Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain on Monday is still in the hospital receiving treatment for COVID-19, after announcing earlier this month that he tested positive for the coronavirus. Cain was hospitalized on July 1.
Cains Twitter account said Monday after that hes still receiving oxygen treatment for his lungs. However, the tweet added that doctors said that his other organs and systems are strong.
According to a statement posted to his Twitter account earlier this month, Cain developed symptoms serious enough that required hospitalization and that he had spent a night in an Atlanta-area hospital. Cains statement said that at the time he did not require a respirator and is awake and alert.
Although Cains statement said that there is no way of knowing for sure how or where he contracted the coronavirus, Cain attended President Trumps poorly attended Tulsa rally last month, which was held indoors and did not require face masks to be worn.

But hey, we'll see what (fingers crossed) Pres biden suggests that will drop the debt.

Herman Cain, a 2012 Republican presidential candidate, remains hospitalized one month after being diagnosed with COVID-19, his team said Monday. We know its been a few days since we last gave you an update on the boss, Cains team wrote in a statement shared to his Twitter account. But he is still in the hospital being treated with oxygen for his lungs. The statement continued:
In the meantime, the doctors say his other organs and systems are strong. Re-strengthening the lungs is a long and slow process, and the doctors want to be thorough about it.
Wed like him to be able to come home now, which is frustrating, but were glad the doctors are being thorough and making sure they do the job right. Thank you for praying, everyone. Please keep doing it. He really is getting better, which means it is working.
Cain, 74, learned he tested positive for the virus on June 29, according to a statement on his Twitter account earlier this month. Two days later, he was hospitalized at an Atlanta-area hospital after developing serious symptoms. His diagnosis came less than two weeks after he attended President Donald Trumps campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cain, who co-chairs Black Voices For Trump, tweeted a photo of himself without a mask on at the event, which was attended by several thousand people.
Several Trump campaign staffers and Secret Service agents tested positive for the coronavirus following the rally. Roughly two weeks after the event, Tulsa officials reported a surge in coronavirus cases in the city. Dan Calabrese, an editor for HermanCain.com, said earlier this month that hes unsure where Cain may have contracted the virus.

My brother is ok now, but it was a miserable experience.

(1,351 posts)If hes not on a vent, then why isnt he tweeting himself? I think you may be right.

(7,947 posts)I think they might be preparing for the worst.
I feel the same. Herman Cain isnt exactly a shrinking violet. If he was simply resting comfortably while being given oxygen, hed be tweeting. He is very ill despite what his staffers say.

(7,220 posts)I mean, it's not like people don't already know the fucker is in the hospital with COVID-19. What's happening to Black people all across the country is also happening to him.
Is he really going to continue to back this mis-administration now that he's personally experienced the fallout of their mind-shatteringly stupid response to the virus? Is he really going to pass up this opportunity to speak out in support of Black people who are disproportionately affected by COVID-19?
Does being a Republican mean actually selling your soul? It really does appear to be the case.
