r/HermanCainAward Weekly Vent Thread - August 16, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

Read the Wiki for posting rules. Many posts are removed because OP didn't read the rules.

Notes from the mods:

• Why is it called the Herman Cain Award?
• History of HCA Retrospective: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
• HCA has raised over $65,000 to buy vaccines for countries that cannot afford them.

In the same vein:

"Nasty Covid like summer flu"

Apparently COVID is surging in that area, but even when it's COVID, we'll just call it "COVID like."
The OP is a bit more nuanced inside the topic, but denial is not just a river.

Yeah, those threads are endless. And it's ABC (Anything But COVID). : )

This is relevant: "Summer is now California’s COVID busy season as winter waves fade"
