AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The President and his administration were well briefed on the Corona Virus Pandemic. To preserve the markets, starting in February as the virus quietly spread through our States they covered up the facts and downplayed the potential threat of Covid 19. Americans are suffering physically & economically. Our mortality rate is staggering, shouldn’t Trump and his administration be charged for incompetence & the cover up? Why was Trump afraid to tell the American people the truth and help us prevent Lockdowns & Financial meltdowns?

This is not the time to deregulate Air Quality Standards. Why is this administration continuing to decrease our air and water quality? Do no harm!!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce How is it possible, that large Corporations can terminate employees & their healthcare? One day this Pandemic will end & no one should work for any large Corporation withoutUnions, Healthcare, paid leave & a seat at the Corporate Table. What’s a person & family to do? Are we in a Plutocracy? No responsibility toward employees. Corporations don’t suffer, they don’t bleed, we do!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Ohio Governor got it right. He took positive aggressive action on 3/4. Limiting events, insisting on Self Quarantine and now the Cleveland Clinic doesn’t need all their equipment. We can’t afford to relax social distancing, self Quarantine for a month, in any region, till we know there are Zero cases. We can’t be too cautious!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Germany followed the South Korea model early. By mid January they had testing available & published their testing model on line! Why didn’t everyone follow it? When first patients showed symptoms they tested extensively. They’re able to test 350,000 a day and they immediately employed social distancing, which everyone followed. The results, they have 1.1 percent deaths vs the rest of World. Being ahead of the curve paid off in saving lives.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce CDC is advocating closures, social distancing, no groups of 50 & leading to a 2 week National shutdown. Many of us are Self Quarantined to prolong the viral spread. Giving time for Healthcare facilities to accommodate those seriously ill.
