-1. The fastest way to get a strong negative reaction to a biocrisis response intended to contain and control, is to invalidate people’s beliefs. Finding common ground is a best practice to overcome their fears without causing a backlash. PDWN has pointed out in several different ways that is something is believed to be true people will ask as if it is true, sometimes to the point of ignoring or denying severe consequences that result from those behaviors are a result of those behaviors. This creates more behaviors of conflict and unless there is a shared goal. Those who advocate what they believe to be fact, when it is actually deleterious, will be made into the cause of negative consequences and possibly the biocrisis itself.

            -Quote: Having encountered German night hags, Indian ghosts, and having spent a year or two in the Scottish Highlands, he had more acquaintance than most with picaresque superstition. While he wasn’t inclined to give instant credence to local custom and belief, neither was he inclined to discount such belief out of hand. Belief made people do things that they otherwise wouldn’t – and whether the belief had substance or not, the consequent actions certainly did. Diana Gabaldon [Photo], A Plague of Zombies [Cover]

-2. Though unlikely that areas will self isolate*^C at this time, there are precursors 200322-1B, Note: This observation was made during the first of the week, by the end of the week the possibility of area self isolation increased. These may seem abrupt and spontaneous at the time when they are enacted, but like the bradyoccult of biocalamities, there are indicators well before hand. 1) Groups that advocate separate sovereignty and in fact have already done so to a certain extent. 2) An event that justifies more radical separation, such as a pandemic, riots 210103-23B -C, in a nearby city, election of a locally unpopular state or national official. 3) Preexisting geographic semi isolation and/or ideological cluster, Pandemic Apathy, Denial, Skepticism, and Ideology. It is possible for a separatist group to be embedded in a urban population. There is likely to be an established identity, often times having a local name that is not official. 4) Historical tradition of a separate identity, often times crossing jurisdictions or disenfranchised from the jurisdiction it is within. 5) Choke points that can be controlled to prevent and limit ingress and egress. 6) Already have a history of being self sufficient, have been cut off before by floods and other geodisasters*^B, and means to sustain self sufficiency, i.e. learned from previous experience. 7) A sense of community, with local news sources, medical capabilities, terms for non locals and sub groups in the area. Counter intuitively a community is not homogeneous buy diverse, even mutually antagonistic, but cooperate and work together for the larger good ^CV02, defending against outsiders even if they don’t like each other. 8) Maybe near or straddle a major transportation route, will likely restrict access to prevent infections, but will not disrupt it. Self Isolated Woman Going So Crazy She’s Started Talking to Her Spouse =2= =3= ^CV02. 200405-5.

            -*C. An area self isolating is not the same as one that goes the further extreme of separatist. There are additional indicative precursors. 1) Moving to the area specifically for the purpose of social collapse. 2) Homogeneous ideological cluster*^D. 3) Not a community, more like a cult. 4) Previous conflict with authorities, self isolation, adherence to conspiracy theory, Pfizer Pours All Resources into Developing New Hyper Depressant Pill to Help Americans Ease Transition into Self Quarantining ^CV02, likely to be armed, have pre positions defensive positions, and have doomsday stocks intended to last for years. 4) Funding from other extremists. 5) Intentional isolation from multiple news sources, tending to focus on one or two echo chambers. 6) Possibly dress differently and have language difference from surrounding area. 7) Will likely violently oppose entry, and as they discover gaps in the prepping will raid outside. If the group also interferes with transportation and distribution of critical supplies and services they are more likely to face direct military action. POST COLLECTIO: Self isolation in parademic are communities that independently decide to isolate to prevent infection from outside, often times with intimidation and/or an armed response. Paradoxically the types of communities that were most likely to self isolate, which did happen in some cases, were more likely to defy and interfere with official public health measures. In a sense this was a different expression of self isolation, one based on identity groups, and willingly become pariah to larger social norms to comply with their ad populum fringe norms.

