Herman Cain Hospitalized with Covid - was at Tulsa Rally

Ug, he's probably not going to make it, I'll give him a hopeful thought. :(

I keep waiting to hear Trump and Pence have it, they are so careless. Of course, they have way more protection and testing than most of America but still, people around them are dropping like flies by a zapper.

Next to drop is probably a few of those choir members that preformed for Pence unmasked and singing their lungs out. :shock: I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

74 + stage 4 cancer survivor? Hopefully they hospitalized him out of an abundance of caution. Otherwise, he could be in for a ride.

That moron is way past any of your life accomplishments.

So, would you need a ladder to reach moron status?

Fair question.

He is still a moron. Making money is not the most important achievement of any life.

With roughly 7000 people there, and a widespread pandemic, the chances of an asymptomatic person was there is about 100%. In fact, with a 3% exposure rate, which is conservative, there were probably a couple hundred people there who were infected and spreading.

There’s no tracking mechanism in place because we live in a backward nation, but we know many Trump staffers tested positive, and at least one reporter:

Before the rally, Dr Gupta (CNN) gave an estimate of 1-200 active infected attending, leading to 1-2K cases, plus whatever additional infection the 1-2K cause. Probably was applied to the 20K arena size.

It’s about 10% fatality for someone his age in the hospital without a ventilator.

If he has to be intubated, it goes to 80%, maybe more.

Don’t know how medical history, but being male and black puts him at an even bigger risk.

People make bad decisions and this would clearly qualify. Cain's resume would lead me to believe he is not a moron.

He is a moron in much the same way that Trump is a moron. Why do you think making money is a sign of any higher cognitive abilities? I know rich people that are dumber then snot. They just got rich. So what?

It's kind of hard to have any sympathy for these idiots, but I saw a diagram of how the ventilators are put into your lungs. I would not wish that on anyone.....Makes wearing a mask look like a great idea.

I agree. Everyone should wear a mask, so many less people will wear a ventilator. There was a guy who got posted about that broke quarantine to go to a party, got sick form a friend that knew he had covid 19 from testing postiive, but didn't think he could spread it since he was feeling fine. He posted on stupid he was , and the next day, had to go to the hospital, put in a ventilator, and he died.

Herman Cain is not in the ICU yet. I hope he can recover.

I didn't realize he went to that rally. He's a smart man and a self made man. I didn't know he supported that pig Trump. Disappointed. He sat in the black seats I guess.

That said, I wish him well and hope he gets better soon.

It is easy enough to get it from regular circumstances, but why put yourself at so much more risk? All them folk without masks....

I hope he recovers without needing mechanical ventilation.

Protesters tend to wear masks more often than *trumpanzees **going to nazi rallies.
Click to expand...

In context of the discussion which prominently featured a photo of Black Republicans at a Trump rally, this *term is offensive, derogatory, and racist. The posters intention of the *term used is confirmed by the posters use of the phrase, **"going to nazi rallies" which has been used to characterize Trump political campaign rallies.

To add:

Besides his record of a half-dozen bankruptcies, there's been no demonstrative evidence on record of Trump accruing wealth.

Remember though, he is a stage 4 cancer survivor with organ damage. He could be in trouble.

It's not just the personal risk they take, but with such irresponsible behaviour how many will they infect if they themselves get it? If they don't care about themselves, will they be conscientious towards us?
 
74 year old at the Trump rally.

*sigh*

He's old enough to know better.

Hope he recovers.

I don't think it would have happened at the rally, they took everyone's temperature

Some left-wing nut could have exposed him to the virus after the rally - it is exactly what the left needs right now, especially the picture of a black politician getting sick at a Trump rally, when Trump is trying to argue that he is an advocate for the black community

Out of 6,200 people attending the rally, the first case of someone coming down with COVID, supposedly at the rally, is a famous black Republican politician - The chances of this happening are literally 1 out of 6,200

Again, I hope I'm wrong

Stop making stupid posts.

Herman Cain has always struck a sour note with me whenever I've seen him on Fox or heard his name. He was one of the Republican party candidates against Barack Obama in 2012, I think a lot of Republicans back then thought that they could beat Barack Obama with another man of color. But Herman Cain had to withdraw after several allegations of sexual harassment came out. Even in 2011, nobody was surprised that yet another Republican was being accused of sexual misconduct. He is seen occasionally on Fox as a contributor.
