FWIW - Comparison - Herman Cain Covid Timeline

[Roland99]

Link to tweet

A humbling Herman Cain/coronavirus timeline:

6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless
7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19
7/10: Says he’s improving
7/15: Says his doctors seem happy
7/27: Says he’s really getting better
7/30: Dies

we shall see

Was it a hoax or will he still be shedding the virus for days (weeks?) and infect even more?

[kimbutgar]

1. A similar timeline he dies by Election Day.

[Me.]

2. THat Is Exactly My Thinking

[Frasier Balzov]

3. No! It can't end this way!

The headline needs to read "America to Trump: You're Fired!"

[lagomorph777]

34. God to Trump: "You're Fired!"

I could live with that.

[Cousin Dupree]

52. Take it any way you can get it!

[Dem2theMax]

41. I want him alive through election day.

I don't want him receiving one single 'sympathy death vote.'

The day after the election?

[Sloumeau]

57. Yep.

If he got infected on Saturday, September 26, and he dies in 36 days like Herman Cain, he would drop dead about November 1. I'd like him to make it until November 4, so that he can see his ass get beaten. So here is to hoping that either he got infected later than Saturday, September 26, or that he lasts a few more days than Herman Cain.

4. I'd like to see this verified with references.

It's probably accurate but it would be nice to have evidence for each date's event.

[Roland99]

7. Here's the 1st two

1) Tulsa Rally was actually June 20 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Trump_Tulsa_rally

2) July 2 - Herman is positive: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/herman-cain-trump-surrogate-tests-positive-coronavirus-after-attending-tulsa-n1232801

EDIT: He tested positive on June 29, apparently....was hospitalized July 2

[Roland99]

15. July 10 tweet - "Make no mistake. He is improving!"

[Roland99]

16. July 15 tweets - Doctors like the progress he is making

We want to give you a quick update on the boss's progress battling his COVID symptoms. The doctors like the progress he's making - although it's still slow and requires much patience.

If he continues to progress at the same pace, they will probably get a little more proactive today about moving him to some new treatments. Also, he was irritated they wouldn't let him have a Snickers bar. That's our boss! Please keep praying for him.

[Roland99]

17. July 27 tweet - "He really is getting better, which means it is working."

18. July 30 - dead

21. Good job and thank you for all this backup!

Quite telling. October 2020. A month that will live forever in the history books. Hopefully folks will be around to write them...

[Roland99]

22. [phone]

[rainin]

55. Good one. Took me a second.

[Roland99]

56. heh. I prefer that now over +1

[csziggy]

23. Thank you for all your hard work on this!

To lighten the mood, it reminds me of this:

[lagomorph777]

35. OMG - the exact scene I was just thinking about!!

[Nevilledog]

24. ...

[Dem2theMax]

44. Is it wrong to laugh at that?

Karma, baby!

[Nevilledog]

65. Shit, don't ask me. I posted the fucking thing.

[Dem2theMax]

66. I didn't realize it was you who had posted it,

until after I had commented.

I don't know why I do that. And I should just assume it was you, because you always post the best stuff!

[LymphocyteLover]

64. OMFG, hilarious

[SidDithers]

28. Well done Roland99...

Sid

[Roland99]

29. Thank Google and their custom date range for searching

[Towlie]

47. Yes, good job! Thanks.

[Roland99]

49. You're welcome!

[LymphocyteLover]

54. wow-- only 74? I thought he was older!

[jayfish]

9. Yes, Because Journalists Just Toss, Easily Verifiable, Shite Out There.

[madaboutharry]

5. This seems to be a common timeline.

Remember when John Prine's wife tweeted that he was doing better and everyone thought he was going to make it. Then suddenly he crashed and within a day he died.

This morning, Dr. Vin Gupta said that people will show improvement and then suddenly and unexpectedly things become critical and the patient dies.

Trump is not capable of making decisions.

[jayfish]

6. He Forgot a Tick in His Timeline.

6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless
7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19
7/10: Says he’s improving
7/15: Says his doctors seem happy
7/27: Says he’s really getting better
7/30: Dies
8/30: Tweets, "It looks like the virus is not as deadly as the mainstream media first made it out to be"

[lagomorph777]

36. Yes, that last tweet is the best one!

[deurbano]

39. Yeah, the post-deaths tweets!

[flibbitygiblets]

8. I don't understand people who think it was a hoax. Did the other 20 test + lie also?

It wasn't a hoax. Nothing on God's motherf**king green earth other than the actual, very real fear of DEATH would allow that egomaniac to be med-evac'd to the hospital. Nothing.

What I do believe is that he's gotten a bunch of steroids and other therapeutics, is feeling better, and wants nothing on earth more than to show people how big and tough he is. He's getting discharged against medical advice, trust me.

He also knows that Biden is out there campaigning while he's looking like a weak Punk in the hospital.

This wasn't a hoax, for sympathy or attention. And he wants to minimize it as a big giant nothingburger STAT.

