Herman Cain was the poster child for who should not get covid 19. I read that he was given a 30% chance of surviving his cancer.rberq wrote: ↑Thu. Jul. 30, 2020 3:20 pmTHE LEFT may possibly include me, and I say no such thing. Don't presume to speak for me.
Time from exposure to symptoms can be anywhere from 3 to 13 days. Time to progress from symptoms to serious illness is 8 to 12 days. Time from hospitalization until death, if the patient dies, is highly variable but often measured in weeks. Cain had serious medical problems already, which made him more vulnerable. So Cain may very well have been exposed at Trump's rally, or before it, or after it, but of course there is no way to know for sure, and it is largely irrelevant. What's relevant is whether a mask would have prevented infection, or not. Again, obviously, no way to know for sure.
Not sure why this is a left/right political issue, just a common sense issue. Very many in congress, regardless of party, are routinely photographed in their masks. It's only the *censored* in the White House who tries to confuse the issue, because it gets him more press.
Somebody do a poll -- I don't know how -- as to how many on this forum wear a mask in the grocery store, in Home Depot/Lowes, small shops, church, etc. Really curious.
Knowing where you catch a virus is tough unless you know you were locked in a room with a sick person for a while.
