Meat Loaf 'seriously ill with COVID-19' before death
Meat Loaf reportedly died after contracting COVID-19.
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment ... li=AAnZ9Ug
The 'Bat Out Of Hell' hitmaker's team announced he had passed away on Thursday (20.01.22) evening at the age of 74 and although they didn't share a cause of death, it's now been reported by TMZ he had been "seriously ill" with the virus.
Sources told the outlet that Meat had been due to attend a business dinner earlier this week for the dating show he'd been working on, 'I'd Do Anything for Love', but the engagement was cancelled after he fell ill, and the rocker's condition quickly became critical.
It is unclear whether the 'Wayne's World' actor was vaccinated, but according to the website, Meat had recently been supporting those critical of vaccine mandates in Australia. And the 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' singer had previously branded the virus "a drag" and questioned the ongoing impact the pandemic had had on the entertainment industry.
He wrote in October 2020: "Hello everyone, nothing going on at all. That's a drag. Covid is a drag. Where I live things are open and thriving. The entertainment world hubs are in lockdown. WHY?"

Re: Meat Loaf 'seriously ill with COVID-19' before death
He also had underlying health issues and was just recovering from something which has not been released. We all know covid is more dangerous when you have other health issues.

Do you think that might be true of most viruses, diseases and infections?

Re: Meat Loaf 'seriously ill with COVID-19' before death
So wonder why he was playing down the risks of getting Covid and from all accounts, declining to have the Covid vaccine for himself ?
''Meat had recently been supporting those critical of vaccine mandates in Australia''
Umm, sounds like views of many other anti-vaxxers including some on football forums !

Well could be that the answer to his ''WHY'' is that this Covid disease is a killer, especially affecting older people and for those who have underlying health issues

Re: Meat Loaf 'seriously ill with COVID-19' before death
As you have been told by scientists and politicians. When you can prove it was Omicron that killed him , I will re engage with you.
Don’t you think it’s time to accept that this phase of COVID was just that , a common cold

Anti- vaxxers tend to view all variants of Covid as nothing much to worry about and much the same thing as having a normal cold or flu.

It’s easy to say he should have had it after he died but no doubt he weighed up the risks for and against, like all of us, and decided to run the risk of dying from it.
You have no idea about his health or medical history. All we can do is make the choice that’s right for us and that’s it.

Yes, obviously. A persons body is their own and whether you think a choice is stupid is irrelevant.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:12 pmThe personal choice to ignore science?Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 1:35 pmPersonal choice mate.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 11:52 am

Depends, I guess.

One of the only reasons I got two jabs was for the better of society, but that’s no one’s else responsibility.
Once pandemics end you’re left with less personal freedom and a slippery slope for the future. The mindset of rational people has understandably been scared into going against their morals and values.
