-1. In addition to natural experiments 200209-1 there is analogue. Analogue is used when the exact circumstances cannot be duplicated in nature and/or a lab for legal, moral and/or practical reasons. Analogues include history, exercise scenarios, fiction, or observation of similar social contexts for contrast and comparison. This has the obvious weakness that can render conclusions made from an analogue to a situation invalid. It is a near certainty that there unknown factors about the analogue and the target situation that are not considered, skewing any conclusions drawn and unintended consequences. It is easy to not recognize the weaknesses and draw false conclusions from a model, reason by analogy, use of anecdotes, peer review, and becoming invested in a paradigm even when evidence indicates it is not operational.

They May Not Work in Other Countries^$, for instance its draconian and authoritarian methods are Why We Should Be Wary of an Aggressive Government Response to Coronavirus^$.

-B. These weaknesses can be partly corrected with critical thinking, constant feedback and observation, mid course corrections, testing, learning, willingness to admit error, team work, high standards of verification but rarely definitive proof, and going slowing with implementation to include allowing time for problems to manifest. Even if the desired results are achieved, there remains the possibility that the results were not due to what were thought to be the cause.

-C. The most important means to mitigate, but not completely eliminate, skews is to be aware of differences between an analogue to the current event. PDWN has been using Ebolaphobia to Covid19 and the differences include: Clinically the two zoonotic diseases are not the same, having different transmissions, reproduction rates, symptoms. The reservoirs of both may be bats, but the intervening species between humans and bats are different, as well as the physical environment. Ebolaphobia is an analogue to Covid19 panic, but the fear mongers who stirred blame Ebolaphobia are now the ones who are now deflecting blame [Cartoon]. Ebola is an endemic disease (Covid19 is a novel one that may become endemic) from an impoverished area with limited transportation, medical hospitals and labs, medical surveillance, and in conflict areas. Covid19 human spread originated in a developed country with air and ground transportation networks that link to the rest of the world, massive pollution =2= =3= =4= problems and high population densities. There is the question that Ebola is a horrific disease =2=, that historically have been dreaded and cause panic as opposed to mundane ones like flu and measles 201219-CV21, which have higher morbidity and mortality but do not invoke the same level of irrational fear [Cartoon], or paradoxical effects such as TB that became an ideal for beauty. A still unanswered question is why is Covid19 causing panic, will it eventually be dismissed as unimportant and a hoax, as happened with 2009H1N1. 190623-Polemic-5.1B, 190526-7, 190421-5.1. An additional difference between 2009H1N1 and SAR-2-CoV 2019, was there was dread about and preparation for avian flu H5N1. That did not happen but there was the swine flu H1N1, The Next Pandemic: Bird Flu, or Fear 2006. Why Don’t We Panic about Climate Change like We Do Coronavirus 200322-4A‡, A Climate Change Pandemic$ [Cartoon =3= =4= =5=], Due to Climate Change, the next American Dust Bowl Could Be Coming, More Accurate Climate Change Model Reveals Bleaker Outlook on Electricity, Water Use.

-D. To evaluate the ways an analogue applies. and does not apply, requires empirical evaluation. This runs into a problem as most people believe that empirical observation is science. This is not the case. Science is the testing of an empirical observation that was formed into a hypothesis. The risk is that it is difficult to empirically evaluate analogues and test results, as that means testing deep rooted assumptions, beliefs, paradigms. If the conclusions are too antagonistic to a worldview and identity, then it is likely to be dismissed and resisted.

-E. If you don’t have a plan there are appropriate analogues, Looking for a Pandemic Flu Plan and Exercise. Look no More. The UK Action Plan Against Covid-19, which produces an influenza like illness, so expect that pandemic planning based on a novel flu may need some adjustments along the way. Preparing Your Pandemic Response Plans: A Comprehensive Checklist for business, is a good starting list but hardly comprehensive. It recommends to update now. Updating should be constant. the process is planning >3B↓ not “make a plan”. A Quarter of Companies Are Developing Their First Business Continuity Plan in Response to Covid-19. this making a plan is not a response, it is a too late reaction. For paperwork to be a plan it needs to be widely known before hand, practiced, and adjusted for the specific event. A good plan would include a list of anticipated gaps in capabilities that are in the process of correction, planning assumptions that could negate a plan, list questions that need to be answered, (probably more than once because biocalamities are dynamic) to tailor the plan. Questions include: how spread, lethality, immune vulnerable demographics that can further spread the disease (will that directly or indirectly infect the labor pool), critical supplies and services and which are or will be disrupted, duration until controllable and then contained, what functions can be suspended, communications needs, public relations needs, what business needs will conflict with government and community needs. If these questions are answered before the event they are likely incorrect. Comprehensively Developed Topic Collections.

-2. Analysis of parademic information is a wicked problem, complicated by the fact that few narratives are represented by images that can be posted on a wall to get the full picture. Complex Story. Use a Crime Wall. When we’re drafting or editing our story, we usually have to keep track of many, many threads. What’s an overwhelmed writer to do?. Use notebooks or systems like OneNote (or blogs like PDWN). Complex stories need a bit more. Do you have trouble keeping your novel’s information straight in your head despite the elaborate organizational system you have on your computer. Let’s study the true crime detective’s most essential tool: the Crime Wall [Photo, though Graffiti is a closer analogue for a PDWN crime wall]. A Crime Wall is an extensive space covered with facts, notes, maps, interrogations, and photos of people, places, and evidence – all placed together on a wall. Much like a Mind Map [Chart], a Crime Wall strings together and organizes evidence, linking together all possible connections (also known as a Crazy Wall, Conspiracy Wall, and Murder Board).