            -*D. Likewise there are Mormon breakaway groups that fit the above, tending to isolate, wear distinctive dress, not adhere to federal and state laws therefore coming into conflict with authorities to include mainstream Mormonism, and strive to be totally self sufficient. To Be Clear, it is unlikely that Mormons will try to form Deseret again, there are far more likely candidates. Mormonism was selected as an illustration of area self isolation and separatism, not a forecast of behavior; Latter Day Saints Suspend All Gatherings Worldwide, Including Worship. Alaska is more likely to area and ideological isolation and separation happen. South America's Indigenous People Lock down as Coronavirus Takes Hold =2=, -3.1↓. 200405-5 letter. MORE: It Just Hurts My Heart – How Covid Dissent Pushed Some Latter Day Saints Away from Their Church. 200405-5B. POST COLLECTIO: This is an example where a single search string would not find all related to a topic. Mormon, Utah, LDS, Salt Lake City, would make more connections.

-3. The Coronavirus (CV) pandemic is an opportunity to test and refine the PDWN tags, the a priori categories that may be the consistent characteristics of Parademics. Anthropocene, Anthropogenic Biosphere, Disaster, Infectious Disease, One Health, Social Dimensions are probably not going to be used as they are too general to be applicable during a biocalamity and parademic as they are the very conditions of both. One speculation is that as the CV pan and para -demics (bioevents) evolve that report counts, and frequency will move among these tags. Blurring problem and overlapping. Wholism and interactions within a system and between systems 190929-1.

            -3.1. BioPolitics (Gubergenic) 201216-CV01H, have large overlaps with unintended consequences, misinformation and information manipulation: Viral Posts Falsely Align Viruses to Election Years Biden, Trump Wrong about Who Coronavirus Tests.

Romney: Trump Administration Unprepared for Coronavirus Outbreak. Schumer: Trump Coronavirus Response Marked by Towering and Dangerous Incompetence.

            -A. This Wouldn't Have Happened If Hillary Clinton Had Won, PDWN disagrees. There would have been earlier calls to prepare and warning, but denialists and conspiracy theorists would still have control of the Senate and possibly the House, interfering with and hindering preparation and response even more than with THEPA. Worse Trump would be making even more dangerous tweets than he is doing so now Man Just Buying One of Every Cleaning Product in Case Trump Announces It’s Coronavirus Cure ^CV02, and making claims about how much better we would be doing if he was president. Clinton would likely be so neutralized as President that it is unlikely there would be much trust in her by either party, and greater delays due to political polarization.

            -B. Cuban Doctors Head to Italy to Battle Coronavirus. The Caribbean and Communist island has sent its “armies of white robes” to disaster sites around the world largely in poor countries since its 1959 revolution. Its doctors were in the front lines in the fight against cholera in Haiti and against Ebola in West Africa in the 2010s. Cuba may also be confused in the mind of some White House officials, San Juan Mayor: Trump Put the Debt Before the Dead in Puerto Rico and Is Doing it Again. China will likely follow suit with Cuba with health diplomacy into Africa 201224-CV05 and other countries that the US has abandoned as part of America First, but with similar China First policies.

            -A. PDWN has noted before that valid information is a critical as food =2= =3= =4= =5=^CV02 =6=, water, shelter, socializing, access to medical care, temperature control, movement and other basic life functions. CV is another demonstration of this. This is probably one reason why several papers have opened their paywalls for CV related information, but this has the unintended consequence of opening the firehose and having more inconsistent, contradictory information.

Hong Kong Appeared to Have the Coronavirus under Control, Then it Let its Guard down. Though the idea of returning to a better past is natural, this is likely to be a misremembered past, a form of magical thinking, and if achieved likely to be a return to conditions that created the biocrisis in the first place. \fs24field   HYPERLINK "https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/489684-exclusive-top-cdc-official-warns-new-yorks-coronavirus-outbreak-is-just-a" Top CDC Official Warns New York's Coronavirus Outbreak Is Just a Preview =2=.

