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

Horrible news. The Senegalese Pape Diouf, ex-president of Marseille's football club just died from the coronavirus. He was one of the few Black men to occupy an executive seat in a european big club.

Ah crap, Andrew Jack died from it. Really loved him in the documentaries for Jackson's LOTR films, he was the on-site dialect coach, and a great presence. Also was in some of the new Star Wars films.
