He’s in the high risk group due to age. I think younger people with no underlying health issues should be allowed to make their own choice to attend large group events if they don’t live with or visit high risk populations.

Guess it depends on your perspective. To me 74 isn't really old.

I don't know if it's known that he caught the virus in Tulsa, but he's back in Atlanta now. Who knows how many people he came into contact with. And his behavior at the rally tells us that he's not taking precautions.

The whole indoor rally was ill-advised, even if the venue was only 1/3 full.

A 74 year old back man attending a indoor rally with no mask or social distancing. I really hope he pulls thru but people you can't do idiot things like this and take a chance with your life. Best wishes to Mr. Cain and his family.

The risk of complications with COVID goes up exponentially in increments from age 40 to 80. For those in their 20s, the risk is about the same as the flu, unless they have significant underlying health conditions.

The only individuals who ingested that were hard core wife and husband demolibs. Remember?

Who's saying he got it at the rally. He could have gotten it anywhere? You had 6200 people attend or more - how many have gotten Covid - give me some numbers I can check out!

I was on the Cain Train and his 9-9-9 plan. From what I am remembering, he was picking up some momentum when he announced he was running, but then the mob got to him, didn't like the fact that he was a black conservative. And the rest is history.

Here's a photo of maskless Herman Cain at the Tulsa Trump rally which he attended 8 days prior to testing positive for Covid.

I agree. I hope Mr. Cain pulls through, sees the light, and becomes a spokesperson advocating mask-wearing. That would be a win-win for all.

You don't even have to think outside of any boxes to realize that people in their 20s can pass COVID on to people in their 40s to 80s.
