

Lizard anatomy is different.

yeah he'll have just sloughed off his infected organs

Wrong, he's actually an elder vampire:

“Sloughed off” is such a amazingly disgusting phrase

Pure Anglo-Saxon poetry.

I couldn't suppress an inappropriate chuckle for a second then!

Praying for you, the Chuckle Brother.
