Boris Johnson now admitted to hospital. He did look a bit feverish the last time he made a video appearance a few days ago.

Boris latest.

Do we really need to comment on every celebrity who caught the virus? It's just not especially newsworthy. Think about the thousands of people who don't even get access to medical treatment and are fighting for their existence. I get that one is obviously more affected when it comes to family and friends, but celebrities??

You're actually commenting on it on a website dedicated to a famous "celebrity" rock band.

Plus, the people who are significant in our lives aren't necessarily just the ones we know personally.

So? I am just stating the absurd behaviour of commenting about people just because they are celebrities.
Just like these doubtful RIP threads...

No, that maybe true. But come on, unless you know Marianne or any other celebrity personally, you ain't really caring more than about your friends, now do you?

Seems to me there's room in the world to have compassion for family, friends, celebrities, and even complete unknown strangers.
But not sure why it's such a big deal to you what anyone thinks about anybody else? Nobody's forcing you to show some love and have a heart, or even read this thread.

Agree

In addition it is a good reminder that this virus is an equalizer.
From Prime Ministers to A-list actors and revered musicians, no one is immune.

BRILLIANTLY put. Is there ANYONE in the world you'd honestly wish this upon? Much as I detest Trump, I SINCERELY would not wish Covid-19 to visit him or his family.

Thanks Hairball,Rocky Dijon and MisterDDDD.

I only posted Marianne Faithfull has Coronavirus because she was part of the Stones story in the 60's, and come to think of it she was pictured having tea with Keith on the No Filter UK 2018 tour. I hope the Stones are helping with her medical bills if needed.

She is in hospital in London U.K. you can have private medical insurance here in the U.K. if you wish but it makes no difference in the case of emergency admission into hospital where everyone is treated equally on the national health service.No one here in the U.K. will be receiving any bills for Coronavirus treatment.

Awful. He was a longtime friend and associate. A great guy.

My heart goes out to the doctors medics
nurses and all who are risking their lives
to treat those who are affected by the virus ……. so brave in what they do

Jackson Browne has the virus & his tour with James Taylor is postponed indefinetly. Taylor canceled his yearly Tanglewood performance that would have been in Lenox, Massachusetts on July 4th. James Taylor and wife Kim donated $1.35 million to 2 Massachusetts hospitals to help control the coronavirus and supply hospitals with needed equipment. Thank You James! Being a resident of Massachusetts, I can say we sure do love our Native Son!

My office is reopening on 14 April. I’m unsure how I feel about this. A huge part of me is really eager to return, whilst another part is lingered with doubt.

Big Al where are you roughly?