[lagomorph777]

37. More humiliating than the pussy-grabber tape. NO WAY he faked it!

Total PR disaster, no matter how many loony ways he tries to spin it.

[moonscape]

10. Herman Cain didn't get the therapeutics 45 has gotten and

will continue to get.

My money is on 45 will survive this.

[jayfish]

13. Also, He Probably Didn't Have...

an entire team dedicated to his exclusive care. He was rich so "probably".

[Mike 03]

14. You're probably right, but Herman Cain was fairly well off.

His net worth was estimated to be $7 million.

https://celebpie.com/herman-cain-net-worth/

He was the CEO of Godfather's Pizza. I'm guessing he had powerful connections too.

[erronis]

42. trump may get a bunch of experimental and heavy-duty drugs - but what about his mental ability?

I know it can't go down any further but could it improve?

I know he already hallucinates about trump towers around the world and being the savior to all deplorable magats as well as white suburban housewives. Will he start to think he is the 13th coming of bejesus?

If the (r)epuglicon and libertarian and russian cabals want to keep him in office, will they make a dummy out of his genius brain or out of his exceptional body?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

60. Ha!!

Made me LOL

[dixiegrrrrl]

63. People may figure it all out when he marries his horse....n/t

[crickets]

61. That might be counterbalanced by habits trump has that Cain did not.

If ya know whatta mean.

[Mike 03]

11. Kicking

[Blue Owl]

12. "Hey Donald, I'll be seeing you soon..."

[davsand]

19. Cain had a posthumous tweet, as I recall.

Frankly speaking, there's not much that ANY of these assholes say that isn't suspect.

The orange anus will be lucky if he doesn't end up getting taken back to Walter Reed feet first.




Laura

[lagomorph777]

38. Yeah Cain really trashed his credibility with that last tweet.

[wnylib]

43. After his tweet today saying not to fear

this virus, I no longer feel any regrets about my earlier schaudenfreude over the news of his positive test. He probably will survive, due to exceptional medical attention that is unavailable to everyone else.

But, considering his pride and ego, I'm betting that he will fight the treatment that he gets in the WH and will not follow protocols set for him. So he might have a set back, but still could survive that due to WH medical staff.

But if he does not survive, I will celebrate without a shred of regret. Same goes for anyone else in his circle who has covid.

And, since so much attention has been given to the egotist, we have not heard how the rest are doing. Anybody know how Hope is doing? Or the infected Senators?

[Tom Rinaldo]

20. K&R n/t

[NurseJackie]

25. Ha!

[Traildogbob]

26. Yes!

Great news. Today has been bursting my bubble. This makes me happy again.

[djacq]

27. Trump can't take the easy way out.

He must face Justice.

There must be accountablity.

[mountain grammy]

30. So I can still hope.

Yay.. just die already Donnie.

[Hulk]

31. There is hope....

The last thing that I want to see happen is this s*** stain should get a light dose of the Covid. I hope he follows in Herman Cain's footsteps up to the part where he croaks.... I don't want him to die from it. That is too easy of a way out👿

[Botany]

32. Trump might have died if hadn't gone to Walter Reed last Friday.

I think he has the disease longer then they are saying and they were giving him steroids to
suppress his immune system because it might have been working so hard that his lungs were
filling up with fluids.

[Snake Plissken]

33. 8/31/2020: Tweets Coronavirus Not That Deadly--Despite Having Died From It

https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/08/31/herman-cain-tweets-coronavirus-not-that-deadly-despite-having-died-from-it/#28dd6c8f3c77

[Jarqui]

40. That is much more common that you might expect .nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

45. I just want him to survive until election day.

We don't need any delays from new ballots being printed for each state.

After that, he can drown in his own fluids for all I care.

[flibbitygiblets]

46. This 👆

[Dem2theMax]

48. I wrote the same thing but for different reasons.

I don't want him getting any sympathy death votes.
I also don't want all the confusion that would come along with him dying before the election.

I second the drowning part!

[KPN]

50. Shoo! That makes me feel better.

[ancianita]

51. Good perspective for everyone, regardless of differences in treatment.

Thanks for posting this.

[LymphocyteLover]

53. At what point was Cain hospitalized and intubated?

[Roland99]

59. Not sure on intubation but look at posts 15, 16, and 17

[George II]

58. That would get us to the weekend before Election Day.

[Awsi Dooger]

62. I have no idea why outliers are so popular

Does anyone actually believe this is a likely course of events, for Trump or anyone specific else?

There's a reason we remember a single high profile example. It is silly to apply it elsewhere.

Possible...yes. But you'll wait and wait and wait for something to play out similarly, given specific isolated cases and not anyone from the population.

[Roland99]

68. It's an interesting thing to keep in mind. Herman didn't get Regeneron. I'd bet

[uponit7771]

67. K&R,

[onenote]

69. Different risk factors

Cain had gone through chemo for stage 4 colon cancer. He was African American. Those two factors put him at greater risk than Trump (roughly the same age). The lus there’s reason to doubt the truthfulness (and authorship) of Cains tweets.
