Looking at his Twitter feed, it seems really probable that some staff member kept churning out boilerplate conservative takes on his account while Cain himself was slowly dying. Including "skepticism" that downplayed the danger of the disease that was killing him.It's a cold, cold game.

Thousands of Arizona parents are being asked to sign liability waivers before sending their children back to school.ABC15 learned that 249 of the 256 traditional school districts in Arizona were provided a standard waiver by Arizona School Risk Retention Trust [The Trust], the statewide insurance carrier for schools, so that they could be shielded from potential lawsuits connected to coronavirus outbreaks in schools.FULL COVERAGE: Safely Back to School in ArizonaThe waivers though, do not even need to be signed by parents for their kids to be allowed to return to in-person classes.Furthermore, The Trust told ABC15 Tuesday evening that they have developed a "coverage option" that would make the "optional waiver" obsolete. The board plans to vote on it at their meeting August 4.None of the parents in the Queen Creek Unified School District knew that though when the waiver popped up in their parent portal Monday."I think a lot of parents are just clicking through and approving it, without actually reading what it is," said Mark Linder, a former district board member. "And when you read it, it releases the district of any and all liability if your child gets sick in school."Linder is one of many parents who told ABC15 they were not comfortable signing the document."When I logged into ParentVUE and saw the waiver, my first gut reaction was I was enraged," said a Queen Creek High School teacher and parent, who did not sign the waiver and asked to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions. "It wasn’t communicated. It was just, 'Hey here’s two waivers you need to sign.'"Regardless of the waivers or not, Queen Creek has made it clear they plan to welcome back students to the classroom as soon as possible.It is a decision some parents are applauding after months of children at home and away from vital, in-person education, while others are calling the move hasty and irresponsible."We all want to get back as soon as we possibly can - every teacher wants to. But if we rush it, like we rushed our return in May, we end up out of school for longer because we reinvigorated this whole crisis again," said Jake Frantz, President of the Queen Creek Education Association and a high school chemistry teacher in the district."I wouldn’t be so upset if my district was doing social distancing in the classrooms, or if they were doing temperature checks as a requirement to get on campus, or if they were going to reduce the class sizes," said the anonymous high school teacher. "But the only thing that they are requiring is masks."It is unclear now, with the waivers potentially obsolete in a week, what the Queen Creek Unified School District will do with the waivers that have already been signed.Some parents have possibly forfeited their right to sue, although lawyers say any lawsuit will be incredibly difficult because the plaintiff will have to be able to definitively prove COVID-19 was contracted at the school and due to negligence.Some other districts, like Madison School District in Phoenix, said they "would be requiring parents to sign a waiver." While larger districts like Peoria and Scottsdale Unified said they were not opting to use the cookie-cutter waiver.A Queen Creek spokesperson told ABC15 via email that "... Arizona School Risk Retention Trust recommended a COVID-19 waiver to all districts..."But a spokesperson for the Trust said "it wasn't a recommendation...[rather] a tool to use at their discretion." By August 4 though, that "tool" may be irrelevant.
trump tweeted about that pizza place, but still hasn't tweeted abut cain yet
I do something else that's culturally appropriative to organize my thoughts
It's my understanding that a proper haiku has a "turn" at the end, sort of like an epiphany. I do something else that's culturally appropriative to organize my thoughts though so don't quote me on that or turn this post into a 5 7 5 (999) thing.

In the parking lot of Regional Medical Center in Orangeburg, South Carolina, construction workers have been working around the clock to erect a series of inflatable white and blue medical tents as doctors inside scramble to contain the wave of coronavirus patients. The rural hospital, which serves a population twice the size of Rhode Island, is nearly full, forcing officials to ask the National Guard to erect the state’s first field hospital, comprising four tents to provide overflow capacity for at least a dozen virus patients at a time. While the alternative care site won’t be usable for up to three weeks, Regional Medical Center President and CEO Charles Williams said the precautionary measure is necessary as the state continues to see a surge of COVID-19 cases that could overwhelm the public health system. “At some point, we must do something, because there’s only so many beds, so many staff, we must do something,” Williams said in a Monday press conference, noting that there were only eight beds available in the hospital. “We must do everything we can to actively plan to care for our patients.”The dire situation in Orangeburg is a microcosm for the state, which has continued to shatter COVID-19 records. As one of the earliest states to loosen coronavirus restrictions, South Carolina is now struggling to address a brewing COVID-19 crisis.Meanwhile, Gov. Henry McMaster this week announced a slew of businesses could reopen. Festivals, concerts, movie theaters, stadiums, gymnasiums, concert halls, performing arts centers, parks, and racetracks can reopen at 50 percent capacity. “Hollywood is knocking and movie theaters will be ready to open,” McMaster said Wednesday. “They will have to follow these rules. Go see your favorite movie, have some distancing, you’ll have to wear a mask.”
That said: I sort-of (ok, not really. A tiny smidgen) feel bad for Cain. He didn't deserve to die for Trump's bullshit like Turning Point and others. But all the same... COVID owning Conservatives
“I was beyond optimistic,” said one participant. “My understanding was that the final document would make its way to the president over that weekend” and would result in a “significant announcement.”But no nationally coordinated testing strategy was ever announced. The plan, according to the participant, “just went poof into thin air.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, was reportedly sharing models with senior staff that optimistically—and erroneously, it would turn out—predicted the virus would soon fade away.
Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” said the expert.

Wut, that can't be a real quote. There's cities in red states as well. And the rural areas in red and blue states are getting hit just as hard right now.
