Harvey Weinstein

I was wondering if, now that the trial is over and he's in jail, whether he still needs that Zimmer frame or if he has suddenly regained the use of his legs.

Adam Rutherford, broadcaster and author, has it. It's preventing him from reporting on it on the BBC Radio programme, Inside Science.

From a couple of days ago:

Hi all. Sorry for the lack of updates. I got full blown pneumonia on top of cv, and it almost killed me. The first antibiotics made me sick, but now I’m on clathromycin and they seem to be working. I didn’t go to hospital but probably should have.

ETA: He is also a very nice chap; I've met him two or three times at Skeptics in the Pub talks.

 

[zooterkin]

Oh no!

That said, looking at the BBC website...

Has it been clarified whether or not it is related to COVID-19?

Latest report I saw just says 'suspected'.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...orly-but-stable-after-night-in-intensive-care

Michael Rosen’s family has said that the poet, broadcaster and author, who is suffering from suspected coronavirus, is “very poorly at the moment” but is stable and alert after a night in intensive care.

Rosen, the author of beloved children’s books from We’re Going on a Bear Hunt to Little Rabbit Foo Foo, has been charting his illness on Twitter in recent weeks.

“Can’t stop my thermostat from crashing: icy hands, hot head. Freezing cold sweats. Under the covers for bed-breaking shakes. Image of war hero biting on a hankie, while best mate plunges live charcoal into the wound to cauterise it,” he wrote on 22 March.

Chris Cuomo, CNN anchor. His brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is pretty pissed that he may have exposed their Mom to the virus by inviting her over to visit.

Saw them on TV last night doing their "Mom likes me best" schtick again.

From ESPN:

Patrick McEnroe, the 16-time men's doubles champion and current ESPN tennis broadcaster, confirmed he has tested positive for the Covid-19 virus.

The 53-year-old former US Davis Cup captain broke the news of his positive test in a video posted on Twitter saying he first started feeling mild symptoms around 10 to 11 days ago.

McEnroe, the younger brother of eight-time major champion John McEnroe, said he was tested at a drive-through in upstate New York and received the positive results on Tuesday.

He used valet parking for it when he was in court. That's how he got infected!

RIP Andrew Jack.

And he was working on the new "Batman" film before he died. Cast and crew for that have not be be very nervous.
Ironic he worked on "Restoration" with Robert Downey Jr, snce the Great Plague of London in 1666 is a central plot point in the movie.

Eddie Large.

He's one of those that I thought "he was still alive?"

Manu Dibango: African saxophone legend dies of Covid-19 I had not heard of this guy, but reasonably famous.

Michael Jackson totally ripped off Manu Dibango!

Some of the riffs for "Wanna Be Starting Something" are direct lifts from "Soul Makossa".

He's one of those that I thought "he was still alive?"

Ditto. But he was the same age as one of my neighbours, and she's still working.
