Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke!

[Patsy33]

Or has he??....

[andy-hughes]

I can't think of it as 'good news'.

It is my constant and often-posted view that the legal punishment is what people should have for their crimes, not vigilante violence etc. added on - even if this is a random illness, it is not more 'deserved' for criminals.

[royfromaus]

Probably putting on a cough and claiming he's got it, hoping it works better than the zimmer frame debacle.

[andy-hughes]

That's likely roy - Mr Weinstein does seem keen on assuming this 'frail' persona to gain sympathy.

[ToraToraTora]

yes, there is a good chance it's a ruse.

[ladybirder]

How can it be a ruse, he's had a test confirmed as positive?

[ToraToraTora]

yeah but do you remember Ernest Saunders? He had some incurable disease.... until they let him off!

[emmie]

i don't think it;s good news, this virus kills people and as despicable as he is, i wouldn't wish that on him

[marval]

I agree with Emmie, whatever he did that is not a nice thing to have.

[ladybirder]

Yes I do remember him Tora but this is entirely different.
As he's tested positive he's got it and don't think for one minute I am sticking up for him, he's a thoroughly nasty piece of work. But when and if he gets over it I don't doubt he will soon find something else wrong with himself:-(

Two prisoners at the facility tested positive for the virus on Sunday, an officer who did not wish to give his name told Reuters news agency.

A lawyer for Weinstein said his legal team had not been informed of the coronavirus diagnosis.


I'm not convinced.

[retrocop]

Good man. At least he's self isolating.

[gulliver1]

He is paying the price for what he has done with a very long prison term .But to wish this virus on another Human, just shows the mentality of some people.

[ladybirder]

LOL Retro. xx

[ummmm]

I don't think anyone is wishing it on him, just they couldn't care less.

You're a bit dramatic, Gulliver.

[jno]

well, there is the headline to this thread, ummmm.

Either he's got it or he hasn't, and if a test has proved positive, then he has; but it's hard to see what he might get out of lying about it.

[royfromaus]

Not to mention insincere, ummmm

[ummmm]

There is that, jno, but I doubt many people hold him closely in their hearts.

[ummmm]

In that I mean I'd rather he had it instead of an innocent person. Just hope he hasn't passed it on.

[jno]

I don't, but I even if it was Hitler I wouldn't be thinking "good news". He's being punished for his crimes already, but if coronavirus is a punishment for anything, it's more likely for being 68.