            -C. U.S. Economy Deteriorating Rapidly is probably due to policies of the last couple of years that eroded economic resilience and rolled back regulations intended to prevent economic downturns. Coronavirus Pandemic Has Delivered the Fastest, Deepest Economic Shock in History, not exactly true, it is the measures to stop CV that have created the economic shock, exacerbated by anthropogenesis of not being prepared. However, if nothing is done to stop CV the economic impact would be delayed, allow more time to dump stocks, but when it happened the economy would decelerate faster and further down.

            -D. Pandemics Depress the Economy, Public Health Interventions Do Not: Evidence from the 1918 Flu. What are the economic costs and benefits of non pharmaceutical interventions (NPI). Using the 1918 Flu Pandemic in the U.S., finds that more exposed areas experience a sharp and persistent decline in economic activity. The downturn is driven by both supply and demand side channels. However, NPIs decrease influenza mortality. Cities that intervened earlier and more aggressively do not perform worse and, if anything, grow faster after the pandemic is over. NPIs not only lower mortality; they also mitigate the adverse economic consequences of a pandemic. Unpatriotic Whiner Demands Ventilator ^{CV02 3.5A}↓.

            -A. We Need a Unified Military Command for Disaster Response, despite my complaints that DoD is unprepared and could have been more prepared, a framework already exists for a unified command under NORTHCOM/ 5th Army and the National Guard Bureau. It was never implemented (we got space force instead), and in any case it still needs to fall under the Stanton Act and Article 14 of the Constitution with civil control.

-4. Schools/ Education: These are a priori reasons for and consequences of lockdown. [Cartoon]. School Districts Take Unplanned Plunge into Online Learning. What happens with schools are a microcosm of the communities they are embedded in, a discrete and manageable whole to observe and possibly make more general conclusions from. Education gives indications of the knowledge and beliefs of a community, locality, state, nation as they crash into a biocalamity. However Schools/ Education* ^A, while having lots of information and interest, are not in the PDWNs curator’s opinion sufficient to be a tag/ category, but a sub category.

            -*A. POST COLLECTIO: This became a more umbrella category of learning, which included schools, educations systems, remote learning, demands to open schools, misinformation taught at schools, reopening schools, lunch programs, etc. There should be some thought toward Continuity to Education plan.

-5. Case Studies in Social Medicine: A Review is a series in the New England Journal of Medicine that began in 2018 and concluded in March of 2020, totaling 15 brief cases along with an introduction and conclusion. Authored by a group of clinicians and scholars in the social sciences and humanities, each piece is an attempt to use “the case” to sharpen the value of social interventions in clinical practice. The social, cultural, and political dimensions of health have long been deemphasized in medicine. As the creators of the series put it in their introduction, medical training and research are built on an “assumption that in clinical medicine, the biologic and behavioral world of a patient’s body is more important than the social world outside it”. The series is an answer to this problem, elaborating clinical cases using social theory. The Ties that Bind. Teaching the Social Determinants of Health During the Covid-19 Pandemic. Coronavirus Cases Hit 2 Largest US Cities Differently =2=, there is such a big difference in the number of cases, with several things at play: urban density, differences in the use of mass transportation and slightly earlier enacting of social distancing, Coronavirus Outliers: Four Nations with Very Different Approaches to the Crisis.

-6. The Doctor Who Helped Defeat Smallpox Explains What's Coming. Larry Brilliant says he doesn’t have a crystal ball. But 14 years ago, Brilliant, the epidemiologist who helped eradicate smallpox, spoke to a TED audience, My Wish: Help Me Stop Pandemics Video 2006. I would have preferred a headline that was not so misleading, but unfortunately the reality is with competing headlines to get attention such Sharpening (exaggeration and emphasis language) is necessary. The content itself is valid in the factual meaning. At least I believe it is factual as it follows my own conclusions and the consensus of those who I believe are factual and will revise belief when there is evidence that does not fit their a priori beliefs. Finding information that forecasts (not predict, but the range of what is possibility) biocalamity and other disaster is not unusual, nor is it unusual that people, decision makers, officials will become aware of these well after acceleration* ^A. This is called the Cassandra Curse, 210103-1A. This is not the same as the Nostradamus Effect which is sensationalism and apophenia interpretation of random events and prophecy as being applicable to current events, and probably supporting an erroneous a priori narrative for personal political and/or financial gain. There will also be a great deal of Nostradamus Effect ranging from Antivax to Eschatology (Greek for the end).

