Michael related Corona death

It appears Manu Dibango (the Cameroonian singer Michael sampled a riff from in WBSS) died today from Corona:
https://youtu.be/o0CeFX6E2yI

I didn't even know Michael's riff had been sampled. By the looks of it Michael was sued as late as in February 2009 (!!!) and decided to settle out of court.

He was 86.
 
2 cases just hit in my town now.
 
The Michael Jackson Estate today announced that it is donating $300,000 to coronavirus response efforts to help three communities that have been severely impacted by the Covid 19 virus. Broadway Cares, Three Square Food Bank (Southern Nevada&#8217;s largest hunger-relief organization) and MusicCares will each receive a $100,000 donation.

&#8220;This virus strikes at the heart of the communities we are close to,&#8221; said John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.

&#8220;We learned today that the legendary Manu Dibango (a key influence on Jackson&#8217;s hit &#8216;Wanna Be Startin&#8217; Somethin&#8217;) passed away from the virus.

Other performers and support staff in music and on Broadway are sick or have been left without work and are facing an uncertain future. And in Las Vegas, which has been so welcoming to Michael Jackson, the entire city has been shut down leaving thousands of workers and their families devastated and without an income.

&#8220;Michael&#8217;s spirit of generosity and helping others during his lifetime is legendary. These donations are inspired by him,&#8221; they concluded.

In New York, the Estate is answering the challenge made by more than 20 Broadway producers who are matching up to $1 million in donations, doubling the impact of contributions to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS&#8217; COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund. Jackson loved attending Broadway performances and the Estate and its partner, Lia Vollack Productions, continue to look forward to welcoming audiences to MJ the Musical later this year.

&#8220;With every passing day that theaters remain dark, entertainment and performing arts professionals face unprecedented and immediate challenges,&#8221; said Tom Viola, executive director Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

&#8220;This incredibly generous donation from the Michael Jackson Estate will help ensure those onstage, backstage and behind the scenes get lifesaving health care, emergency financial assistance and counseling during and after this crisis.&#8221;

In Las Vegas, the Estate&#8217;s donation will provide 300,000 meals to the needy, and help to maintain Three Square Food Bank&#8217;s supplies, the largest foodbank in Southern Nevada. Since opening in February 2013, Michael Jackson ONE, produced by Cirque du Soleil and the Estate of Michael Jackson, has been one of the most popular shows in Vegas.

&#8220;Before the pandemic, 1 in 8 Southern Nevadans lived in a food-insecure household and that number will increase exponentially with the displacement of thousands of workers in our community.

Thank you to the Estate of Michael Jackson for stepping up to help children, families, veterans and senior citizens who may need help now more than ever,&#8221; Michelle Beck, Chief Development Officer.

The Recording Academy and MusiCares will support the music makers who Michael Jackson worked with and loved in a time where the industry is being challenged at every level from the virus.

LONDON — Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, 71, has tested positive for coronavirus after "displaying mild symptoms," Clarence House, his official royal residence, said in a statement Wednesday.

"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus," the statement said, noting aside from the mild symptoms he "otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual."

The Prince of Wales is self-isolating at a royal estate in Scotland, and his wife Camilla, 72, has tested negative for the virus. It was not immediately clear whether Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II or her husband Prince Philip have been tested.

Britain's 93-year-old monarch canceled a number of events "as a sensible precaution" due to the outbreak but as late as last week she was still holding "audiences" with members of the public.

Buckingham Palace confirmed to USA TODAY that Britain's monarch last came into contact with Prince Charles on March 12. Medical researchers have not yet determined for how long someone infected with coronavirus is contagious.

"Her Majesty The Queen remains in good health," the palace said in a statement to USA TODAY Wednesday. "The Queen last saw the Prince of Wales briefly after the investiture on the morning of the 12th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare.”

Prince Philip, 98, is with the queen at Windsor Castle.

Charles was photographed with other members of the royal family on March 9 at the queen's annual Commonwealth Day service in Westminster Abbey.

Sharp-eyed Twitter users noticed Charles, along with his youngest son Prince Harry, adopted alternatives to shaking hands at the event.

The Prince of Wales, who's known for his interest in Eastern religions and philosophy, was spotted greeting people with the Indian "namaste" greeting, which includes a slight bow with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointing upwards.
A few days later, Charles was also out and about on March 12, when he attended a dinner for Australian bushfire relief and recovery effort in London.

The statement from Clarance House announcing Prince Charles' positive test results noted: “It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.”
Those most at danger of severe complications from the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include adults 65 and older.

On March 19, Queen Elizabeth sent a message via her press office broadly addressing the coronavirus pandemic: "As Philip and I arrive at Windsor today, we know that many individuals and families across the United Kingdom, and around the world, are entering a period of great concern and uncertainty.

"We are all being advised to change our normal routines and regular patterns of life for the greater good of the communities we live in and, in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within them."

