Nothing changed with the debate, we found out Governor Walz is a decent man and JD Vance is a chameleon. He’ll calmly tell you what you want to hear! All lies. He supports families, but not all families. Will he let a woman have a right to choose her healthcare? No! Will he offer childcare … More AmericaSpeaksTheVoiceOfJoyce. Ep. 253: “Trump’s World”
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.

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. 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/15/covid-19-coronavirus-us-surge-complacency “Hospitals are at maximum capacity,” said Brendan Williams, president and CEO of the New Hampshire Health Care Association, of his region’s current rates. “I’m not sure what the trajectory of this thing’s going to be, but I am worried.” The majority of Covid hospitalizations are among those 65 and older, although the share for … More 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.
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/17/fauci-interview-long-covid-risk-emergency-response-coronavirus The cold fact that Covid-19 still kills 400 people a day in the US catches public attention more acutely than estimates of the millions suffering from long Covid, Fauci added. “People say, well, what does that mean? 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. 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.