-A. Board #1: Character Study, key figures, organizations and positions. #2: Character Mind Map (beliefs, experience, biases, agendas, knowledge, culture, interpretations filters, critical and magical thinking, influences, training). #3: Clue Board, how everything is connected -C↓. #4: Beat Sheet/ Plot Outline, the narratives and their interactions. Other Possible Boards: Research, Inspiration, Settings, Longue Duree, Agent, Contaminations, Environment, Information Gaps, Medical and Public Health Infrastructure$, Decision Making Process, Science, Nutrition, Fashion, Water supply, Transportation, Othering, Humor, Arts, Safety =2= of infected and responders, Communication Audio (see PDWN Tags Keywords, Stub Titles), CYA, Etc.

Pregnant Women Are Concerned about Hospital Births in Light of Coronavirus Outbreaks and Little Information about How it Might Affect Them. 200802-CV16.

-B. A Covid19 parademic [Word Cloud], would be a cyclorama of a fluid montage that includes: art, bats, politics, crisis communications, social media, government agencies, humors, distrust, likely information manipulations, [Graphics], economic affects and effects, media skews, shortages, panics, The Big Danger of Coronavirus Is That We Panic Ourselves into a Greater Crisis, fear mongering, crime =2=, trash collection..... 200921-CV24.

-C. Where a parademic story wall (more precisely a mental template) gets complicated is not just that what the individual items change in meaning over time, but the links between ideofacts and artefacts on the wall: How strong or weak the connections are under changing contexts; nature of the connects range from electronic, indirect, social, direct, temporary, permanent (exist before and potentially after parademic, assuming post event survival), durable, fragile (which does not imply weak but could be strong but vulnerable), Boolean Connectors =2= =3=, and Apophenia =2= [Cartoon] that are not real, but people behave as if these are real. | This level of complexity with complications make parademic as a whole ineffable [Art]. It is however possible to create visualizations by simplification and focus on a single topic with use of analogues -1↑ [Chart] such as: effects on transportation and/or supply distribution, affects on media and/or stock market, and recognizing that parademic and biocalamities are wholistic =2= events*, when well thought out conclusions can be wrong because of an unknown factor that could very well be on another topic specific crime wall. *POST COLLECTIO: Wholism is used instead of holism due to the association with the scams of holistic medicine, which did appear during CV 190929-1.

-D. This alone negates the notion that the capabilities and expertise to deal with a pandemic and parademic can be quickly assembled completely ludicrous, not in funny way*^A. One needs to have developed relationships, a language, shared concepts, training, supporting organization, infrastructure, communication links, critical thinking in conditions of uncertainty, and a team..., Meet the Major General on China’s Coronavirus Scientific Front Line, prevention and control of an epidemic can never wait until the disease has happened. | An analogy would be making an economy stronger by using metrics that favor removing regulations, getting rid of safety nets, lowering taxes, diverting funds to interests that are not community interests, short term thinking, not giving raises and laying off people, getting rid of excesses, ignoring the historical record indicates the same behaviors in the past resulted in recession.... this works fine until there is a disaster, [Photo the traffic light is unwanted regulation and will not actually stop a car, being hit by another car really stops traffic and injures people]. | Though there are more people with the skill sets related to parademic than in 2009, and more information that is directly applicable rather than analogous, these are not a network in collaboration. | PDWN is a single curator/ collector, which should be considered with using its data, analysis and synthesis.

-*A. POST COLLECTIO: This was probably one of the biggest failings of the Trump Administration during CV, sabotaging coordination of complex response system, and belief that it would solve itself^$ without government.

-200112-2¶>1. <CONT 200301>. Covid19 and its parademic are currently in acceleration (acceleration ≠ pandemic). The momentum of this is beyond current capabilities to stop before it broke the liminal threshold of awareness, much less an understanding that this is a high risk bioevent. The strict control and containment measures that could have prevented spread would likely have not been proposed early on, and if implements would have been resisted for legal, political and economic reasons.

There is still a lack of some key information to forecast about the parademic, but it is probably not going to great. PDWN is not qualified to make forecasts about the disease propagation itself, but likely there will be downturns of economics [Cartoon] and population growth*^A, until effective measures become available. | There will be blaming and deflection that will distract from effective measures [Cartoon, Tweet]. There will be misdirection of efforts due to: lack of preparation (specifically being able to imagine the extent of an accelerated bio event)’ key and valid information not available, along with means to collect data and surveillance of progress; effective leadership; panic.

-B. Cascading Social Collapse is very unlikely from a single bioevent, and there is no historical or archaeological evidence to indicate that has ever happened, though biocalamities definitely have been a contributing cause for changing social systems and demographics [Chart]. However, when combined with climate change, polarization, unequal access to funds and health care, high population densities, fragile economies, syndemics, armed conflict, polarization and extremism, exploitation for financial and political gain, vulnerable supply systems, mistrust .... collectively those might be sufficient confluence of factors to topple society. <CONT 200322>1.
