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

Michael Rosen, in ICU yesterday but on a ward now and "ok, stable and alert" according to Twitter
― Let's kill the Queen and be legends (Noodle Vague), Monday, 30 March 2020 16:23 (four years ago) link
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.
