USA COVID19 Shelter in Place through May, 2020
Please sign the petition and advocate with your congressional representatives to have a Shelter-In-Place mandate for all US Citizens through April and May, 2020.
Why is this important?
USA has the most COVID19 cases with a minimum of testing, suggesting the true number of cases is much greater. There is no strategy for quelling it happeninig. The President has asked people to minimize contact and home for two weeks, but now says he wants to "open up by Easter," which would be a disaster. The impactful containment efforts of China and South Korea suggest that a commitment to long-term (2 months or more), social distancing, vigilant hand-washing, surface cleaning, ubiquitous testing and containment of sick people will reduce the spread. China and South Korea's new cases are minimal. We must follow their lead. Please press your representatives to protect you and the ones you love by mandating a shelter-in-place order now.
