Has anyone famous died due to Covid?

We've lost a few famous people :( Today we lost Tim Brook-Taylor, a collaborator of John Cleese and the Monty Python clan. A really sad loss :(

    True.. but I guess for those who are famous, they give something that most of us don't? Like laughter, entertainment, wonderment.. to millions.. whereas on my best day, I only affect a small handful of people..  Their talent means they contribute more to people's lives?

    I didn't know that... We are all equal when it comes to nature and chance.....We are what we are by chance alone when you considers how many of  natures little swimmers have to compete with in the race for life

      Steve Jobs was an example of someone insanely wealthy who fell ill with a life-threatening condition and who first of all sought holistic cures worldwide before finally turning to traditional Western methods. Even with all of his financial assets and ease of traveling wherever he wanted to in order to experiment with options, the illness prevailed over him and took his life.

    Money and power can only assist in certain circumstances...it's never any guarantee that you will survive even a common cold   ...

    I hadn't heard of this latest one, but yes they certainly have. The one that got to me the most  so far, is John Prine.
