Herman Cain died from Covid r.i.p.
Haven't seen this on any credible sources. Where did you see this?

unpopular opinion ahead.
I guess going to that convention wasn't worth it was it?
I am unsympathetic. He could have easily avoided his own demise.
Seeing as how he'd been traveling all over the place, there's no evidence he got it in Tulsa.
ok, so then change the statement to "I guess traveling all over" wasn't worth it.
he was a 74 year old man, a high risk group for death if you catch the rona, use some common sense.
eh, no need to live in fear.
there's a difference between living in fear and taking reasonable steps to prevent your death from an infectious disease.
sadly it seems like most people want to choose between the two extremes of "OMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" and "IT'S A HOAX!"
traveling around the country for politics is not worth my life, so I wouldn't do it.
He knew the risks. He traveled anyhow, attended gatherings with people from all over the country, and it's likely what cost him his life.
no different than if somebody got room temp if they were doing dumb shit in any other way.

plenty of people have taken reasonable steps, masks, distance, hand washing, no travel...hell, some even live in hospital like settings, and they are still able to contract it.
that's the gamble, as a black republican, cain isn't somebody who was afraid to make his own decisions in life. Just being a black politician for decades probably made him a bigger "target"
He made his own decision.
which is why I don't really feel that sympathetic about it.
Everyone makes decisions every second of the day. Some of those decisions lead to bad shit.
So by your reasoning, you should abandon all feelings of sympathy towards anyone.
when those decisions are obviously risky, yes.
we laugh at people that grab power lines and get cooked on this site, because they were dumb.
being a 74 year old cancer survivor traveling around the country during all of this shit was also dumb.
see the correlation here?
this should be interesting. you and I both know the answer is no.
because the rona is a hoax or because lessening your exposure to people isn't a reasonable way to reduce your risk from death when you're an at risk individual?
If I were an old man I wouldn't get on an airplane and travel around the country to meet people right now.
I didn't say that it wouldn't guarantee me not getting dead from the rona, just that it's a reasonable precaution to take, knowing the situation currently.
y'all gone soft around here.
who the fuck are you anyway?

yeah i'm particularly broke up he died from the Wuhan flu, but i'll give him as much consideration as every other politician who passes.
i'd imagine you are in about the same spotbut I don't think anybody is going to rename a bridge in his honor or make a spectacle out of his funeral procession.
