Cain’s death was announced Thursday on his website by Dan Calabrese, who edits the site and had previously written about his colleague’s diagnosis.

In addition to his wife Gloria Etchison, survivors include his two children, Melanie and Vincent, Calabrese said.

True. I guess they figured they’d wait at least 20 minutes after the announcement. I mean the guy just died today.

Where did you find the information that he did receive hydroxychloroquine? I’ve been looking everywhere and could not find anything that indicated that he did.

Unless it is an N95 mask properly fitted to your face, a mask does not prevent you from inhaling aerosol virus. If you have the virus, the mask does inhibit somewhat your ability to project the virus by absorbing moisture droplets that you exhale.

i know right? i believe mask does help, even if it is only 1%, i had a liver transplant, so i take many precautions, mask is only a small part of it. i wash my hands more frequently, especially after i return from outside. i know i will not be 100% protected, but i try to get as close as possible.

if people don’t WANT to wear them, just say so, don’t make excuses like “it does not help”. this is not black or white. if it is good for a doctor, it is good enough for me. and yes, i use good medical masks imported from Taiwan. don’t use those stupid faux cloth fashion masks.

it is your choice, and i choose to wear one. (in addition to other precautions) i don’t want to be in that ~1% of people who die from it.

Although doesn’t say Z pack which I didn’t either. But anyway they specifically state he was given medications in this article.

Pure LIES. Anyone listed as “dying from CV19” died from something else (even pneumonia).

Mr Cain had a long and distinguished life. In 2006, he was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in his colon and metastases to his liver and given a 30 percent chance of survival. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy following the diagnosis, and the cancer was subsequently reported to be in remission. He lived another 14 years before contracting coronavirus. Recent news did not comment on the status of his cancer but his medical history placed him in the most vulnerable group. Sadly the world lost a good man.

It seems someone was running his twitter account. The idea with Z pac is you supposed to go home with the drugs not wait for the tests to come back which is the critical first few hours before the infection to start.

It wasn’t him that was posting, his people were and had been during the duration of his hospital stay. They had given an update on his health a day or two before that as well.