            -*A. PDWN recognizes that some of its terminology seems to be strange definitions or invented words. In fact the practice is to find a word that is already in use with the meaning only slightly adjusted for parademic. Acceleration of a disease of such a term and one familiar to the curator well before 2009 from working with medical organizations. Parademic Glossary and Concepts.

            -*A. This is not supported by observations of West Africa after Ebola where social norms of touching and funeral practices returned quickly, but stigma 201003-CV18 and magical thinking endured. These normal practices may be more quickly suspended with social distancing as Ebola is still a recently experienced biocrisis. Five Years after West Africa's Ebola Pandemic: Where Are We Now. POST COLLECTIO: Ebola was a concurrent syndemic with CV in parts of Africa, along with other diseases.

-8. We are not there yet, and unlikely that CV will be serious enough to do a full scale shutdown, but planning should be started on shutting down some operations and infrastructure, as well as redirection of personnel to more critical needs. Shutdown is more complicated than most people realize: 1) The location and its records need to be secured from theft and natural hazards. 2) Access needs to be arranged in case no one is around who worked at the location to find the key. 3) Day to day information that others will not know about need to be recorded and mapped – if there was a good continuity of operations plan this is already done). This institutional knowledge can become critical if there is no instructional material. 4) Hazardous materials, weapons, nuclear power need to be secured with secure means to access again. 5) Shutdowns need to be done in a way that it will be possible to restart. 6) Priorities will need to be made on what to shutdown completely, to let deteriorate, shutdown partially or for short terms, how to maintain equipment, not lose laid off labor, and in some cases to destroy to prevent future harm. 7) Museums and historically material will have additional requirements which likely are already planned for but may not have the personnel to implement. 8) There are also networks of communications, water, transportation (air, rail, land, sea, space), ports and manufacture (raw material to final consumer) that are even more complicated to shutdown safely and preserve for future restart. 9) It is likely that some shutdowns will be resisted and there will undoubtedly be some institutions and functions that should have been closed years ago but are still in operation. Frito Lay Stops Making Snacks at its California Plant after Several Employees Show Coronavirus Symptoms, followed by possible shopping panics for chips and a resulting shortage, or shunning chips for being contaminated.

           -A. MORE: Frito Lay Gears up for the Biggest Week of the Year for Salty Snack Sales. This forecast of Frito Lay sales dropping off did not happen. Possibly because plants were quickly closed and decontaminated, with sticker standards when reopened. Either that or American’s would rather die than not have traditional chips at holidays, which may have spread CV by contaminated hands touching foods that were shared with others.

            -A. A look at Invasive Species as a systemic problem. Meet the Ecologist Who Wants You to Unleash the Wild on Your Backyard. The truth is that we need invertebrates (insects) but they don’t need us. If human beings were to disappear tomorrow, the world would go on with little change....But if invertebrates were to disappear, I doubt that the human species could last more than a few months. Most of the fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals would crash to extinction about the same time. Next would go the bulk of the flowering plants and with them the physical structure of the majority of forests and other terrestrial habitats of the world.

            -B. Are Humans an Invasive Species. Yes, but too late to control and contain. They have gone global, are endemic, and already in an accelerated growth curve. Now the anthroposphere is so integrated with the environment that the only way for the current biosphere to become managed to avoid a mass extinction, which are already occurring.

There was political manipulation of patriotism that increased the spread of the disease. There was corruption that spread the disease. There was xenophobia, albeit against Germans – the Trump’s claimed to be Swedish at that time, indicating that a family that suffered anti immigration is not immune to being anti immigration when it is to their advantage. 1918 was a time that the US was just beginning to modernize medicine so it was not prepared, 2019 was after a period of gutting US health systems so it was not prepared.
