The convicted and imprisoned former movie mogul is in the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward for “the myriad of health conditions that he is still afflicted with,” a representative said.

Convicted and imprisoned former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized for a “myriad of health conditions” and has tested positive for Covid-19 and double pneumonia, a representative said.

Weinstein was taken to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, his representative and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said.

New York Corrections Department records also show that Weinstein, 72, is at Bellevue.

Oh no.

Anyway, did you hear that stick-nest rats are being re-introduced to mainland areas after thriving on an Australian island ?

Reintroduce the Quokka!

The world needs more happiness.

Aw nice hopefully they can get established

Yeah, indeed. In addition to being downright adorable, they're also able to utilize a very invasive species of weed for both food and shelter while also reducing its spread.

That plant is basically covered in spikes; it's a huge upgrade to their huts' defences over what they used before

Honestly that's just awful, and I think any reasonable person can feel a moment of empathy and agree. The hospitals shouldn't be forced to waste time and resources on him.

But if he dies, his sentence ends.

Please tell me that double pneumonia hurts twice as bad as regular pneumonia

I hope every breath hurts, until he's dragged to hell.

I've had pneumonia before. I can assure you that the breathing and coughing is not remotely pleasant.

Been there. Nearly died from it. It's horrible. I would totally wish it on many others, including Weinstein.

Make him better. I want him to die in prison of old age. In fact, let him live to 120. In a cell.

Edit: Nevermind. Glad, in this case, I was partially uninformed. A conviction was overturned, but he was still convicted in a second state.

As long as he doesn't get a compassionate release I don't care.

Will they get a little fake walker for each of his lungs?
