Speak up to save lives and jobs

COVID-19 infections are rising fast. The Millennium Labour Council and the Covid-19 Economists Group are cooperating over this holiday period to Speak Up to save lives and jobs. We will send Covid19EconomicIdeas.org subscribers regular messages promoting Covid-19 health protocol compliance. There are five simple behaviours – wearing a mask properly, physical distancing, avoiding indoor events, using CovidAlert, and regular disinfection. We ask that you Speak Up to ensure these simple actions are done by those around you. More importantly, we ask that you activate your extensive work and social networks to also Speak Up so that we can have a nation of champions driving these simple behaviours so critical to protecting us from the virus.
