Herman Cain Dead From Covid19
 

Herman Cain, the former pizza chain executive who sought the 2012 "Republican presidential nomination, has died weeks after testing positive for the coronavirus, according to an announcement Thursday on his website.

“You’re never ready for the kind of news we are grappling with this morning,” Dan Calabrese, the editor of Cain’s website, wrote in a statement. “Herman Cain — our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us — has passed away.”

Calabrese confirmed the death to The Washington Post and said the cause was covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

While it is unclear where Cain, who was 74, contracted the disease, he was among several thousand people who attended a Trump campaign rally in Tulsa on June 20, most of whom did not wear masks. Cain, who co-chaired Black Voices for Trump, was pictured maskless and not socially distancing at the event." WP

Another dead American because of Trump's vanity. RIP and condolences to his family.

WOW!

Just how are they going to spin this one?

You missed where I said they'd blame the protesters in Tulsa.

Have not read that yet.


Was he at a protest in Tulsa?
Missed that one too!

Doubt very much many BLM protesters were inside at the Trump rally to begin with.

My guess is that in this case, the Repubs in general don't care enough to bother spinning it.

That's what the Washington Post said.

"The incubation period between infection and onset of symptoms for SARS-CoV-2 is approximately 5 days."

Which means he most likely contracted it two to four days after the rally. Rally was on the 20th, symptoms on the 29th, hospitalization on the 1st.

I quote AP again, for emphasis: "It’s not clear when or where he was infected." There was no contact tracing performed to figure out where/when he got it.

Why is this soooo important to you, Skippy?

"Day 7: It is on this day that people who have been experiencing persistent chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath and bluish lips or face are admitted to the hospital."

Fifth day (median) after exposure is Day 1, when symptoms first appear. Do the math, skippy. VERY HIGH likelihood he got it at Donny's idiotic rally, where no one around him was wearing a mask. Really, really stupid thing to do.

These are all averaged numbers and anyone without an 'agenda' would easily realize that. It's this hairsplitting pedantic nonsense from Trump's more ardent supporters is what gets my goat. It's childish and juvenile.

Goes without saying; anyone ignorant enough to be a Trumpkin IS childish and juvenile...

Not to mention churlish and a buffoon. Effin' Gamergaters. ;)

So these new clowns came from some computer gaming forum?! That explains a LOT, lol. :p

Now after the months of exposure to relevant apparent facts. It saddens one to think propagating a falsehood in favor of a gain. Still is being put forth with gusto.

This death was preventable and should be condemned.

Sad day for all of us.

Because people insist on creating connections that haven't been established.

Why do you think I said "two to four days after the rally?" I'm very aware symptoms usually present on day 5-7. June 29 minus 7 = June 22; June 29 minus 5 = June 24. Rally was on June 20. [thinkaboutit.jpg]

Only for those willing and able to hide in their ivory towers.

I spent many, many hours way back in the 'aughts playing MS Flight Simulator and MS Combat Fight Simulator. The wife thought it would be funny to buy me a case, PS and motherboard one xmas. I quote her, "You build shit, here build a desktop". A pile of c-notes later I had double video cards on a blazing MB with as much memory as I could stuff in it. Bought a processor that could actually handle Combat Flight Simulator without stuttering or locking up entirely and had a ball. Killer framerates on that desktop. Killed me some fuggin' Nazis like there was no tomorrow. :D

Never did hang out at any gamer forums.

Then I got bored to tears with it and found AudioKarma to my eternal bliss in '08. ;) Some old redneck named Jaymanaa got me interested in vacuum tube amplification and I got my first Magnavox amp 175. Now I'm pushing a pair of Magnavox amp 150 biamped monoblocks with 30 watts per channel from circa 1957. All refurbed and brought up to modern safety specs by moi and the good folk at AK.

I sure do miss old TwoDogs aka Jaymanaa. We used to joke about some California hippy showing up to his yearly TwangFest in Kansas. I threatened to build a human launching trebuchet on the dock at the CCC built lake where his house stood but it never came to pass. RIP Jay, you are missed.

There is something special about a pair of MCM looking tube amps sporting Russian 6V6GT power tubes and Mullard front end tubes. 12AT7s for the parallel push pull bass amp and 6AT6 SE treble amp on a single chassis. They were Magnavox's top of the line back in '57 and they sound great to this old nail pounder's ears though a pair of JBL L80t3s set up for nearfield listening. (grin)

Anyways, where was I?

Haha yeah where were you? Like it

Who on this forum is childish and juvenile?

Thanks, I guess. :confused:

Don't they teach the queen's english in Nebraska?

No mirrors in your house?

There's an old saying that goes like this. If you have to ask you don't need to know. IJS
