Former GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain dies of COVID-19
ATLANTA (AP) — Herman Cain, former Republican presidential candidate and former CEO of a major pizza chain who went on to become an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump, died Thursday of complications from the coronavirus. He was 74.
Dan Calabrese, who authored a post on Cain’s website announcing the death, told The Associated Press that Cain died at an Atlanta hospital early Thursday morning.
Cain had been ill with the virus for several weeks. It’s not clear when or where he was infected, but he was hospitalized less than two weeks after attending Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 20. Cain had been co-chair of Black Voices for Trump.
A photo taken at the rally showed Cain, without a mask, sitting closely to other people who also were not wearing any face coverings. A statement on his Twitter account said he tested positive for COVID on June 29 and was hospitalized July 1 because his symptoms were serious.

Can it be said with certainty Herman contracted COVID while attending one of Don's super spreader events? Sorry, rallies. No, but the timing and the behavior of the attendees suggests it's highly likely.
I can't help wondering, assuming Herman was conscious enough to have thoughts in his final days, whether he regretted attending the rally. Or supporting the guy who held it. If only Cain had consumed some Clorox before hanging with Don's peeps maybe he'd be alive today.
Trump campaign rallies led to more than 30,000 coronavirus cases, Stanford researchers say
