“Trump Tulsa Rally - I was there! The atmosphere was exciting and inspiring!” Cain wrote on Twitter after the June 20 rally. He also tweeted a maskless photograph of himself at the rally surrounded by fellow Trump supporters also not wearing masks. Cain was informed on Monday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus. By Wednesday, he had developed symptoms serious enough to require hospitalization. At 74, he is part of the age group most at risk for severe COVID-19.
“There is no way of knowing for sure how or where Mr. Cain contracted the coronavirus,” it said. “With God’s help, we are confident he will make a quick and complete recovery.”
