CV1. Safety: Not an absolute certainty, but suspect that Colorado is a place to avoid after CV has ended elsewhere, a likely hotspot of CV with cascading repercussions. ADDED: Citing Parents Rights, Colorado Republicans Vote Against Any Vaccination Requirements, Despite Virus; Colorado Republicans Pass Anti Vaccine Resolutions – as Coronavirus Continues to Spread. This may indicate attitudes that will neutralize Colorado’s lockdown. Likely there will be more kerfuffle about this. POST COLLECTIO: Turns out that by the end of 2021 there were remaining hotspots throughout the US that have characteristics in common with Colorado.
-A‡. ADDED: Treatment of under Vaccinated Colorado Children with Diseases Costs $55.5 Million. 4 Year Old Dies from Flu after Mom Sought Advice from Antivax Facebook Group. Anti Vaccine Parents Crowd Colorado Capital Rotunda in Protest of Senate Bill 20-163. CV21B↓.
CV2. Humor: Need a Laugh. We've Got You Covid with These Virus Songs and Memes. CV9↓.
CV3. Information: Covering Biomedical Research Preprints amid the Coronavirus: 6 Things to Know. These tips can save lives and unintentionally mislead if applied to science journalism. 200728-CV03.
CV9. Arts: Do Re Mi - Covid 19 Version Video =2=. Likely that there will be a meme of the Von Trapp’s wearing curtain masks CV2↑. ADDED: [Meme =4= =A=].
-A. MORE: "Have the New Jab" - "Hallelujah" Adapted by the Marsh Family Video. There are other available adapted song parodies of the lockdown and vaccination resistence by the Marsh family: "Under Pressure", "One Day More", "Test Monkey", "Twelve Days of Christmas (Corona)", "I Know Them Too Well", "Prostectomy Song", "Somewhere (There's No Place for You)" - , "Let's Just Get Through Christmas", "Shallow", "Amazing Grace", "A Million Dreams", "Totally Fixed Where We Are", "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "Ten School Commandments", "Do You Hear the People Sing", "When Will Our Lives Begin", "It Sucks to Be Me" , "Where You Are", "From a (Social) Distance", "Freedom of Life", "From Now On", and more.
CV10. Spirituality: Religion is oft times not completely appropriate category for some articles. Coronavirus Could Ignite Revival like a Diesel Engine. The diesel ignition is an apt analogy, but there are unfortunate associations with fossil fuels, dominionism, crucible, extremism and burning at the stake during moral panics and culture wars. POST COLLECTIO: There is another analogy with the analogy of the consequences of putting diesel in a gas engine or gas in a diesel.
CV12. Personal: PTSD is more likely in humanitarian work =2= =3= =4= than combat. Also called Burn Out and Moral Injury, this also impacts remote research, academics, and news addicts. I mention this as I have noted my own signs of PTSD. My usual coping mechanisms are eroding. May have to take a break tomorrow, though that will be stressful in its own way. CV17. 200504-CV16. POST COLLECTIO: Ended up taking the next day off, and continued to do so about once a week.
CV15. Grief: Speculation on my part but behaviors seen in biocrisis could be explained by anger and denial, steps 1 and 2 of the Kubla-Ross Model. There will eventually be acceptance (giving up or adaptation) as this progresses.
CV17. Uncertainty/ Contradictions: Coronavirus Now Third Leading Cause of Death in US =2=, Coronavirus Was the 2nd Leading Cause of Death in the U.S. on March 31. Coronavirus Is Now the No. 1 Killer in America$. Likely the data is skewed with disrupted statistic collection, fewer people driving and getting access to lethal drugs 200424-CV14, editorial/ political spin up or down, and being black =2= CV22↓. Coronavirus Death Toll in US Likely Worse than Numbers Say. Modeling Coronavirus: Uncertainty Is the Only Certainty. 201216-CV01.
