The deadline is now passed to sign legislation and we couldn’t be more proud of what Virginians have accomplished in the past few months. #VAleg
For decades, everyday Virginians fought for this legislation.
And now lives will be changed for the better.
Specifically, we need #MoreTestsNow so we can seek out, isolate, and treat this #COVID19 pandemic. While a coherent Federal plan is pending, please sign our petition for @HHS_ASH to adopt our 4-point plan to address test shortages! https://t.co/HSYwVHzVFl
While we continue to wait for a coherent national plan to navigate this pandemic, states like Massachusetts are beginning to adopt their own public health plans to combat this virus––before it's too late. https://t.co/Eb2Hz8H8vU
Help us overcome this crisis by ensuring everyone who needs a test is able to get one! Add your name and donate $10 today https://t.co/WHtIvi8Y0B #COVID19#MoreTestsNow@HHS_ASH
These ideas are not radical:
🏥Universal health care
🛌Paid sick leave for all
👷🏽♀️$15 minimum wage and a union
🌏A livable planet for our kids
👩🏽🎓Free preschool-to-graduate school education
We have got to open up people's imagination as to the kind of world they can be living in.
Went to get a replacement inhaler today. Told me generic is sold out with a wait list. So my only option is one that cost $175. My co pay for the other is usually $10. I can afford the increase but millions wont be able to. Literally what folx need to breathe/ live is political

I've been trying NOT to look at this website: https://t.co/ho493Bc2Ml lately, since it's not fun to watch, but here's a timeline of just how quickly this virus has afflicted US communities. With how quickly this pandemic is spreading, we need to be doing millions of tests per day
Please like, retweet, and sign our petition asking @HHS_ASH Brett Giroir to use his power in charge of Fed testing program to adopt our plan for getting testing kits where they need to be. If you can, please consider donating to our non-profit work!

Just read through Trump administrations outline for re-opening states as the #COVID19 impacts subside. Something you might've guessed: it all starts with having #MoreTestsNow so everyone who needs a test can get one. Petition anyone? Thanks, @USPIRG!

JUST IN: The Trump administration has shared an outline of three phases for states to begin easing social distancing measures and stay-at-home orders.
Read the guidelines here. 👇

@ewarren This is exactly why we need #MoreTestsNow! The coronavirus that causes #COVID19 can be spread before symptoms show, and it has a long incubation. That's part of why the virus is so contagious. Please sign & RT @USPIRG's petition @HHS_ASH for test kits: https://t.co/HSYwVHzVFl
@BiancaKristen This pandemic and incidentally necessary social distancing has made mental health an even bigger struggle (for myself, and most people I know). It seems the whole of society is on edge, uncomfortable, and ill-equipped to adjust to our new "normal." #COVID19#TwilightZone
@PattyMurray@SenateDems Fantastic! We need #MoreTestsNow for everyone who needs a test so healthcare workers can treat #COVID19. Thanks for the legislative work! For the public to pressure the executive branch as well, here's a petition pushing the official in charge of testing: https://t.co/Hz3i8JKI76
.@USPIRG has been working on a bunch of stuff #COVID19 response. From health and consumer safety tips https://t.co/Rti91UvXkp to pressuring Fed officials for #MoreTestsNow so everyone who needs a test can get one. Please donate to support our work! https://t.co/Oz3pSBVmwJ
The #COVID19 aerosol and droplets with speech, visualized. If #Masks4All hadn't sunk in by this late juncture, seeing is believing. Loud speech is worse. @NEJM today

.@TedLieu is right to highlight the severity of #COVID19 Even healthy people risk permanent lung damage. This virus will threaten to all of us until we get #MoreTestsNow#MoreVentilators and more #PPE
Here's a petition link for Tests pressuring @HHS_ASH :

Case fatality rate in the US for #COVID19 is over 4%. If you don’t die, you could still get damage to your lungs, kidneys or heart. About 15% of people get so sick they need to be hospitalized because they are gasping for air.
This is why you need to practice social distancing.
Given the option between continuing to distribute essential goods in accordance with court order, or shut down whole operation, the same company patting themselves on the back for heroism in my Netflix ads chooses the bottom line. Thanks for your concern, @Amazon! 🤬🤢🤮
Amazon is temporarily halting distribution operations in France after a French court ruled that the company must limit deliveries to essential items while it assesses COVID-19 contagion risk at its warehouses. https://t.co/qKh19X87qe
