More about Herman Cain

Wowzers....

Trump said at the Tulsa Rally that people "should do what they want" as it relates to wearing a mask, and also said "I do believe its safe. I believe its very safe".

Terrible news... could have been avoided. RIP Mr. Cain.

Well we don't know for sure if he caught it at that rally but it's very possible.

And fauci said in april not to wear masks...and then only n95 would be effective...and then clothe was ok...

There is a reason people are resistant to it...because the stance from experts changed very quickly.

which is worse?

I didn't blame Trump... Trump said his Tulsa rally was safe, didn't require masks, his friend attended, got Covid, and died. Those are the facts.

Hermain Cain should have worn a mask or not attended. Trump didn't force him to go. But lots of people followed Trump advice and have ended up like Herman Cain.

There is a lesson to be learned here... You guys say "well you shouldn't listen to any president", but the truth is, lots of people do.

You have no idea when he got the virus. This very well may be true...but it isn't fact.

It was cain's choice.

There are a lot of people that have taken every precaution possible and still got infected. People of his age know the risks. He chose to take the risks.

Update.

1,117 new cases in Oklahoma with 13 new deaths. We have had double-digit deaths for the last 3 days.

Florida reported a record number of deaths today, 252.

My conservative family members response to that:
The deaths aren't legit if the person has ANY underlying health conditions including but not limited to:

• Old age
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Asthma
• COPD
• High blood pressure
• Etc

Of course...

35 million people have diabetes
75 million people are obese
71 million people are over 60
105 million people have high blood pressure

You get the picture.

What role do you believe obesity plays in those who perish from the virus?

We've had 10,000 deaths in the last 11 days.

Germany has had 9,217 total.

This is just so absurd.

Germany seems to have handled it very well. Especially considering they have one of the older populations in the world

Looking at the data, they tested in high numbers early. Other than that, it looks like personal responsibility of citizens and keeping the elderly isolated (like not putting covid patients in nursing homes).

One draw back of seeing the virus later than europe is getting large numbers of tests for a country our size.

BTW, upwards of 40% of all us deaths are related to nursing homes and long term health facilities.

It makes me wonder if there is a link to how a country handles elderly. Does germany have for profit nursing homes? Or do most of the elderly live with family?

So, you’re saying Cain would be alive today had he wore a mask? Because that’s not true either. Don’t let that stop you from going on a tangent about trump tho.

You think the German government saved their people and the American government killed our people but it’s just not that simple.

OMG TRUMP IS KILLING PEOPLE!!!!!!

GMAFB.

Cain might be alive today if he wore a mask, and didn't attend events like political rallies like the CDC and the official White House stance recommends against.

Do you disagree with that?

Or are you going to respond and say "he could have been hit a bus between now and then and might have died from that too! Huh yuk"... Just don't.

So you're saying that Trumps:

• Actions
• Stances
• Words
• Policies
• Practices
• Behavior
• and overall response to the pandemic

Didn't lead to any conditions that resulted in any deaths?

Is that what you are saying?

You're positing contentions, two of them, which are not provable. At some point in time people will understand, like yourself, the meaning of perhaps, maybe, possibly, could have, might, etc. Until then your points will not contain the standing you think they do. Just try raising the bar one rung. Please.
