"Status" is originally a Latin noun and in Latin it  declines as a u-stem 
noun. So in Latin, the plural form of "status" is also  "status".

Ah well, for a serial offender like Joe it will do fine, but  the 
murder of a language is a crime even if it is already dead, and let  
it be known the plural of status would be status if it were ever  used.
