TheVoiceOfJoyce 3rd Vaccine on its way to year end approval. Astra Zeneca & Oxford vaccine based on “older vaccine “ models. They need no refrigeration and will be dispensed free to emerging markets. No refrigeration is a huge selling point. The most efficacious way to administer the vaccine is 1/2 doses and a 2 Nd full dose. This Anomaly to be investigated prior to release.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Save a Nurse or Doctors or any Frontline worker from despair, PTSD, death . They’re asking everyone to mask up , protect themselves and others. Don’t give the virus a chance to infect anyone and we’ll stop this Pandemic. In my YouTube, after Thanksgiving I’ll show you my Masks and how. I eat under a Face Shield. It’s not elegant but the masks can be. Make a statement or not. Be safe!

TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s tough to think about Thanksgiving & forgo traditional family gatherings. However, Dr Fauci & Epidemiologists are staying with family members only. No one is traveling, except to celebrate outdoors, in a safe way. Take their cue, don’t spread the infection to loved ones. Zoom instead. It’s different & safer, till we have those Rapid In Home SalivaTests, antibodies , or a Vaccine. Hang in there socially , it may be another 6 months. Let’s celebrate being alive and the end is near!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Good news for many, the monoclonal antibody given to Trump, will be available to the Public, through 2 manufacturers , Regeneron & Eli Lilly. They can make your Covid infection less virulent and, if given early in the infection, may eliminate all symptoms! Good news indeed.

TheVoiceOfJoyce What do you do when you find out you’ve been lied to or you’ve found yourself denying reality? It hurts. You feel the pain and you forgive yourself. You’re human. But don’t forgive the liars, not yet, not till they’ve proven themselves by showing that they care about we the People. Being a “ states person” is an awesome responsibility. No one should think American lives are expendable. Nor should we think America operates in sections, with boundaries, we’re the United States of America, indivisible, one Country, one body. We’re all connected. We make up up the whole.

TheVoiceOfJoyce SARS COV2 is capable of becoming more virulent while it spreads to more people. That’s what happened in the Pandemic of 1918, close contact in the trenches of Flanders, spread the Spanish Flu around the World, claiming 50 million lives. Don’t let Covid get you. Wear a mask, maintain social distancing and wash frequently, till Rapid SalivaTests & a Vaccine are in use. To survive , we have to adapt to this virus and keep it from spreading. Be well and stay safe. Even if it means a quiet Holiday season.
