The #COVID19 pandemic has created both a health and economic crisis and our response must address both. Today, I signed Executive Order No. 17 to temporarily limit social gatherings, move restaurant sales to takeout models for food and alcohol and also address the use of gyms.
We have also put in place further protections for vulnerable populations as we work to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Happy Mother’s Day 🏡❤️ I’m writing a thread this morning about my concerns as an Autistic mum of an Autistic young person (plural ) during #COVIDー19 and why both my lived experiences and professional experiences lead me to believe #Autistic of all ages are sadly “high risk”
Before I begin it’s an important disclaimer that I am NOT a medical professional,and although I help boards of a social and medical nature ,this is a ponder and insight sharing of my professional support and advocacy life and my personal insights from a personal perspective...
When we see higher risk lists ,We often see Leraning Disability as higher risk . Many Autistic people have no LD but also many also have LD . Many have great abilities /jobs and areas of LD , the term LD isn’t black and white for Autistic people as our profiles are “Spikey “ ...

So this is a thread for friends and colleagues in the US on how fast the Coronavirus spreads. You just can't imagine.
Last sunday, 580 positives, today, a week later, 6.200 positives, and the country is in state of alarm, a pre-military situation.

#COVIDー19 #COVID2019 #Covid_19
So what happened?

Last sunday, march 8th, no one could imagine this today.
It was the demonstrations for women day all across the country and life was normal.

Some voices saying the demonstrations should be cancelled, but they happened.
On monday 9th positives start to spike. Mainly in Madrid.

Tuesday 10th Madrid local Government decides to lock down schools and universities for 15 days.

Remote working is recommended but not mandated.

In light of the recent outbreak of COVID-19, we are all being advised to stay in and avoid in-person gatherings. However, this pandemic does not mean the problems of the capitalist system are staying quietly home-rather, this moment of crisis exacerbates hardship.

Thread 🔻
It is imperative that we not allow the responsibility of social distancing to stop our work. Therefore our coordinating committee has devised a set of plans and recommendations to help weather this crises and stem it's effects. For starters we are stressing meeting online only.
Our March GM will be a zoom conference call on COVID-19 w/ presentations from public health experts, analysis of how capitalism has failed to address the crisis, and organizing for mutual aid, eviction moratoriums and single-payer healthcare

So those running our governments can be held accountable in the future for their reckless prioritising of profit over public interest re: #COVIDー19 I want to start a discussion about what action should have been taken to prevent the spread of this virus.
Bringing in people who have commented on this. @GreenRupertRead @GeorgeMonbiot @GretaThunberg @ExtinctionR @RogerHallamCS21

Below I will list some of the obvious action I think should have happened to stop the spread of #COVIDー19.
1) To me the most obvious immediate action should have been an international moratorium on international travel and flying until the situation had been brought under control in China. At least a structure for this should have been put in place.

The city of Wuhan, China, where #COVIDー19 started, waited weeks before acknowledging human-to-human transmission and taking measures to control it. Wuhan thus experienced an out-of-control epidemic that overwhelmed the health care system.
Other cities in China watched Wuhan’s experience and imposed strict controls at a much earlier stage in their epidemic: They closed schools, sharply limited social contact, and traced and isolated cases and contacts. These early interventions dramatically slowed transmission.
These experiences, & historical parallels, like 1918 flu, show early and sustained imposition of measures to limit social contact will slow the epidemic. This is desirable for many reasons — fewer total people get infected in a slowly moving epidemic... bostonglobe.com/2020/03/11/opi…

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.
