Herman Cain, the former Republican presidential candidate and affable business magnate, died Thursday after being hospitalized for coronavirus, according to reports.
Cain, 74, first went to an Atlanta hospital for treatment on July 1, his staff had said.
His death was announced on Herman Cain's website and Facebook page.
"Herman Cain our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us has passed away," the statement on his website said, noting there were "hopeful indicators" in recent days that he'd recover but adding: "And yet we also felt real concern about the fact that he never quite seemed to get to the point where the doctors could advance him to the recovery phase."

Very depressing.
“Herman was a great man “
Plus ... Godfather’s Pizza. I loved that stuff!
So sad to hear, it was a month ago that he got it, how does this damn thing drag on so long, honestly, it’s a bit frightening. I know they’re overhyping this thing but this COVID isn’t like other viruses, it just isn’t.
RIP Herman, you fought the good fight ...
A 74 year man caught coronavirus and died from it. It isn’t unrealistic, exceptionally rare for someone his age to die from it, or speculating. You are speculating to fit your narrative.
“Go take a bloody jump!”
Go become another statistic and possible pithy news article of hubris leading to death.
“You Covid deniers resort to name calling pretty quick. The Covid deniers/anti maskers have indeed gotten great practice because theyve been making such claims since April. It was believed (by him) he contracted the virus at an event where mask or distancing were being ignored.You can spin it all you want.”
it is unknown how Cain contracted coronavirus, per a statement on Thursday by Dan Calabrese, editor of HermanCain.com since 2012.
“We honestly have no idea where he contracted it. I realize people will speculate about the Tulsa rally, but Herman did a lot of traveling the past week, including to Arizona where cases are spiking,
I don’t think there’s any way to trace this to the one specific contact that caused him to be infected.
We’ll never know,” said Calabrese.

Oh no!
I always enjoyed hearing him interviewed.
I met Herman Cain at the Iowa Straw Poll in 2007 at Neil Boortz Fair Tax presentation. What a loss.
I found out that a buddy of mine who tested positive for COVID last week went to the hospital yesterday and is on a ventilator. This crap just got very real to me and it sucks. Please throw a prayer up for my friend Keven. He is great dude and a highly accomplished guy in his profession. Thanks Freepers.
As long as they are counting car accidents and gun shot wounds and heart disease and diabetes as coronavirus deaths. Something that they have been repeatedly caught doing all over the country.
Coronavirus deaths are like Nancy Pelosi teeth.
Fake through and through.
Cancer deaths on the other hand are as real as they get.
Thank you.
Last I heard he was thinking it was a rally, but thanks for the clarification.
Duly noted.
Ease off.
Amen. Granted it doesn’t kill people in a true Pandemic way.. but Hell.. It is Damn serious killer for some people.
RIP.
Good man.

Yep.
It got away from me. Thanks.
If elected in 2012, he could have mitigated some of the political and social chaos caused by O’Bummer, by finally giving black people a respectable, responsible and passionate leader. Instead the Rats, true to form, made up horrible lies about him in an effort to destroy him.
Would have voted him for POTUS without a second thought.
Terrible news. RIP.
He probably wont even get a damn funeral!,I have had ENOUGH of this BS a frickeing THUG has 4 damn funerals with horse drawn carriages, poor black man gunned down in Wisconsin because he was holding a Trump sign AND no one even knows his name I am beginning to LOATH what has happened to this country!! I am reaching a point where the Caribbean is starting to look like a great place to live!!
Amen. Sad day. Herman Cain was a good man and patriot. I’m going to miss him.
My daddy died from cancer at 73. Anything could have accelerated that during his last year of life.
