Hogan said cancer 'perhaps made me more intensely focused on trying to protect the health of everybody,' now that Maryland is threatened by the coronavirus.

"I do have a lot of empathy for people going through those kinds of things," Hogan said, adding that while his experience governing during the pandemic has differed greatly from his personal experience fighting cancer, there are parallels between the two."It perhaps made me more intensely focused on trying to protect the health of everybody. It probably didn't just impact my decisions on the coronavirus, but probably everything I do as a governor.

Hogan recently had his five-year checkup and he remains cancer-free."When the pandemic's over, I can go back and hug some people," he said. But he still has to deal with a climbing health crisis in his state. Despite the increase in cases, Hogan said Tuesday that he will not change the state's reopening plan now, but added that he would consider doing so in the future if rates of deaths, new infections and hospitalizations continue to rise,"But as soon as we start to see numbers that don't look good, it's going to cause us to take whatever actions that are necessary,".

Hogan dives into the pandemic, his cancer diagnosis, the protests for racial justice that flooded his state following theStill Standing: Surviving Cancer, Riots, a Global Pandemic, and the Toxic Politics that Divide America

LarryHogan Well Govoner, we have the best hospital in Maryland and I’m sure there going to take care of you , like you took care of us

marklewismd The first paragraph of this article says it all for cancersurvivors. It changes you as a person. It makes you not afraid to stand up and say what you think. So, So, True.

So basically, it took his own health scare to start caring about other people's health in the slightest. Not a great look.

Also, I give praise to Republician Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland for standing up to Trump, defending his state of Maryland, our nation, us the American people and himself.

Republician Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland is one the very few Republician Governors who are doing what Trump and alot of other Republician Governors should doing to save lives for people who in live their states.

Ok but then one of my dumbass extended relatives posted a pic last week of her and her friends eating crabs at an indoor restaurant in Maryland without masks so 🤷‍♀️

Clown didn't even know his state had Federal testing sites

Screw the maggots&vermin in the 9,000 jared kushner how zing housing units, hogan, & elijah cummings said not one thing. Does hogan get a retirement check from his time overseeing the not-like Hogan's Heroes compound for asylum seekers in Mexico? Is he on steroids, re: bloating.

This was not his best “performance.”
