Just As President Trump Saved My Life, He’s Fighting to Save Yours Too!
That’s why I’m not afraid of the coronavirus even though I’m obviously not ignorant to the fact that I—like millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions—am more at risk, especially those of us living in high-impact states like California. As I’ve written previously, cancer prepared me for the coronavirus outbreak. I’ve already been left to die in red tape before—only to have Donald Trump cut it and save my life.

In times like this that are so troubling we need a positive story like this. This is a great story about our awesome President who is doing great things to save lives in America.  He’s trying to get us through this illness exported here from abroad and to protect our economy and our work force.

“There’s no cure.”

People are frightened when they hear these words. I know I was.

For those of you who don’t  know my story , after surviving a medical error in 2015 only to be diagnosed with a rare bone cancer, I found myself without the luxury of time to wait for a potentially life-saving treatment to be approved.

Sound familiar? Millions of Americans right now are unfortunately experiencing my same fear—as we don’t have the luxury of waiting months or even years for a coronavirus cure to be approved. Although the coronavirus is certainly different than cancer, it’s still the same invisible enemy of death. But just because the enemy is invisible doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. Especially when you’re fighting for your life—and suddenly find Donald Trump fighting for it too.

President Trump recently announced his visionary Right to Try approach to combatting the coronavirus, exploring experimental treatments that could potentially eradicate the virus even  “around the 5th day of treatment.”

But some alarmists are already crying “danger, danger,” denouncing the President as giving  “a false sense of hope,”  and even going so far as trying to scare people into thinking the treatment might  “kill”  you.

So what’s new? Many fought against giving the terminally ill the Right to Try for  almost half a century —until President Trump got it done. For the life of me, I don’t see what’s so dangerous about having the Right to Try a potentially life-saving treatment if you know without it you’re going to die anyway. Like the President says,  “What do you have to lose?”  because  “you know, we can bring our finances back very quickly. We can’t bring the people back.”

As we learn of the vast array of  bureaucratic roadblocks  the Trump administration is breaking down and through just to make coronavirus tests available, Americans are finally realizing that regulations designed to safeguard public health under normal circumstances can be deadly when patients need immediate treatment. When you’ve exhausted all options, the last thing you want to die from is politics and bureaucracy. That’s why President Trump is fighting tirelessly to  “[slash] red tape to develop vaccines and therapies as fast as it can possibly be done” including exploring the promising combination of “Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin” as well as initiating “the first clinical trial of a vaccine candidate for the virus…launched in record time.”

That’s why I’m not afraid of the coronavirus even though I’m obviously not ignorant to the fact that I—like millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions—am more at risk, especially those of us living in  high-impact states like California . As I’ve written previously,  cancer prepared me for the coronavirus outbreak . I’ve already been left to die in red tape before—only to have Donald Trump cut it and save my life.

Obviously none of us know if the next page in our stories is going to be a happily ever after—or a heavenly one. But I don’t know about you, I’d rather take a chance on life than the certainty of death any day. And when you choose to take a risk and turn the page rather than stay and die on the page you’re on, you just might find  the same Good Samaritan saving your life too.

....The Trump-hating media and their desperate Democratic allies don’t dislike the president any less because there is a public-health crisis, and their principal effort has been to stir up and maintain a state of public fear that grips the country while they snipe and carp at any shortcoming they can discover or invent in the administration’s response to the crisis. The pure fiction that Trump had disbanded the federal government’s pandemic response group is an example of that. So are attempts to blame Trump when individuals self-medicate disastrously when they have mistakenly thought they were swallowing a remedy the president had recommended. Now that the numbers of coronavirus sufferers are taking on a pattern, a possible ameliorative treatment of the coronavirus is being distributed in New York, and testing will increase to 150,000 people per day next week, the fearmongers are howling that any relaxation of the virtual lockdown of the country will cause nightmarish numbers of needless dead. Some of those screaming this from the cyber-rooftops are doubtless sincere. But some are trying to provoke as much economic damage as possible to hang around the president’s neck on Election Day....
