He also had Parkinson's, but that will get lost in the narrative, where the vaccine resistant are concerned. 

The Caribbean and Jamaica, in particular (where Powell's family line is from) has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the Western Hemisphere. There are, unfortunately, deep pockets of vaccine resistant people and misinformation circulating through What's App (a social network which I despise) makes it worse. 

I have already gotten calls and had to chide relatives who now believe that vaccines don't work. And these are fully vaccinated people. We can't dismiss what impact this could have, especially with the misinformation networks working more effectively than official organizations like the CDC and WHO, that, on occasion have transmitted muddled and confusing messaging.

Remember, this is a virus that started among the wealthy and well-traveled and spread to the lower-income and poor with less consideration about education and mitigation.

It is also a virus that will never truly get under control until a large enough percentage of the worldwide population gets fully vaccinated. And we're nowhere near that marker.

The media  has gone wild reinforcing to people that he died of COVID  even with the vaccine (John Roberts giddily pointed out that this will  make  people more resistant  to vaccines), so you're right, this will have a very bad impact.

People are pushing back, so there's that, at least. Hopefully, there will be more media that will now offer context to this news, now that they have been and are still being roundly criticized.

Hutchins started in journalism and transitioned into film. 

Imagine, the possibilities of escaping potentially dangerous situations and then dying on the set of a movie.

So sad and preventable.

For younger Gen Xers and older Millennials, Bosom Buddies and Newhart were a lot of our childhoods. Newhart in particular has come up a lot in my conversations lately. So sad.

I shocked myself by bursting into tears.  Loved him in everything I saw him in, but I have a very nostalgic fondness for Bosom Buddies especially.

    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
    • And to think the original plan was for David and Lesley to have an affair.  Not only would that have made no sense - Lesley wasn't THAT stupid, lol - but it also would've ruined her and GH.
