Herman Cain, former GOP presidential candidate, dies after battle with coronavirus

This is sad. I'm neutral on Cain politically, but I give my condolences to family and friends.

He did not require a respirator and was "awake and alert" when he checked in to the hospital, the statement said. "Please join with us in praying for Mr. Cain, and for everyone who has contracted the coronavirus, as well as their families," it said.

Why can't the POTUS ask for our prayers for covid victims? Why can't the POTUS at least acknowledge the deaths? What will Trump say about this?

That would be too close to expressing empathy, something he incapable of doing.

This is sad, anyone that dies of this virus is a tragedy.

But, you HAVE TO TAKE THIS VIRUS SERIOUSLY!

He never should have gone to that rally, he should have worn a mask, and everyone else there should have worn a mask and should have been socially distant.

Ignore science at your peril.

Well, Lewis was an actual hero with a long record in the house and was beloved by many.

Cain ran a pizza company, ran for president and lost. He then did something incredibly stupid which led to his death.

He tested neative when he was at the rally. Not to say that he couldnt of contracted it while there but he was tested because of his proximity with the potus.

Why? As human beings, there is not much comparison.

I wouldn't expect Cain to receive more coverage than Lewis. And it's telling that your first instinct is "the media," rather than "the family."

This was from over a week ago (from his editor of his website)
CDC director: If everyone wears a mask right now, we can get the virus under control in 4-to-8 weeks

I know a lot of you don’t trust the Centers for Disease Control, and not without some reason. They are certainly not infallible sages and their track record throughout this whole dumpster fire of an ordeal has clearly not been perfect.

But if what we want is the end of the pandemic – and it is, isn’t it? – then isn’t it intriguing to consider what CDC Director Robert Redfield suggested on Tuesday? If we’re all willing to get on board, there just might be a way to finally bring this to an end inside of two months:

If everyone in the U.S. wore a mask, the coronavirus pandemic could be “under control” within four to eight weeks, Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield said in a discussion led by medical journal JAMA on Tuesday.
 
Rest in peace, Herman Cain.
 
It is my hope that in his arrogance and ignorance, he did not infect anyone else.

He flouted not wearing a mask. How did that work out for him?
 
He wasn't POTUS material, but I kinda liked the guy. He would have been a better POTUS than the current idiot.

That's not a high bar. However, I don't hold any animosity towards him, and I'm sorry that he passed away.

I didn't agree with Cain on most anything. Saying that, he was a human being worthy of dignity, so I will hold off on my 999 jokes.
May his memory be blessed.
 
Herman Cain, Former Presidential Candidate, Dies from Coronavirus

Herman Cain, former presidential candidate, dies from coronavirus - CBS News


Cain passed due to Covid19....may he rest in peace and may others have the wisdom to not take the risks that cost him his life.

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has died from coronavirus, according to a post on his website. The businessman and right-wing media personality was 74 years old.


"Herman Cain – our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us – has passed away," Dan Calabrese, the editor for Cain's website, wrote in a post on Thursday morning.

Cain was hospitalized with COVID-19 on June 29. Calabrese wrote that Cain knew "that this was going to be a rough fight" when he was first hospitalized, particularly since he had already survived a cancer diagnosis and was in a vulnerable demographic because of his age and health.

I already started a thread on this.

Kinda nasty thing to say about someone who just died. You can make your point without giving an opinion of his character. At least wait until he's buried before calling him arrogant and ignorant.

I don't know which political side you're on, but I thought you were antiTrump. If that's the case, don't become that which you detest.

yep, he did...after he survived cancer 14 years ago...which should have been a lesson to him on how much we need to take care of ourselves...but it wasn't.

He tested negative at the rally, meaning he didn't get it before attending...but a week afterwards he was hospitalized and several others, including Trump campaign staff were also diagnosed with Covid19...2+2 always equals 4...he got it at the rally.

If the news media is covering it like several DP threads then they have forgotten our humanity.
