Has anybody else noticed that not a single celebrity has died of COVID19? The most famous person I can think of that COVID19 has claimed as a fatality is one of Siegfried & Roy.
The threshold for celebrity is very nebulous. Among the people who have died there are quite of few whose names are known publicly in varying degrees. Since many of them are older, they may not be current "celebrities".
Wikipedia has 842 people on its list of notable people who have died from COVID.

Among former athletes, Tom Dempsey and Tom Seaver are on the list.
