Anyone hear anything about Herman Cain?

Remember about the 4th of July, he went into the hospital with Covid-19, which he'd apparently caught (along with Donnie Jr's girlfriend) at Trump's Tulsa rally.

Any news about him? The $%@^& Neil Boortz put out a rather suspicious tweet asking for prayers for Herman Cain. I wonder if that's supposed to prepare everyone that bad news is coming.

feeling sympathy towards someone that willingly attended a large rally with no mask and zero social distancing. In cases like that people make a decision to take a risk. I hope people around him will realize how dangerous the virus is and spread that knowledge so others do not end up suffering.

Oh and he needs to fire whoever is running his social media. They just called Maxine Waters a deranged crack pot. 🤦🏽?♀️

I live north of ATL, and had not heard a peep, so I figured he was still in hospital. He must have an awful case.

I sure hope he spent some time with trump in Tulsa.

He and Herman Cain were photographed close to each other at the Tulsa rally, neither masked.

His Twitter & Facebook accounts continue to put out multiple tweets/posts each day, and IDIOTS there comment like they're coming from him, but they're so obviously not.

They've posted a couple of updates, positive sounding of course, but it's been well over a week now since the last "update."

No pictures whatsoever have been posted since he went in, and the media has not covered it at all. I guess it's hard to get information with privacy laws, and media either doesn't want to bother mentioning it, or doesn't care.

I keep thinking they'll announce on a Friday night or over the weekend, so if it gets any coverage, it will be minimal.

This virus is unpredictable, but if I were a betting man, my money would be against him making it.

He probably knows that Cain is very ill, and now it won't come as a shock when bad news is revealed.

It just all seems so stupid. At the time of that rally, everyone with any sense was saying-- don't go! If you have to go, wear a mask! Stay away from others!

And instead he's laughing in all the photographs, practically arm-in-arm with a bunch of other "African Americans for Trump", shaking hands with other politicians.

Anyone could have seen this coming, except Trumpers.

He likely sacrificed himself for Drumpf, and would gladly do it all over again. But probably won't get that opportunity, so sad.

Sat Jul 25, 2020, 05:15 PM

people took that to mean a ventilator. That was a while ago and then his account said if his current progress continues, his doctors would try more “proactive” measures. In other words, it’s getting worse.

On the day of Cain’s hospital admission, his accountant posted an anti-mask Tweet but lately it has become pro- mask.

I think this is why Trump has changed his tune, because if Cain dies from the Tulsa Rally Virus it will
make the news.

while the machines run everything else.

I wish I could say I wish him sell... but I can't, and I don't.

Face it. Life is precious, and it is also cheap. I can't waste my beautiful mind worrying about tots and pears for the willful haters.

Kept under so you don't cough yourself to death.

If the worst happens for him, who knows how Trump's people will spin this. Maybe how he's truly loyal for risking death to worship Trump.

family to stay silent.

If Cain doesn't make it, it would be the first confirmed fatality from trump's Tulsa rally. I'm sure there are rally-deaths that we're not aware of.

I wonder how the governor of OK is doing?
