AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Simple Covid Test, that I and many others have advocated, for the Public , are to be purchased by the Rockefeller Foundation for 6 bi partisan States, to be announced by Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland & including Va & Michigan. They’ll purchase 1/2 million tests from BD & Quidel. It is hoped all the States will participate.Rapid testing, results in 15 minutes, is the only way to stop the Outbreaks. Have a blessed day.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump is responsible for loss of life in our Country. We are 4% of the World’s population & 25% of all deaths. While we are waiting for a Vaccine &/or Medication, we have a Simple Cheap Frequent In your home Saliva Test ready for public use and scale up. Why aren’t we providing funding for this test now? The NBA uses SalivaDirect. There are 14 other simple tests made at small Labs: Abbott Labs, Rutgers University Genomics & BD all these 15 min tests taken daily would prevent virus outbreaks. They are a Game Changer. Back to school and work safely! ,

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce All Antonin virals with efficacy should be encouraged & developed. It’s magical thinking to expect a vaccine to be a magic cure all. Everyone on our Planet must be vaccinated. Covid 19 would have to be eradicated for 100% protection from this infection. It’s far smarter to test our way out of this infection using the Simple Cheap Frequent Covid Saliva Tedt in every population. This is one issue the World can unite around; the preservation of life and our Societies. We’ll need every tool at our disposal to eliminate Covid & the next microbe to cause a Pandemic. This is not a one time effect. There’ll be many threats to our Societies until we change our lifestyles and allow Nature to thrive along with us!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Good use of smaller Labs. He left out The rapid simple frequent in home testing , which would capture, non infectious & infectious portions that become infectious. BD , & others are using these Rapid Tests, Boston schools are using the Rapid tests. You want to find people who are pre infectious. Go with Michael Mina & TWIV #6 48 Life is Learning EPI costs are coming down rapidly for tests. We can test our way out of the Pandemic . With these tests we could open schools.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Debt restructuring starts a price. There will be a debt re set and it can be orderly & productive for Society. Whether Sovereign or Corporate, if debt collection is delayed, the money saved should be spent on Healthcare & Climate Mitogation. New rules for orderly transitions. We may have to reset consumer debt during this time as well. With an intended ripple effect. It’s not to early to think about the economic effects on People who are out of work & money. A basic Living Wage now would have tremendous benefits to society.$1.6 Trillion gives 154 million Americans $10,000 each to survive the year. No strings attached. Anyone 18 & older. Working or not. Savings in Healthcare would be enormous.

Opinion | Scared That Covid-19 Immunity Won’t Last? Don’t Be – The New York Times & an Israeli Nobel Laureate agree, the vaccine will be effective and everyone should take it. I was wrong about the science when, I assumed it was the antibodies we produced were important. It isn’t, our immune response to the virus protects us. That’s all that matters. After listening o the experts, I’m convinced & have no fear of taking the vaccine when available.

Dropping antibody counts aren’t a sign that our immune system is failing against the coronavirus, nor an omen that we can’t develop a viable vaccine. — Read on http://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/opinion/coronavirus-antibodies-immunity.html AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A double whammy, for the American African American Community. They have a higher incidence of Cancer & other diseases because they live near industries with toxic fumes and now Covid kills them disproportionately more. There is a direct correlation between pollution and increased mortality from Covid. Why aren’t these Toxic facilities planned away from cities and people? Why are they near any population centers? Why is there no enforcement of capping toxic fumes? #BlackLivesMatter.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Allow rapid testing for all Americans in their homes on a daily basis . It’s available & cheap $1/day, easy , like SalivaDirect or Rutgers or Abbott Labs ? Approve for everyone, scaling up may cost $5.4 Billion. Prevents Putbreaks, tests those asymptomatic, easy to trace contacts in 24 hours, Game Changer. Open schools & economy. Healthy go out and those testing positive stay home. Better outcomes. Pooling of tests can be accomplished, too!

Testing Letters | This Week in Virology

From Charles: Dear GOP Senator; When I have written to you in the past I have tried to see both sides of an issue. When it comes to our national response to SARS-COV-2, I can only see a needlessly failed policy. If you disagree, please explain the graph at: https://flic.kr/p/2jo9bxq It is a comparison of … More Testing Letters | This Week in Virology

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce TrumpsGOP is not pro people, they’re pro Big business & Big businesses got 3/4 of last stimulus Bill. Reality: People, need a Social Safety net, unemployment insurance, a Basic Luving wave for those who have been without work, additions to Medicare & Medicaid, child care funding extra cash for support. I support a Basic Living Wage during Covid Time, until you curtail the outbreak with a simple cheap in home daily test with results in 15 min A game changer for schools & businesses Why wait for the vaccine?
