Gee..I just read about a 39 yr old New Orleans social worker who suddenly died from COVID. And I also read about a 93 yr old at Life Care in Kirkland, Wa who lived through it and credited home made potato soup.

I wonder if the media is going to give us an in depth report on every single Wuhan death. I dont think they did this for the Swine flu’s over 12,000 deaths when Alfred E. Neuman was President.

Popular New Orleans bounce artist Go DJ Black N Mild died Thursday after testing positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office confirmed with Billboard on Friday. He was 44.

The deejay, born Oliver Stokes Jr., was a major New Orleans radio personality and was the first deejay in the area to create a radio show dedicated to New Orleans Bounce, Billboard reported according to Stokes’ social media.
The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Following Hurricane Katrina, Stokes worked in Houston where he hosted a mix show, Rhythm and Bounce, which was played on a New Orleans AM station on Saturday nights.

Outside of his music, Stokes also was a father of four and worked at the Arthur Ashe Charter School in the Gentilly neighborhood.

According to The Times-Picayune, Stokes left school on March 9 with a fever, and later documented his health journey on his Facebook page.

On the same day, Stokes checked into the Ochsner Urgent Care in Lakeview with a 102.4 fever, he shared on his social media.

On March 10, he shared that he hadn’t “had the flu in years,” adding an emoji wearing a surgical mask.

The following day, he shared on Facebook that he had moved to the University Medical Center in New Orleans, where he was tested to have “pneumonia not the flu.”

“Our school community is devastated,” Sabina Pence, the CEO of the FirstLine Schools, which runs Arthur Ashe, told The Times-Picayune.

What is Bounce music?

Something to play when those kids are jumping up and down in those inflatable plastic carnival attractions?

Or is it the background music when they’re running commercials for Bounce fabric softener or Bounce paper towels?

During the initial cases the media wouldn’t even give us man or woman or ethnicity let alone name...

Not so much.

One of the late Black N Mild's great opuses even made it to the list someone made in this thread. It's number 3.

Won't post the title of that ditty here, as FreeRepublic.com is a family site.
