Mike Longo, Prominent Jazz Pianist Known For His Tenure with Dizzy Gillespie, Dies at 83

RIP. Saw him a few months ago, not playing, but working the door at Baha’i Center like he always did, when they put were putting on some music.

Less than two months ago, Feb 4z

Weinstein my first case of COVID schadenfreude.

Marc Almond, though seems like he's making his way through it

As of a couple days ago, John Prine is in quarantine because his wife has it and his test results are indeterminate.

well shit on that

Nashom Wooden / Mona Foot, drag star and member of The Ones has died after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Flawless remains one of the greatest singles of the era imo.

RIP Manu Dibango. :(

Prince Charles!

Sure he has seen his parents in the last couple of weeks!

Boris Johnson, the buffoon who killed the queen.

stop don’t make me appreciate boris johnson

you can appreciate his head on its spike on Westminster Bridge if he manages to kill the queen.

C-C-C-C-COMBO

I'M LOVING THIS RONA

Kirstie Allsopp’s husband(?) got it, then they travelled to her second home in Devon where they infected her sister. Who then went to Scotland.

I saw that furore. Good to know it's not just the feckless poor who can contract the virus.

Jackson Browne

the guy who'd attended 1076 Charlton games in a row until now has died from this aged 38

the first time this has felt like the end of something tbh

Sorry man :-(

ty. this one has hit home v hard but i guess it makes less sense if you're not a fan of the soccer team i follow

Not at all. I can imagine it being someone from the team I follow, or someone from the field I work in etc. All too well.

wtf at "soccer" though, are you feeling unwell?

LBI otm, on both parts.

Paul Goma, Romanian writer and anti-communist dissident, 84.

Jon Spencer.

Bob Bert, drummer with Spencer's band The Hitmakers, had only just shifted the Covid and rejoined the tour.

Bob Mould.

I’m guessing this thread will soon include any touring musician

yeah the last month of my instagram feed has been an emotional rollercoaster of "tour starts this weekend, cant wait to get back out there!"/"the bug caught up with us, next five dates are cancelled!"

Neil Finn.

I wonder if we should divide this thread into: “Sick with Covid” and “Tested Positive and cancelled some dates out of caution but is otherwise fine”.

...and "Dead". When I casually open this thread, I often get a shock that someone has "fallen".

out of caution

We all have fallen… short of the glory of Christ

for a sec I thought the drummer for gay dad had a substack

(considering how that thread is bumped)

Anti-vaxxer Eric Clapton gets Covid and has to cancel shows https://t.co/wnJGKNZcmt

Don't feel sorry for this dingus one bit, tbh

This thread has a lot fewer deaths now than when it started, which reflects how the character of the pandemic (at least in the developed nations) has been changing. Helluva lotta infections, not so many fatal ones.

Wait for EC to recover then drone on about how this means the disease was never a problem in the first place, etc

would you know my name
if I infected u in heaven

COVID
You got on my knees
COVID
I beg ya for some bleach

Funniest thing is ge didn't become anti-vax til after he got it

In a white room
With privacy curtains
Near a ventilator

i get off on anti-vaxxer bullshit
i get off on not wearing a mask
but the bug infects me every time it gets me
i’ve got a covid-full i’ve got a covid-full heart

Jimmy Kimmel, for the second time in 15 days.

since we’re at it:

No shot for Eric
I won’t have you shoot your shit in me

Nobody knows where Eric Clapton contracted covid from, the only thing we know for sure is that if he got it from Rita Coolidge, he won't give her credit for it.

lmao

The perfection.

wait how

He went back to work and taped maskless for a week in between, I guess

He means reinfections typically don't happen that quickly.

I wonder if he took Paxlovid, esp to speed up recovery . There's apparently a 'rebound' effect for some patients where the pills don't completely knock out the virus in 5 days, but gets it to undetectable levels, and the immune system, which got a break for 5 days, let's the virus rebound and re-emerge as essentially a new infection.

I know he said his daughter gave it to him but idk.

If he took a PCR test, they show positive long after you clear infection (for weeks). I assume he knows that and probably took a rapid though

Pretty sure Clapton has smoked since like 1961 so that can't be good

ah, that explains the assholism

He means reinfections typically don't happen that quickly.

They’re getting faster, though - there was the Spanish hospital worker who got omicron 20 days after Delta, in January

Some kind of testing glitch is more likely re Kimmel, but maybe he’s just, once again, a pioneer

To Neanderthal's point. here's Bob Wachter's thread. His wife caught COVID at a conference last week and has taken Paxlovid:

If you follow me, you know that my wife @katiehafner had Covid last week, took Paxlovid, & is now testing negative.
In this 🧵(w/ a few polls to see your thoughts), I’ll discuss what to do in the post-Covid period, in light of the latest Covid curveball, Paxlovid rebound. (1/25)

Delta didn't confer very good real cross-variant protection against Omicron though so that scenario makes sense. Omicron against Omicron is supposed to, even if BA.1 to BA.2

Jeff Ament, bass player for Pearl Jam :(

PROTECT JEFF AMENT!

This is like Derek Smalls becoming involved in a bizarre gardening accident imo

Laura Pausini, Italian singer and Eurovision song contest presenter, had to miss part of the show last weekend with low blood pressure, turns out she got the covids.

Popular rock singer Mick Jagger

The singer, 78, began to develop symptoms as he arrived at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in the Dutch capital earlier in the day.

Elderly politician Joseph Biden

Can't wait to see what he's like when his energy level drops.

Urgh at all the blue tick grifters using this to bash vaccines

Looking for when the Sight & Sound poll comes out, came across this:

Denny Laine has started a GoFundMe campaign for his medical expenses:

For the past two months, he’s been in and out of the hospital concerning an illness in his lungs that developed after his short bout with COVID last year. He’s had multiple tests, X-rays and scans that are ongoing, along with three surgeries, most recently for a collapsed lung, which includes an inserted chest tube that is temporarily needed until his lung heals.
He recently contracted a bacterial infection in his blood, which he is still battling, but seems to be under control.

The doctors have explained once he’s medically well, he will need several weeks of physical and occupational rehabilitation. Denny does not have medical insurance. The hospital has been working with us regarding this problem, but a rehabilitation center, along with the multiple lab work and specialists, will not. Denny is unable to fly due to his medical condition, as well as he needs to avoid long distance drives. He has to remain here in Naples to recover.

Come on Paul, chuck him a tenner.
