"We have gotten through Covid-19 stronger and healthier". Don't start that. Be thankful you've regained your former health and strength, don't start touting it as a health cure.

Agreed. But he is not famous for his brains.

I know him as DEVO.
My kid grew up with him on a kids show called "Yo Gabba Gabba" where his segment taught kids to draw "Mark's Magic Pictures".
When I showed her the old DEVO punk videos, she still thought it was a kids show.

Is that confirmed to be COVID? I know he was not in good health in other ways, and had severe dementia, so I was not surprised to hear that he had died irrespective of COVID (even though he was only 76).
The last time I saw Devo was during the Republican primary season. Mark dedicated the song "Mongoloid" to Ted Cruz; it was horrible, inappropriate and awesome.
That sucks about Toots Hibbard. They are still playing festivals, during the past few years. Hope he recovers.

Robert Pattinson has tested positive, 3 days after production of The Batman had restarted.

All reports from various news sources I have read today say Lewy Body Dementia and COVID 19 was the cause of death. Pneumonia is one of the ways LBD is supposed to take you out so if he was COVID 19 as well, that probably accelerated the chances of his demise.

On a wrestling related note:
WWE wrestler AJ Styles and TV interviewer Renee Young also tested positive.
And apparently there are several more (unnamed) wrestlers that gave it.

But if it wasn't due solely to Covid, it doesn't count!

Who was that masked man?
"He [Dewayne Johnson] also encouraged his viewers to wear a mask. "It baffles me that some people out there, including some politicians, will take this idea of wearing a mask and make it a political agenda," he admitted. "It has nothing to do with politics. Wear your mask. It is a fact and it is the right thing to do and it's the responsible thing to do, not only for yourself, but for your family and loved ones and also for your fellow human beings.""

Yeah, I wasn’t really fair to him with that comment. He did not get where he is by being stupid. It would be a shame if his family took all the precautions and ended up infected anyway. It is good that they got through it ok.

I'm not sure who Toots Hibbert is, but this report suggests he has died of coronavirus.

Only knew of Toots and the Maytals from their Glastonbury appearances, but by all accounts a significant loss to the world of reggae.
Not so famous, but well known here, RemieV, late of this parish, has Covid-19, and has been posting updates on her progress on Facebook.