Can the Coronavirus Cause Loss of Smell and Taste?

Can the Coronavirus Cause Loss of Smell and Taste?

According to various global reports, COVID-19 patients are experiencing a notable loss of smell or taste. The British Association of Otorhinolaryngology "In Germany, it is reported that more than 2 in 3 confirmed cases have
anosmia,"

The British Association of Otorhinolaryngology statement continues. "In South Korea...30% of patients testing positive have had anosmia as their major presenting symptom in otherwise mild cases." Some people may be losing their sense of smell from the coronavirus but not experiencing other symptoms.

The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery People who experience loss of these sensations should quarantine and call ahead before visiting a doctor.

I know where you&#8217;re getting at. I get a little edgy with my mom telling me too much about the virus and telling me to watch the news. Does it look like I wanna watch the news? I don&#8217;t wanna watch the news I still don&#8217;t trust them. And enforcing the law among people to go back home and fine them like $2,000-$3,000? That was stupid, not the forcing part, but the fine part, they&#8217;re just leeching people off so they can&#8217;t go for essentials they need. If they enforce any more rules/laws during the pandemic, I just can&#8217;t take it anymore, I&#8217;m gonna argue against the law about the fine, that and beating people up to go home is NOT the answer and that alone is gonna make me crazy. And as for my mom, I&#8217;m not listening to her anymore during the outbreak. I rather hear about the updates my own way without the news. Plus I&#8217;m annoyed but my brother&#8217;s negative attitude like &#8220;We&#8217;re doom&#8221; like it&#8217;s the end of the world, it&#8217;s not the end of the world, the pandemic is not gonna last forever and he knows it, but he&#8217;s just plain @$$ stupid to realize it.
 
Anyways. Check this out.

[SIZE=+2]Hockey gear manufacturer producing devices that are in short supply[/SIZE]

Bauer, one of the leading manufacturers of hockey equipment, has begun making face shields for medical workers treating patients with the coronavirus.

"We're just so fortunate to have such a talented employee base that's also really passionate," Mary-Kay Messier, Bauer vice president of global marketing, said Wednesday. "Protecting athletes has been in our DNA, part of our heritage, since 1927. This is an opportunity to shift gears. This is a time that none of us has ever experienced before. You think about hockey being team first and then you also think about the greater community and how connected we are, I think this felt similar in that we needed to unite in this most uncertain time and [have] everybody pick up an oar and start rowing."

She said Bauer went from the initial brainstorming session to developing early prototypes in about four days.

"They do have the capacity to ramp up (very quickly)," said Messier, the sister of Hockey Hall of Famer Mark Messier.

"I wouldn't say it's easy, but it's doable, and when you have people that are really passionate and talented, you make it happen."

The protective shields are being made at Bauer's research and development facility in Blainville, Quebec, and its facility in Liverpool, New York, which primarily produces Bauer's lacrosse gear.

The first shipments will go to doctors and nurses in Canada, with future distribution planned for the United States.

"We have some contacts, through our own personal relationships," Messier said, "but we've also had people reaching out to get the medical shields, and that's what we're working on right now, what's the best plan to distribute and how do we get these medical shields in the hands of the people who need them as quickly as possible."

The shields are made from some of the same components that go into helmet visors, and each costs about $3 to make, including shipping.

"We're not expecting to make any profit on this," Messier said. "The intention would be to get our costs covered because this is a challenging time for all companies. One of the benefits also is to be able to have some of our people in the manufacturing plants be able to work."

Supply-line changes and maintaining proper safe working conditions have been worthwhile challenges, Messier said.

"We know these medical shields and other devices are in short supply," Messier said. "We've heard different folks say, how can companies get on board and help in these efforts? We're just really fortunate to be able to be in a position to do that and have the people that are really passionate willing and committed to making the change and doing everything they can to make a difference."

An infant younger than one year old died after testing positive for coronavirus

An infant in Illinois not even a year old has died after testing positive for the coronavirus, health officials announced Saturday.

The child, from Cook County, is the youngest person to die of the virus in the United States.
Health officials said an investigation into the child's death was underway.

"There has never before been a death associated with COVID-19 in an infant," Ngozi Ezike, the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said in a statement. " We must do everything we can to prevent the spread of this deadly virus. If not to protect ourselves, but to protect those around us."

Children have so far not exhibited a higher risk for COVID-19 than adults, according to the US Centers for Disease Control. Elderly patients and people with underlying medical conditions, however, have a much higher risk for severe illness.

Also on Saturday, Illinois health officials reported 13 new deaths - most in their 70s, 80s, and 90s - and 465 new cases of COVID-19.

In total, Illinois has reported 3,491 cases and 47 deaths, with ages ranging from younger than one to 99 years old.

Across the United States, officials reported 119,748 coronavirus cases and 1,991 deaths as of Saturday afternoon.
