TIL Charlie Pride was still alive, at least until recently. What a loss.

COVID did not kill him.

He had other problems then he got COVID.

Not looking to get patioed but he didn't die til he got covid so he goes in the books as Covid death. It is what it is

In NY anyway, if you die in a car crash and test + for Covid, it's a Covid death.  They get more money from the Feds.

Sorry Charlie, you were a ground breaker and had a good run ......

That's somewhere between misleading and pants-on-fire.

 

Poor old Charley was alive enough to sing at the CMA awards a month ago.  He was one of my favorites as a kid.  RIP

I’ll just send out my respects, and leave the covid arguments and name calling to those other threads. 

Just as I ignored the people that stopped liking his music when they found out he was not the same skin pigment as them

He deserves better. R. I. P. Mr Pride.

A complete lie. This is what happens when people get their news from Alex Jones.

Charley did die from complications related to COVID. Even if you are battling other ailments, they haven't killed you thus far. If something new enters the picture and puts you over the top, that's what takes credit for your death. 

Charley likely picked up the virus at the CMAs or during travel to the show. CMA officials say he was tested before and after the event. This means nothing. You can pick up the virus and test negative for up to 10 days before finally showing symptoms and testing positive. It's possible someone at the show could have been asymptomatic and given it to him there. 

Mask up and stay more than 6 feet apart is always your best bet.

Hey grantpad, do me a favor and take a gander at the Forum Rules

Everyone else, please feel free to bypass this thread.  I have no compunction about locking it down, if I have to.

In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :

Thank you. I hope you get to leave it open, for tribute to Charlie Pride. There are other outlets for the other stuff.
