Which celebrities/famous people do you think/fear will succumb to coronavirus?

To my mind I don't think Prince Philip or Bob Dole would survive if they were infected by the virus owing to their frailty as well as their age.

People who are or were long term smokers are according to scientists more at risk of both catching and dying form coronavirus because of the damage smoking does to the lungs etc So which celebrities are known go suffer from emphysema or other lung diseases and which celebrities are or were long term smokers? I would have thought that a lot of rock n rollers and older singers would fall into this category. Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell etc.

Keith Richard is more likely than Jagger to be prey to this disease, except for the fact that nothing seems to get him.

Courtney Love is aged 55 and used to smoke heavily so she is likely to be at heightened risk. Also Jack Nicholson is in his 80s and either still smokes or used to smoke.

Olivia de Havilland managed to survive the Black Death, so I'm pretty sure she'll be fine this time too.

r12 God I adore Betty White. ā¤ However other names that popped into my mind as significant long term smokers past or present include Joan Collins, Liza Minnelli and Eric Clapton.

Some icons from the British world of soap I think are at serious risk. Julie Goodyear, June Brown, Barbara Windsor, Barbara Knox and Pam St Clement.

R28, yes, itā€™s from the film, Philadelphia. He won an Academy Award for his performance.

Iā€™m so glad Iā€™m not a millennial.

R28, that film had me bawling my eyes out, bye. I lost lots of people to AIDS, & Iā€™m really grateful for my friends who are still here.

Theyā€™re all being really careful, and Iā€™m not surprised. We have seen this before, albeit in a different way. We know how to do what it takes to stay safe.

Elders become elders, for good reasons, such as, common sense.
