It's too early to predict and obviously there are just so many variables and moving parts, but just projecting from his raw tools I'd say that Louie Gohmert has what it takes to contract Covid four or even five times. The scouting comp here is Jair Bolsonaro. He's just that good.— David Roth (@david_j_roth) July 29, 2020

i think that's the wrong metric for Gohmert. we really need to be looking at his CIAR: Coronavirus Infections Above Replacement. sure, anyone out there can get coronavirus, maybe spread it to a couple people - that's a Replacement level Coronavirus spreader. but Gohmert has what it takes to infect dozens of people, maybe even hundreds, all by himself. he could be a hall of famer. you cannot stop him, you can only hope to contain him

Our government, and our media, have incinerated their credibility. So, is it any wonder that people are skeptical? #Coronavirus https://t.co/2IMVhLGbLn— Herman Cain (@THEHermanCain) July 29, 2020

Isn't Cain still in the hospital? I doubt that's him tweeting.

Is he the first of all these right-wing chumps to actually die of covid? These (for lack of a better term) target demographics keep catching it with mild symptoms, or recovering (a la Boris) with no complications.

Boris has enough complications in his life.

Cain's chief of staff during his presidential run was Mark Block, "who lives in Wisconsin and now runs a company that sells products that combine CBD and cranberry-seed oil. Cain served on its board."
Block felt certain that Cain would be remembered as the man who paved the way for Trump. “I’ve had dozens if not hundreds of people saying that what we did with Mr. Cain’s Presidential campaign laid the groundwork for Trump,” he said. “And I really do believe that.” He added, “We used to always say, ‘Let Cain be Cain.’ The Trump campaign did the same thing and still does.”Even after Cain received his covid-19 diagnosis, he remained stalwart in his Trump-like opposition to wearing masks. When Governor Kristi Noem, of South Dakota, announced earlier this month that masks would not be required for those attending Trump’s recent Mount Rushmore visit, Cain tweeted his support from the hospital, in all caps: “PEOPLE ARE FED UP!” Block told me, “When covid hit, he was very careful about doing the things C.D.C. said. So I was a little surprised by the picture you saw of him in Tulsa without a mask on.” He added, “Maybe he made an exception that day.” He went on, “He’d done a lot of travelling that week, who knows where he got it.”“I know that President Trump has a great deal of respect for Mr. Cain,” Block said. “And I know that Mr. Cain was looking forward to being on the campaign trail for the President this fall.”
