Coronavirus doctor dies of heart attack after working 10 days straight
- Grim.PhanLo
- Poor dude; the public will hear "Corona virus death" even though it was a heart attack.
I thought advertising hours were bad...ideaist - Dr. Li Wenliang died, and his parents, children and pregnant wife have also contracted the virus. :(

I lost a really good friend this week...Leukemia sucks, but he caught two infections while in the hospital, apparently they did him in.
In American hospitals alone, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that HAIs account for an estimated 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths each year. Of these infections: 32 percent of all healthcare acquired infection are urinary tract infections. 22 percent are surgical site infections.

Absolute shocker, such a lovely dude... RIP
- Disappointed. when I clicked on this thread I was mentally repeating "Please be someone shit, please be someone shit", but nope.Nairn
- yep, one of the best.kingsteven

- Fuck.Fax_Benson
- Sad to hear. Mates from the techno scene had some of the best nights of their lives out dancing to his music and really loved him. RIPPhanLo
- Wow that was sudden. Seems like he was still making music and DJing even in his mid 50s.yuekit
- ^ yep saw him just a few months ago. his NTS show "music's not for everyone" is incredible https://is.gd/qgtUWf…kingsteven
- In addition to all the stuff he produced over the years, he was a genuinely great DJ. In terms of digging up rare stuff and connecting the dots betweenyuekit
- different genres and eras of music. Which is not something you can say about most of these guys who jet around the world playing clubs and festivals.yuekit
- Yank here. This is the guy from Two Lone Swordsman? RIPgarbage

Don't know where to start with the loss of Andrew Weatherall.
A truly unique individual and creative genius. And not just music, whatever he turned his hand to.
One of the continuous threads of my musical life. A key original figure of Acid House. A founder member of Boy's Own. 'More punk than punk'.
Someone who never sold out despite many opportunities to do so.
"It’s a lot of work, once you go up that slippery showbiz pole, and it would keep me away from what I like which is making things. I mean, I had a little look in the early Nineties. I stood at the bottom of that pole and looked up and thought to myself ‘The view’s pretty good. But it’s very greasy and there are a lot of bottoms up there that I might have to brush my lips against. So, maybe I’ll give it a miss’."
There are so many great interviews of his on YouTube and in print, he was as entertaining talking as he was producing and playing music.
I was lucky enough to meet him 5ish times at various parties and festivals. Each time there are stories I will never forget.
Too many memories of dancing to his sets, some more blurry than others and across 3 (or 4!) decades.
More recently, 8 years ago two of the best nights of my life in Croatia, one on a boat on the Adriatic and another overlooking the sea, dancing all night long to his unique brand of electronic music from outer space. I had recently met my partner and we had the best, happiest time, I will always associate his music with that.
ALFOS (A Love From Outer Space) was a fantastic party he did alongside Sean Johnston. Even in his 50's he was as relevant and could work a crowd like no other DJ I ever saw. My partner in music had ALFOS booked in for an event in March, it had already sold out.
His countless productions were incredible, too many to mention but each decade of his working life produced absolute gems.
I started making music seriously (as serious as I get) again in the past 5ish years. Through a mutual friend we got a number of tracks to him. I am eternally grateful to him for supporting our music. He even often gave us a report after the weekend on how they went down. Hearing Andrew play our music was a feeling like no other.
A year or so ago we were amazed when he agreed to remix one of ours. I still pinch myself about that. My vinyl (1/500) of that is now even more precious.
RIP Guv’nor, you were a gentleman and true innovator.
A far better tribute than I could ever write is here:

Mike Bloomberg, Rest In Peace.
- She does not fuck around, I like her.Noggin

- He's going to have to double his ad budget after that one!instrmntl
- "he's rich, thus can't be for the working class" such a narrow minded point of view.hotroddy
- He's on a box lolHayoth
- Oh, bloomberg is bad but ill support whoever (bloomberg) if he is the nominee LMAOHayoth
- The desperation is palpableGnash
- Bloomberg gives me the creeps.inteliboy
- She lost credibility when she attacked bernie with that sexist bsGuyFawkes
- Pretending to be native wasn’t enough?Gnash
- I like her attacking him, but tbh thats her thing. Attacking people. In the long run she is not the candidate for me. She should be the attorney general.cannonball1978
- Yes, give me someone with bite to take on Trumps schoolboy rhetoric and spineless Republicans.Noggin
- Easy Karen.robotron3k
- angry pocahontas for school trustee. After collapsing in Jan on lack of leadership, now going after the hate vote.********
- what a circus ! LOLKrassy
- The only two options at the end of all this are Bloomberg and Klobuchar. And not positive either one of them will beat Drumpf.stoplying
- none of these clowns stand a chance at the presidencyKrassy
- She brought a knife when everyone else brought cobb saladfuturefood
- It's totally legitimate stuff to bring up. Are Dems just supposed to anoint Bloomberg the nominee and pretend all this dirt on him doesn't exist?yuekit
- Sounds like he's got almost as many women problems as Trump, he's got tax havens in Bermuda.yuekit
- He's trying to sell himself as the "safe" choice to beat Trump but far from clear that's the case.yuekit
- I think he’s trying to sell himself at a safer version of trump.Gnash
- Bloomberg had it coming but the rest of them didn't. This is a desperate attempt to look "strong". Listening to most people, it seems to have worked.CyBrainX
