I've heard of several people now who have contracted it in Belgrade. Seems the hospitals are struggling to say the least. We might only be seeing the tip of the iceberg there.

According to his daughter, it was because doctors in the West "didn't have the guts" to put him in a coma.

Gimme five minutes and a cricket bat and I'll gladly put him in a coma.

 

[mystic pyjamas]

Just need that other Canadian arsehole to join him.

 

[maomao]

I know it's very unpleasant coming off benzos but going halfway round the world to get put in a coma rather than face up to withdrawal doesn't suggest the kind of strength of character I would expect from someone trying to sell a book called twelve fucking rules for life. Arsehole.

Ok he's not dead but

I was on a conference call at work and for some reason I can't remember someone said they rate him highly. I kept my gob shut and wondered if there was a namesake who was more wholesome. They certainly weren't shy about it - and another person enthusiastically agreed with them.

Formula One sleezebag Flavio Briatore owns a night club tastefully called Billionaire Club, he complained that the Italian government tightened restrictions on nightclubs as the rate of infection began to climb again, his club then became a Covid hotspot and he’s struck down bad and has been rushed to hospital. He’s 70, so well worth a punt on this thread.

Goes back a long way. Was in Indira Ghandi’s government. Tipped by most observers as her successor, but wasn’t. Done a bit of party hopping after her assassination.

I was thinking David Sylvian. I had to click to find out it was a footballer. Still not sure what a Sociedad is, fake or otherwise.

With that being the case (wonder how he sounded?), let's really hope that his case is not too severe.
He sent out a message** earlier this year saying he and band want to resume gigs in 2021 ......

(**To the Bearded Theory festival community -- for-ever ago, he was scheduled to appear there, back in May)

<crosses fingers, mainly for HIM, but also for him eventually being able to do what he loves -- performing >
