Herman Cain hospitalized with covid

[Apocalypto]

That was very irresponsible for his staffers to keep tweeting while he was in the hospital battling this disease.

If anything it sounds like his condition overall is improving but he still needs some oxygen support.

Wrong… Again.

[Apocalypto]

Yeah, I know. Cain’s website is overloaded.

[WuWei]

Well, I was wrong. It’s unfortunate.

Rest In Peace.

[Munimula1]

Wear a mask. Stay out of crowds.

Over a month in the hospital right?

What a horrible way to go.

I feel sorry for him. This is a terrible, terrible and avoidable way to go.

A good friend had this in March and was hospitalized for half the time Cain was. He spent ten days on oxygen, three days of which he refused to sleep because he did not think he’d have the will to breathe if he were not conscious.

He said it was like being what he imagined waterboarding was like for a week, and that the fear with it is overwhelming.

I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

All the more tragic if it could have been prevented.

I don’t know Herman Cain and I was not a Herman Cain supporter, but this makes me feel incredibly sad. It is incidents like this that humanize these tragedies. Yes, we cannot make policy decisions based on a single incident and many factors should be weighed when determining what is the best way overall to deal with this pandemic. Mr. Cain was only 74, had a family, and had friends that loved him. So when we discuss how we best get through this situation let’s not be so dismissive and say that it mostly affects the elderly and those with underlying conditions (e.g.: Herman Cain). The reality is it affects people’s husbands, wives, parents, sons, daughters, and grandparents. That needs to factor in.

And his “team” needs to stop pumping out inanities on Twitter.

“How do we know it was the COVID-19 he died from?” in 3,2,1…

Get back on topic please.

I think asthma, which is an obstructive lung condition, can have O2 levels as low as 60-80%. But I might be wrong on that. I wonder if it’s worse or better than COVID-19?

Chronic hypoxia is more akin to Chronic Bronchitis, which is in the family of COPD that asthma is. They call these patients “blue bloaters” due to it. There is actually a danger in giving them too much oxygen because they are so assimilated to this hypoxic state, it can actually shut the ventilatory drive down.

@NebraskaFootball

That is terribly unfortunate. He died because of stupid partisanship and politics around something that we should all be universally in agreement on. Wear a damn mask people! It could save your life and it could save the lives of people you care about. This is not a right or left thing. This is a life or death thing.

I will pray for Cain’s family during this trying time. May he rest in peace.

A tragedy. My prayers go to him and his family.

[Guntsu]

An absolute tragedy, my only hope is that this brings some perspective to those still resisting the reality, challenges and dangers that this virus imposes.

Well, that didn’t take long.

“Donald Trump killed Herman Cain,” Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King wrote, arguing that it was the president’s fault for going ahead with a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, amid the pandemic. Cain attended the June 20 rally reportedly not wearing a mask and tested positive for the coronavirus nine days later.

Well he would still be alive if he hadn’t attended the rally or followed the President’s lead on masks
