    That's not entirely clear - he had coronavirus and he died. It's not clear how much that contributed to his death.

      Sounds like heart failure was the big one. Who knows if he'd have pulled through without contracting it?

      Shows that self-isolation is so important with NHS staff stretched so much.
      Three key phrases from the whole thing:
      Don't trust China
      Flatten the curve
      Viral load
      The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

        Very likely that heart failure would have killed him at some point but probably also a good chance that COVID-19 pushed it over the edge.

                Indeed. As I was reminded while hopping around after clobbering myself with a mallet hammering stakes into the ground last weekend. Do not do anything risky. Do not eat toffees. Etc.

                  I only have to hear a snippet of that song, and I'm seeing the Hugh Grant scene as he walks through Notting Hill market - such a great song for a beautifully shot scene (even if you don't like romcoms, it's hard not to like that scene I think).
                  I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

                    Sad that he is no longer with us.

                    Too soon?

                    He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

                    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
