"HERMAN CAIN, A FORMER [GOP] presidential candidate and business executive, died from a nearly month-long battle with the coronavirus, his official Twitter account confirmed on Thursday.
"Cain tested positive for the virus in late June and was admitted to a hospital in Atlanta on July 1, nearly two weeks after he attended President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"Cain, who was briefly mentioned last year as a potential Trump pick for the Federal Reserve board, attended the president's rally in Tulsa on June 20 as the city reported a spike in cases of COVID-19. Multiple Trump campaign staffers who traveled to Tulsa tested positive for the coronavirus".
@shavixmir saidHe was a tea party enthusiast, with despicable views. At one point he ran for president.
Never heard of him, but if any of you know him/ her or are close to him/ her.. my sympothies.
He attended a Trump's rally and of course made it a point of not wearing a mask. One week after he was diagnosed with covid.
@zahlanzi saidOf course the main purpose of wearing a mask is so as not to transmit the virus.

Mr Cain's infection and death is someone else's responsibility.
@vivify saidLouie Gohmert tested positive for covid-19. Another one with despicable views that makes it a point to encourage as many people as possible to not wear masks. He forces his staff to come to work to serve as an example for Trump's reopening.
I wonder how many others will die (or already have) because they chose to follow Trump instead medical experts.

He was a public figure. He could have set an example. He could have worn a mask and refused to go to huge crowds.
He didn't care. His entire political career was spent in as much ignorance as possible. He didn't catch covid from bravely laying his life on the line as an essential worker. He caught it helping Trump.
@zahlanzi saidDon't get me wrong; I agree with you.
No

What I'm saying is someone is directly responsible for infecting him.
This is the message that so many dumb anti-maskers don't appreciate,
they think the risk is theirs and theirs alone. YouTube is full of them
parading around the shops declaring their constitutional rights. Idiots.
