‘ Captain Tom Moore, who raised millions for the NHS, dies aged 100 ‘ - btfc - 02-02-2021
“ Known affectionately as Captain Tom, Moore raised almost £33 million ($45 million) by walking laps of his garden last year. His exploits united a country frozen in lockdown and made him an unlikely celebrity late in his life, earning him a military promotion, a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II and a number-one single.
Moore was taken to a hospital on Sunday because of breathing problems after being treated for pneumonia, his family said, and they announced his death on Tuesday. “

I saw he was in the hospital with Covid breathing problems. I guess at 100, it was just too much for him.

Sad that they couldn't keep him safely isolated and give him the vaccine early enough to matter.

RIP Captain Tom.
(wouldn't the world be a better place if all governments were staffed with "Captain Toms"??)
