AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Mismanagement by Trump Administration, a lack of Federal policy to coordinate the manufacture of needed equipment leaves America unprepared for creating the necessary equipment to mitigate the viruses affect & save our lives. I’m betting on entrepreneurs & Mothers of Invention, while I mourn the loss of a Federal Government that responsibly delivers results! .

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Air Pollution is dangerous for those with Asthma or Pulmonary diseases. We may be more at risk, since EPA is allowing factories to self regulate. Pollution harms many, while all over the World Particulate matter has decreased, why should American fear our environment ? Pollution control is necessary to prevent disease and suffering from Covid 19

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce We’re behind the curve because business profits don’t align with preparedness for national emergencies! Federal departments must control the manufacture and flow of PPE, ventilators and testing to the Public during Pandemics. Lack of testing and is a failure of Policy!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If lives weren’t at risk, I’d ignore the fact that our Pandemic escalated, because the Trump Administration refused to supply the funds necessary & requested by HHS to scale up production of PPE stockpiles, masks & ventilators. Our lack of testing, also fall with Trumps inability in act aggressively ahead of the crisis. With testing, we could identify hot spots and limit contagion & economic hardships

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Federal Government is the “shipping Clerk” in National Emergencies. The system of supplying PPE, mask & ventilators should be based on need not cronyism. Trump has told Pence, he doesn’t want to reward State’s govt , if they’re critical of him .He wants them to grovel for supplies that cure “We the People “. Cronyism is No way to run a Country in a Pandemic

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Lack of early response & testing resources tracked to Trump & his administration. New Cabinet heads lacked subject expertise, hollowed out key personnel and departments left key organizations understaffed. There is a tremendous staffing problem! Government requires Long term Federal Employees to function .

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump double talk, produces nothing for States. His administration’s lack of policy is causing States to overpay for inadequate supplies. What happened to America First? What happened to the DOD Logistical control? Surely DOD has stockpiled of supplies for the military? Why not release them to the States now. It will take Ford & GE till June. If Trump wanted to get back to work , he’d find the equipment to Save American lives now, when needed!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce South Korea’s model for eliminating Covid 19 is too late to use in America. The difference: they caught the outbreak early, they test everyone, people trust government and self isolate allowing the government to track them. They use heat scanners everywhere & have a Universal Healthcare system that pays for everyone! If you don’t self Quarantine & delay the outbreak , the virus will peak early. our healthcare system will overload & Many will die.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Bailout: It failed because it rewards people who make more money. $4500 to 154 million Americans, 18 & older, working or not, Medicaid, Medicare cost $700 Billion. It was needed befor Covid 19. Than, No buybacks for any Corporations taking a Loan. Are we getting interest on the loans? You decide? Main Street needs QE in many forms now!
