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 First $2.2 Trillion relief that benefits most on Main Street. Wall Street Corporations have restrictions to tap into system. Covid 19 was not our choice. We will have other Pandemics. Only testing and having vital equipment on hand can help us Mitigate the affects of Covid 19. Then we can return to work!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce 3.3 Million file for jobless claims. QE for the Middle Class may become a reality? Small businesses can apply for loans to retain employees. Large businesses have to retain 90% of workforce to get loans. Some may want to start group GOFUNDME pages, others should Unionize, not a fast palliative, I’m sorry. Be safe and be well.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Important guidelines for Self Quarantine to flatten the Contagion curve. Additionally, if you’re on the front lines, don’t wear street clothes in your home. New symptoms: loss of taste & smell. New caution: don take an NSAID for fever, it fuels the virus. If you must go out maintain social distancing. All my best

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 Who is representing Healthcare professionals? Why don’t they have the protective equipment they need? Would you want your loved one to die, because Healthcare professionals are inadequately equipped to treat everyone? Vote Defense Product Act & allow industry to repurpose for Covid 19. Use our procedures in place to help humanity in crisis. Cronyism is destructive.

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 Global experiment taking place. Compare levels of Nitrogen Dioxide before the virus & now! Levels are way down and can be seen from space. The NO2 in the air, compares to CO2. The next ?, is pollution or particles carrying the virus? If yes, maybe we’ll need a Global shutdown every year or go renewables faster.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce 500,000 masks coming to NY & Seattle Monday. That’s a start. We can’t wait a year for more, we need the Defense Production Act, allowing other businesses like the Automotive Industry, to repurpose to make medical equipment in quantity. They have the manpower and the factories. Set them up and we decrease our need for time spent idle.
