Herman Cain still hospitalized more than 3 weeks after COVID-19 diagnosis

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is still in the hospital undergoing oxygen treatment more than three weeks after first being hospitalized with the coronavirus on July 2, according to an update from his Twitter account on Monday.

The big picture: The 74-year-old Cain, co-chair of Black Voices for Trump, attended President Trump's rally in Tulsa in June and did not wear a mask. Two days after he was said to have tested positive, Cain commented on a July 4 celebration at Mt. Rushmore, tweeting: "Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump. PEOPLE ARE FED UP!"

What they're saying:

"We know it's been a few days since we last gave you an update on the boss. But he is still in the hospital being treated with oxygen for his lungs. 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.

"We'd like him to be able to come home now, which is frustrating, but we're 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."

3. SO his on a ventilator probably in coma

Sad part is it didnt have to happen he had not reason to be their...for a smart guy that was really dumb

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

5. That would be a waste of a perfectly good ventilator.

If I were in charge of triage, he wouldn't even be on the list.

[ace3csusm]

6. Yea he was irresponsible going their with no mask or social distancing...

so i can second your decision ...

4. I was wondering about him the other day.

There had been no update that I’d seen.

Likewise, I’ve not seen an update on Kimberly What’s-Her-Name. Donny, Jr’s current interest. Have I missed something in her?

9. Why hasn't Donald gone to heal him?

A pleather messiah he ain't.

[Ms. Toad]

10. With any luck, he'll come out of it -

and publically acknowledge he was dead wrong on masks, and by extension so was Trump.

[Demsrule86]

11. Rumors that he has died today on twitter...if so Trump's Tulsa rally killed him.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Oh, gosh. Such a shame.

Not.

[Hortensis]

13. 1 hour ago CNN said on oxygen but getting better.

I'd be fine with him dying the death he accepted for others, even encouraged, but weeks of misery battling death will hopefully do some of the good he refused to do.

Imo, if it saves one life it's much more than worth it.

[malaise]

14. On oxygen but getting better?

He's been that way for almost a month

[Hortensis]

16. Shrug. That's what CNN's headline said. Getting better.

Maybe to refute rumors that he'd died?

[Mariana]

17. Yeah, it sounds like wishful thinking on the family's part.

I hope he recovers fully.

15. "Black Voices for Trump" co-chair. I wonder if he's getting paid sick leave.