CV19. Technosphere: The Technology That Could Free America from Quarantine*A, contact tracing is working in South Korea and Singapore, but it raises privacy issues 200906-CV33. Usually such a Orwellian Big Brother (¿Big Doctor?) concern is not a widespread concern, but recent patterns of behavior raises the issue of misuse of data collected for medical and humanitarian purposes.
-*A. The Atlantic is making vital coverage of the Coronavirus available to all readers. Information sharing is not the same as information acceptance.
CV20. Communication: Hackers’ New Target During Pandemic: Video Conference Calls. As tens of millions of people turn to video conferencing to stay connected during the Coronavirus pandemic, many have reported uninvited guests who make threats, interject racist, anti gay or anti Semitic messages, or show pornographic images. The attacks have drawn the attention of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. MORE: Nation Close to Getting Video Conferencing Software to Work CV02. 200505-CV23.1.
CV21. Concurrent Disasters: Distribution of food is accelerating into a major problem of available labor for distribution, not yet from the lack of food but that will likely be due from lack of cheap migrant Labor. California National Guard Set to Stage in Santa Rosa, Starting at Redwood Empire Food Bank. Latest Guard Update: More than 11,400 Troops Mobilized for Covid-19 Response =2=.
-A. Deployment of the National Guard lead to dread and rumor, especially among the paranoid who are hoping for a military coup to justify their conspiracy theories CV18. National Guard Trying to Dispel Coronavirus Rumors: They’re Working on Tests, Not Moving Weapons CV23. When we show up in camouflage we tend to drive a crowd, but we're not bringing weapons or anything like that. Over time there is an increasing likelihood of theft, hijacking, riot 210103-23B -C, physical violence, armed resistance to medical access. These will necessitate security of life support services and supplies, especially in a society that experiences and expects gun violence, and has facilitated this behavior with permissive laws. Paired with the social collapse narrative there will be violent confrontation. There already are SRUFs in place and trained for. CV01, CV23. 200419-CV24. 200801-CV31.
-B. POST COLLECTIO: This conspiracy theory of a coup culminated in conspiracy theorists January 6 occupying the US Capitol. The Active US Military largely stayed out of controlling that insurrection attempting to violently overthrow the US Government. 210103-CV23A, 210103-23B -C CV1A↑. Amid Threats to Members, House to Vote on New Security. Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger who served three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, says it took time for him to stop constantly scanning his environment for threats when he returned from war 15 years ago. But after the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, he says he’s picked the habit up again. MORE: How Coronavirus Affects Veterans Like Nobody Else CV23.
CV22. Longue Duree: This observation comes as a total surprise*A =2=. Amid Coronavirus Pandemic, Black Mistrust of Medicine Looms. African Americans More Likely to Die from Coronavirus Illness, Early Data Shows =2=. CV17↑. Same issues are happening in other vulnerable and othered communities that have been long neglected, to include violence. 200411s24 -CV15. 201216-CV01.
-*A. This is an illustration of sarcasm and irony CV02. Using the ☺ CV02 to signal this feels like shadenfreude (secretly feeling pleasure at the misfortune of others), a slimy taint of epicaricacy (Greek epi + chara + kakon English upon - joy - evil), CV06. POST COLLECTIO: This reaction was implied several times in 2020 with announcements of people who denied CV and then became sick. There were people who implied that only city people, liberals, non (evangelical) Christians or had previous health conditions were the one who got sick/ died.
CV23. Polemic and Myphysis: Why Has Turkmenistan Reported No Cases. While the world battles Coronavirus and more and more countries lock down their populations, Turkmenistan is holding a mass cycling rally to mark World Health Day. There is a consistent and historical pattern that authoritarian countries state that they have outbreaks under control or already suppressed it and have no cases.
CV24. Norms: Conflicting norms in Mideastern Burial Traditions Clash with Fears of Contagion. Bereaved families have faced traumatic restrictions on burying their dead amid the pandemic. Religion and customs that require speedy burials in the largely Muslim region have clashed with fears of Covid-19 and government mandated lockdowns.
