It hardly matters where he got the infection. Whether he got it at a political rally without masks required, in an airport, or a grandchild's birthday party, the issue is the same. Cain acquired a fatal disease because the virus that causes it was allowed to spread out of control in America, and that until it is controlled more misery will come. That's the takeaway that people should be left with from his death.

I regret any man's death, and particularly political mavericks - we need many, many more of them. However, Cain was apparently battling a cancer relapse and had a few other comorbidities. He was not a healthy man. Any disease he contracted could have been fatal. 

BTW, I turn 74 myself on Saturday.
