>>>Tell Washington: Test Every American for COVID-19<<< Friend, Here’s the reality in America right now. 400,000 Americans are being infected with COVID-19 every day. And only 60,000 of them are being tested. Our current course – of expecting 50 different states to run their own testing programs is simply not working. And a vaccine is, best case, 6-12 months from being widely available. So, if Americans want any hope of life returning to normal by the Fall – with kids in school and people feeling safe in public spaces – here is what needs to happen now. We need Washington to immediately fund and implement a nationwide COVID-19 testing system. As No Labels Co-founder Bill Galston explained in a Wall Street Journal opinion this morning: “To win this war, it must be fought the way the U.S. has fought other wars—as a united nation … The national goal should be testing every American once a week for four weeks. Those who test positive should quarantine for 10 to 14 days until they are no longer infectious…By the fall we could be on our way to snuffing out the pandemic in the U.S., saving lives and reopening the economy and society.” Will you sign this urgent petition to tell Congress and the President to include a robust national testing plan in the next COVID-19 relief package? Time is short and it’s time finally, for our entire country – led by Washington – to unite to fight COVID-19. |
