That was incredibly well written although I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

This is a notably-recovering post. I mentioned CNN's Brooke Baldwin on April 3, then I didn't hear a word about her after that; she posted a first-hand account this morning.

(Though in checking it might not have been because of COVID -- the piece is more about mourning in this time.)

Marianne Faithfull has been discharged from the hospital and is home recuperating.

Sad news to report.
I heard from Samantha Fox’s sister this afternoon that Samantha passed away on April 22nd. The suspected cause was cardio-vascular illness with CV-19 complications.
She will be sadly missed. pic.twitter.com/go1K4nPf3M

Stasia Therese Angela Micula, known by the stage name Samantha Fox (born December 3, 1951), is an American B-movie and pornographic film actress.

I was similarly confused, there appear to have been Sam Foxes on either side of the Atlantic

The C64 strip poker lady is still alive.

Reminds me: leading science reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr. keeps popping up on NPR , in amazeballs speculation-anticipation re coming New Post-Sick Elite, and hey, he's from the New York Times---but I haven't heard any scientists who seemed more than hopeful about this, in a low-key way.

man, covid really brought out hte very worst in some people

I have covid 19. At least I think I do. Last night a sinister figure leaped out and hissed at me: “hey there, high quality test kits for only $100 a pop!”

Fuck:

The tweet from Neera Tanden (above): "I have the coronavirus. I’ve been sick for a week, and really, really fatigued, with muscle pain. So far, thankfully, no fever and my oxygen levels are fine. But I was super careful, wore masks, carried hand sanitizer. Haven’t really socialized with friends."

I haven't dwelled on such stories recently, but this will never stop baffling me.

Some suspicion that Gang of Four's Andy Gill may have been an earlier, undiagnosed victim of Covid-19: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/01/spate-of-possible-uk-coronavirus-cases-from-2019-come-to-light

Yup. Matt Johnson of The The appears to be down with Miss Rona too.

his post about it implied he was in the hospital for a throat infection.

There's some fairly graphic pictures of him post-op on his website.
