Just heard Honor Blackman,aged 94 years died in her home in Lewes of natural causes unrelated to covid-19.
I met her when she lived in Castlenau Barnes, W.London when she invited me into her house to report a damage only accident whilst riding her Honda motorcycle.Very pleasant and interesting personality. I recall she was still wearing motorcycle leathers whilst delicately sipping her tea which reminded me of 'Pussy Galore. :-) R.I.P.

Very sad, and I am sure just as alluring as she was in The Avengers and Goldfinger.

Very, very attractive woman in her day. She lived to a grand age.

refused an MBE because she was a republican - a woman of principle; not a lot of such people around.

Cathy Gale was before my time (before I had a TV, anyway) but she was great in Goldfinger.

I notice the reports say "didn't die of Covid" - I suppose you have to these days.

It would be better if the announcers did state a death, if they have to, was not from Covid-19. Considering many of the deaths are aged people with underlying serious illness it is rather disingenuous to announce every death was caused by covid. It seems if a person dies of terminal cancer and aged 103 it is assumed all of a sudden that covid was the cause. :-(

Unless the virus is specifically mentioned when someone dies, I always assume that C19 played no part. So as soon as I heard she had died, aged 94, I immediately thought "old age".
RIP

// It seems if a person dies of terminal cancer and aged 103 it is assumed all of a sudden that covid was the cause. :-(//

this is the basis of the oxford school - "epidemic what epidemic?" idea - there is no excess death but they are all being relabelled as covid

https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1701103.html

my own view is that there is alot of it about ( death I mean)

few threads on it - populated by the usual suspects
