CV3. Information: Misinformation exacerbating and initiating parademic is consistently found. However, disinformation – the intentional and malicious promotion of manipulative and misleading invented information – may not have always been a consistent feature of parademic, but instead was misinformation and erroneous beliefs about disease and geodisasters. Disinformation may simply be a form of exploitation that is popular in this time period, a logical extreme of marketing, propaganda, gubergenic, fear mongering (terrorism, moral panic), Orwellian language, blame deflection =2= =3=, reframing, revising history (including the previous day) ... . Possibly disinformation on global scales will be recognized as an anomalous and uncontrollable MAD, with mephytic (agent of omnicide) consequences after disinformation becomes just as, or more dangerous, to the instigators than the intended targets. On the other hand those who do not survive self inflicted disinformation cannot pass on what they learned ^CV17↓. Disinformation in small doses may be benign, even beneficial, but like other poisons in large doses is toxic and fatal. [Cartoon].

CV5. Economics: How Bad Will Unemployment Get. Here’s What the Experts Predict =2= =3= =4=. The draconian choice – created in part by delay of protective measures – of economic suffering against the increasing probability of morbidity and mortality. Draconian is relative. What is considered unacceptable actions (that will not be supported by political will) in one set of circumstances, become absolute necessities (with wide popular support) under more dire and imminent threatening circumstances. If unemployment, i.e. lack of access to basic life support, is not addressed during draconian measures, there is likely to be resistance in the form of riot 210103-23B -C, and mass assault on facilities with the life support need, or against those held responsible for the deprivations. Wilbur Ross’s Prediction about the Coronavirus Helping the US Economy Could Not Have Been More Wrong. ADDED: Listicle. POST COLLECTIO: Though there were complaints about losing income, the more frequent anti social distance/ lockdown was about taking away individual choice, freedom.

CV8. Fiction: First Steps Toward Reality for a Sci Fi Scenario, ^CV22↓. 200719-CV16.

CV9. Arts: Music Never Dies: “Bolero” Busts out of Coronavirus Lockdown =2=.

CV11. Exploitation: Rats out of the Sewers: Ad Fraudsters Are Leaping on the Coronavirus Crisis. On the positive side, they are maintaining social distance but using the internet. 201205-CV11.

CV15. Grief: Burials Without Funerals, Grief Without Hugs: Coronavirus Is Changing How We Say Goodbye. Alternative Mourning Rituals Offer Comfort and Closure During an Outbreak. MORE: Virtual Memorials and No Hugs: The Funeral Industry Prepares for Coronavirus. 201231-CV10.

CV16. Unintended Consequences: Coronavirus in Russia: How Putin’s Disinformation Efforts Could Backfire at Home. ^CV3↑, 200729-CV03.1, 200819-CV01.1, 201022-CV23. ADDED: And it makes this suspect Russian Coronavirus Aid Delivery to US Prompts Confusion and Criticism, especially since Russia’s Putin Orders non Working Month to Curb Coronavirus. New York Is in Dire Need of Ventilators. China Just Donated 1,000. 200410-CV19. 200410-CV22A.

CV18. Evolving Narrative: The video Muppet Sing Along, Cabin Fever, predates CV, but can be a recycle of a previous narrative for new circumstances. Biocalamity and Parademic (Biocrisis) certainly qualify as changed circumstances. Recycles of previous narratives that are adapted to the current situation are consistently found in Biocrisis. This provides continuity of a priori worldviews, though can be deleterious if that paradigm is a maladaptive to the realities of current conditions.

CV19. Technology: Coronavirus Quarantines Will Be Good for Memes. Creativity thrives on constraints, and Coronavirus is the ultimate constraint. Those types of conditions – extreme boredom and emotional distress – often breed memes. The Coronavirus driven isolation will supply society with even more cognitive surplus, using our free time and brain power for productive activities (like meme participation, and preparing for after) instead of simply consumptive ones (like watching TV). The increasing speed and capability of technology has made it much easier to participate in meme culture than a decade ago. All of that cognitive surplus now goes toward finding dumb stuff (like PDN) to post on the internet, an exponentially increasing growth curve that may not have an ultimate carry capacity.

CV21. Syndemic: East Africa Faces Dual Shock from Coronavirus and Locust Swarms, 201224-CV05. Coronavirus Hampers Efforts to Fight Locust Swarms in East Africa. 200413-CV21. Open letter to Coronavirus.

CV22. Longue Duree: What if Star Wars was done during CV. [Meme]. Context is what gives meaning. If one were only familiar with current information one may recognize the link to on line education during CV ^CV8↑, but not the mythology of the mentor*^A. If you don’t recognize the links to Stars Wars and its associated terminology, you have either died before 1977, or been isolated in an information bubble. The Worst Plagues/ Pandemics to ever Infect the Star Wars Universe Video, which includes the bioweapon narrative.

            -*A. Apologize for the gender exclusion. It the context of the time female Jedi Masters was a novel concept. This was corrected later by changing the narrative that Jedi Masters are male, female or other gender. Prior to that was gender male centric folklore.

CV23. Polemic and Myphysis: DoD Isolating Critical Troops and Commanders to Be Ready in a Crisis amid Pandemic. This is not the same as biodefense/ security. Intent is for protection from other threats (albeit thermonuclear and threats to health and environment) during a period of high disruption, uncertainty and vulnerability.

CV24. Norms: Disobeying the Covid-19 Emergency Law Could Cost You $100,000 and One Year in Jail. Of course $100,000 Canadian is $70,650 US, and while the US has the highest rate of incarceration with high risk of CV, while Canada is #12 which would mean a lower CV risk, and it does not have the death penalty, so not that bad.
