CV1. Safety: Covid Proof Your Home.
CV2. Humor: Coronavirus Memes Let Us See Internet Humor Evolving Overnight, at first, Coronavirus memes helped us stay safe. Now they’re helping us survive quarantine.
CV3. Misinformation: With Outbreaks Come Misinformation. Covid-19 Is No Exception.
CV4. Politics: Inside Joe Biden’s Bizarre Coronavirus Bunker studying the midterms of 1918, the year of the Spanish flu pandemic when large gatherings were banned in many places and candidates were forced to invent new ways to communicate with voters and run their campaigns. Turnout plummeted that year to 40%, from 50% in the 1914 midterms.
CV5. Economics: Video How Soon Will Covid-19 Peak. (And How To Tell) =2=, Simulating an Epidemic. Also. about media, statistics (data manipulation), accelerating growth curves. Bottom line, don’t stop containment and control until CV is dormant everywhere. ¿Dormant?. Diseases like to hide and flare up 200804-CV31 again when people become complacent by not funding medical surveillance, not getting immunity via vaccine, by thinking it is over before it’s over. Eradication after a disease has become pandemic is unlikely because now the pathogen has multiple hidden reservoirs and is likely to be endemic/ seasonal in several places. Micro pathogens have been around a couple of billion years, easy to be patient waiting for the short attention span of humans (one news cycle to about 30 years) to forget why they do something and complain that it costs t00 much.
CV8. Fiction: A MMORPG is reflecting reality by temporarily suspending evictions. Temporary Suspension of Automatic Housing Demolition =2=. Taking into account the worldwide spread of the Covid-19, and the economic effects of various cities going into lockdown, we have decided to temporarily suspend automatic housing demolition.

CV10. Religion: Trump Cabinet's Bible Teacher Says Gays Cause God's Wrath in Covid-19 Blog Post (Gender), environmentalists and people with depraved minds are also igniting God's wrath. This is more othering or exploitation under the guise of religion rather than actual religion. Sadly, this is not an outlier but typical behavior before, during and after a biocrisis. The parademic concern is that others with similar magical thinking may decide that to do God’s work will involve attacks on those with gender roles outside their definition, environmentalists, supporters of those (presumably depraved liberals). This can easily blur into only those who oppose God will get sick, and that easily translates into attacking medical: centers, supply (or withholding), treatment (or withholding), personnel, patients, animals who are the reservoir of the disease, scientists, journalists ... all of Them. Not exactly a beneficial point of view that one wants to be influencing the secretaries of government departments and branches during a pandemic.
CV12. Personal: Indication of community: The few restaurants in my area that are still open are take out only. While costing more than cooking food at home they are charging less than previously and only serving locals. One popular restaurant was still unable to make ends meet without firing people and cutting their menu even more, so they did a GoFundMe asking for $5000, they got 13,000 in one day. ¡No! ¡No! ¡No!, I will not share the name and location of this restaurant, we don’t share our best eating places with outsiders. 201115-CV16.
-A. Someone who shall not be named (HWSNBN) announced what was interpreted to mean that CV testing would be free. Local medical clinic was so flooded with calls and walkins that actual patients (non CV) had trouble calling and getting in. In Consequence Management this is termed Walking Worried, Worried Well, first used to refer to those people who were not exposed but overwhelmed Tokyo hospitals in the 1994 sarin attack. 200405-6D. MORE: it is also a form of disinformation to spread panic and overwhelm systems.
-B. At a local town someone had hung a sign near the bridge that is the only entrance to the town (this is a choke point). This sign read “If you are not a local, go away” [Photo]. A debate ensued of who was a local. Sign was taken down along with the photo of the sign. They don’t like outsiders bringing in their germs now, but in the long run they depend on tourism.

CV17. Uncertainty: Combining with CV18 because Contradictions, are part of what creates uncertainty.
CV19. Treatments & Vaccination (Anti): The Postal Service's Surprising Role in Surviving Doomsday. The little known Postal Plan, which dates back to the Clinton era, charges mail carriers with delivering critical supplies – like vaccines – as a last resort. Hey, Anti Vaxxers, Are You Ready to Get Your Shots Yet$, the time when vaccines have rendered Covid-19 just a memory, it’s frightening to think that future generations who did not live through it may think of the vaccine as more problematic than the disease. 200918-CV01A.
