AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A law has been passed, only essential businesses remain open, others can go online temporarily, until PPE is available to everyone along with masks & gloves.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Covid 19 recovery depends upon us flattening the Contagion curve. We know most people can’t return to work unless we have Universal testing or the virus subsided. With few benefits, it unreasonableto assume tenants can start repayinglandlords till they’re given clearance to work. Extend the length of time for repayment to 1 yr and start rental payments when people return to work. This is one emergency where we the People have no control.

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 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 Innovation needed: How to provide the necessary tools to scale up production of ventilators now! Getting the plastic shouldn’t be a problem.

Crisis presents opportunity to work &think differently. Be part of the solution. Survive & Thrive
