I think that political division has caused some of us to find situations amusing based upon political stances of certain people, and I recall that Herman Cain was advocating against taking precautions, such as against masks.. or social distancing..  .. if he did die from Corona based on NOT taking adequate precautions and based on his previously taken public stances on the matter, that seems to be implied by the amusing stance on the matter...

I think that I took some similar stances in regards to Boris Johnson catching Corona and also that preacher who died from covid after attending marti gras and being so vocal about the purported fakeness of the virus.

There had been some outrageous virus deniers out there, but some of the actual statistics, including actual deaths make it more difficult to deny either the existence of the virus or that a variety of precautions and virus focused measures might be in order to consider and to implement... science and fact based, especially.    amusing, funny or strange as that might be.
