youtube.com/watch We may be through with COVID , but it’s through with us. COVID deaths in the US are down to 190 daily. COVID still a challenge for us. The Bivalent Vaccine is available for everyone 65 yrs and older and those who are immune compromised. It’s covered by the Government. Dr Osterholm also discusses … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Episode 129 on COVID Disease & Vaccines with Dr Osterholm of Minnesota. A humane, compassionate discussion.

TheVoiceOfJoyce We’re experiencing a million Americans out of work at any given time, since 2029. There are acute sicknesses from viruses and long Covid. Long Covid now effects 7% of our population and may keep 23 million people out of work for 6 months, to years. Our disability Laws require changing to reflect a new standard for disability from Covid. It’s estimated, 500,000 employees are permanently out of the workforce. Are these numbers reflected in our unemployment statistics? An additional 500,000 have left the health and hospital profession. They’re burnt out. When will everyone recognize, Covid has taken a toll on all of us. Do we need one week paid Vacation time, to decompress from the stresses of this Pandemic? Would another infusion of a Federally funded $1000 check help? It’s a thought.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/29/covid-absence-workforce-health-long-covid For many Americans it feels like everyone is out sick right now. But there is a good reason: work absences from illness are at an all-time annual high in the US and show few signs of relenting. And it’s not just acute illness and caregiving duties keeping workers away. About 1.5 million Americans missed … More TheVoiceOfJoyce We’re experiencing a million Americans out of work at any given time, since 2029. There are acute sicknesses from viruses and long Covid.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Publicly it’s stated, we’re over Covid. Not true, Covid is not done with us. Very few have taken the Bivalent booster and those over 65 continue to be hospitalized along kids under 4 yrs of age. Hospitals are overburdened. The nursing staff has decreased by 300,000 and deaths are now climbing to 3700 per week. More people have died from Covid in America, then any other Country. We don’t have to die from Covid: the 3 Vaccines work, masks work, social distancing and proper ventilation work. If you get sick, take Paxlovid or Remdesivir and avoid hospitalization. We don’t know the long term outcome of being sick with Covid many times, we do know health deteriorates. Don’t get sick, get your Vaccines and stay well.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Actually, based on my personal observations and my community, no one seems to care that 400 people a day are still dying from Covid. Unvaccinated Republicans, who are older, are 70% more likely to die of Covid. That’s someone’s grandma or grandpa! In addition, between 7.5 to 23 million Americans may have long Covid, suffering with fatigue, breathlessness, or cognitive dysfunction. More than 1 million are thought to be out of the workplace, losing $50 billion in wages. We may be through with Covid, Covid is not through with us. Ask the Europeans, Covid variants are on the rise. They come here later this season. Get your booster for the Ba 4 &5 variants, only 5% of the population has gotten their jab. Make a plan and get Vaccinated.

It’s not very concrete. And yet for the individual patient, it could be debilitating.” The World Health … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Actually, based on my personal observations and my community, no one seems to care that 400 people a day are still dying from Covid.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Clinical update with Dr Daniel Griffin on TWIV #936. The latest info on Monkeypox. This is not a sexual disease and there is a cure, the smallpox vaccine. Other Vaccines in trial. Poliomyelitis is being discovered in wastewater. It was never checked before. If you come from a foreign country and we’re never vaccinated, get the Vaccine. SARS COV2 , vaccines are effective against hospitalization. All children who get the Vaccine, are rarely hospitalized or die. Give your kids the Vaccination. We’re still seeing almost 500 people a day dying from Covid. It’s unnecessary to die from Covid. If you get Covid have a Plan with your physician. Get Paxlovid, or Remdesivir or a monoclonal antibody, within the first 5 days. Do not take or subscribe an antibiotic. No one in America has to die from Covid, we have a Vaccine. If you’re up to date on your Covid shots, the new booster can be given with the Flu shot. Get the booster. We’re seeing new Variants of Covid. That’s because we have a low Vaccination rate. We’re lucky, we have the Vaccine. We’ll all be safe, when everyone is safe and Vaccinated.

TheVoiceOfJoyce I don’t understand why our kids aren’t all Vaccinated? The science is clear, the Vaccine is safe and getting childhood Covid is not. Long Covid effects 10-15% of the population. The side effects of Covid are pulmonary difficulties, shortness of breath, fatigue, persistent cough and propensity to have diabetes! Kids can be hospitalized and over a 1000 have died. They get sick and perpetuate the Infection, causing more Mutations. Don’t you want to live a normal life without spreading Covid?

TheVoiceOfJoyce mitigate against Long Covid in kids, protect them with the Vaccines available. Do it now, before further spikes in infection occur. JAMA peer reviewed article, confirms Kids with Covid symptoms 90 days after infection, were prone to suffer fatigue, a cough and shortness of breath. This study was conducted with 18,900 kids over many Countries and reported by UC Davis. Why not Vaccinate your kids now and give them immunity to Covid at a young age?

Nearly 6% of kids report long-COVID symptoms after 90 days https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/coronavirus/article-712913?utm_source=jpost.app.apple&utm_medium=share

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce We’re not safe, till we’re all Vaccinated. Covid protection by Vaccines is the only way to stop this virus. Getting sick with Covid is not like the flu, it’s debilitating. How many Americans must die , before everyone takes this infection seriously? A new Variant has been spotted, Ba.2.7.5 . Variants will arise, as long as everyone is not Vaccinated. I challenge everyone closed off to new ideas, to read the information on Covid. The science is clear, the Vaccines work.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If you’re not getting immediate access to the Covid vaccines , now FDA Approved for infants 6 month old to 5 years, it’s because your State never ordered the Vaccine. Don’t vote for the administration in Florida and Tennessee, they don’t care about protecting your child against Covid. Demand they order and distribute these life saving Vaccines to our kids. 20 million are eligible. Stop the circulation of Covid & its Variants , in our society , give kids the Vaccine.

New Vaccines will be ready in the fall to combat these and other Variants. Get your shots and stop Covid from spreading for a third year. Protect yourself, your kids and Community. Every scientist is warning us about the Winter Covid wave and it’s danger of combining with other respiratory diseases.
