CV Pandemic Daily Notes 200409 EDIT
Updated 211109
On the Parademic website this is titled “Parademic Database Week Notes Ending 191027 BioPolitics”. Unsure why I made this error except that I took the previous day off because I needed a break. Probably did two days of material collection and was rushing when I posted that night. It appears that all the links to this day in other PDN stubs link to the correct page. Likely there are other mistakes like this. I don’t have time to check every link so not all errors of this type will be noted.

CV1. Safety and Security: Covid-19: Starting the Recovery Planning Process. Just as waiting to prepare and plan for a pandemic until after it is underway/ accelerating, losing time that translates to more lives lost, waiting to prepare and plan for recovery makes recovery a continuation of the disaster rather than improvement to avoid the same mistakes that lead to the pandemic. There Are Only Lessons Observed – We Must Learn Our Own Lessons CV27. Pandemic Preparedness: Start Your After Action Report and Improvement Planning Now.
CV3. Information: Warming weather and CV spread. DC Fights to Enforce Distancing and Braces for Looming Surge. CV6↓.
CV4. Politics: Pence's Office Blocks Public Health Officials from Appearing on CNN. US Expels Thousands to Mexico after Largely Halting Asylum =2= =3= 200419-CV24A. “The more untenable fanatic’s positions becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it”.
CV5. Economics: What Everyone's Getting Wrong About the Toilet Paper Shortage, Video. Competing Hypothesis C18. The Toilet Paper Panic: Coronavirus and Reflections from Confinement. 200413-CV27.
CV6. Language: The Next Coronavirus Hot Spot Could Be Philly, White House Says despite CV3↑ warning. Hot Spot =2= is proving to be the wrong word to use for a disease cluster. The implication is that this is where containment and control efforts should be concentrated. Given that CV has an asymptomatic shedding period, the pathogen has likely already spread outside the hotspot, but has not yet manifested. Moreover, with modern transportation CV25 means and different areas practicing or not practicing different levels of social distance CV17↓, the pathogen can jump long distances and being close enough to touch is too close. Calling a place a potential hotspot will encourage people who are infected to leave before hand, spreading the disease, while areas outside may stigmatize 201003-CV18 those from the hotspot. Epicenter =2= =3= =4= would be the better term, though it has its own misleading implications. Disease cluster would be the best word, but only if the technical meaning was understood widely in the context of CV, otherwise it is misleading. “Disease cluster” does not make for snappy marketing of CV merchandise, for headlines, catchy sound bites =2= =3=, and political motivated blaming of others.
-A. Covidiot, the flouting of quarantine, not just the obvious politicians and celebrities, but does overlap with those who are repeatedly making poor decisions.
-B. MORE: CV27 Miami Private School Asks Teachers Not to Get Covid-19 Vaccine or They Won't Be Allowed to Return next Year. SARS Wars – Return of the Shedder, why do some people think that the Covid-19 vaccines shed. This has become one of the disinformation messages against vaccination. Junk science, confuses inoculation with vaccination, based on desire to control what is taught and what is valid. The Centner Academy: A Private School Run by Wealthy Covid-19 Conspiracy Theorists, it’s a microcosm of what happens when antivaxxers and Covid-19 conspiracy theorists educate children. It’s not good. Covid Shedding Has Now Become Something Is Being Transmitted. The Businesses Banning Customers Who Have Had a Covid Vaccine. 200714-CV23.1A. Miami Private School Bars Vaccinated Teachers CV02.
CV7. Emergence: Ending containment measures too soon =2= and Riding the Second Wave of the Pandemic
CV9. Arts: Coronavirus Mural Appears in West End as Artist Urges Glaswegians Stay Safe CV19↓, 200729-CV12. How Quarantine Concerts Are Keeping Live Music Alive as Venues Remain Closed.
CV10. Spirituality: Epidemic Philosophy. Within weeks of its emergence SARS-CoV-2 was galvanizing celebrity European philosophers and social theorists, most of them men in a vulnerable age demographic, to reflect publicly and plentifully on the meaning of the pandemic. These days, it seems, an epidemic demands urgent philosophical inquiry, and lots of it – personal protective equipment for the mind, perhaps. But like much rushed PPE, it can turn out shoddy and defective.
CV11. Exploitation: Covid-19 Is a Once in a Lifetime Chance to Reshape a Basic Human Behavior. Disasters are great times to push through agendas that are not in people’s best interest, because the change can be framed as being benign CV17↓. Who is deciding what behaviors are to be changed, and what that new behavior is.
CV13. Outliers: Has Covid-19 Cancelled Horoscopes. Global lockdowns are seeing the forced return of shared experiences =2= 200428-CV18C. For hyper personalized astrology apps, this is causing more chaos than mercury in retrograde. Horoscopes may be fringe, but supernatural like beliefs provide deeper insights into society during pandemics, to include being among the first indicators of counter trends and increasing surrealism of the pandemic. 200729-CV12C. 200913-CV10.
CV15. Grief: Coronavirus Is Changing the Rituals of Death for Many Religions. Change or stagnate =2=.
CV16. Unintended Consequences: Mail Service Slows in Michigan as Coronavirus hits Postal Workers was expected though not necessarily from the work but from being brought into work while asymptomatic. 200918-CV01A.
-A. What is HIPAA and How Does it Affect Our Understanding of the Coronavirus. 201208-CV33.1 -A, 200906-CV33.
CV17. Uncertainty/ Contradictions: One troubling trend what will assure CV becomes a long lasting pandemic is when different jurisdictions have different shelter in place rules CV6↑. Pathogens and toxic particles are not aware of crossing political boundaries, and can’t be stopped in any case by guns, anti migrant laws (oft time Othering of those who are considered a disease), walls, or no matter how strongly one believes in something that is incorrect.
-B. This Will Blow Over: In States Without Stay at Home Orders, Americans Celebrate Freedom as Death Toll Climbs CV11↑, risk perception error =2=. Texarkana Region Shelter in Place Frequently Asked Questions, Again this is a long term problem that has not been addressed, In Texarkana, Uninsured on the Wrong Side of Town [Photo]. A Natural Coronavirus Experiment Is Playing out in Kentucky and Tennessee, 201217-CV29. Gaps between jurisdictions are easily infiltrated by pathogens allowing them to exploit vulnerabilities.
-C. Outbreak Poses Dilemma for Palestinians Working in Israel. MORE: Palestinians Fear Outbreak in Jerusalem’s ‘No Man’s Land’.
CV19. Technosphere: Academics Warn That the Covid-19 Pandemic Is a Symptom of Systemic Issues in Human Society, these social ills are also reflected in literature CV8.
-A. On Our Own: Forgotten Household Skills, Revived for New Use. People are being driven by necessity, or boredom, to (re)learn some old skills. Mending clothes, cutting hair, baking bread and fixing a dripping faucet, and then there is sex CV9↑. 200729-CV12.
CV20. Communication: Oregon Deploys Coronavirus Triage Tool to Glean, Dispense Data. This is especially needed as its legislative body was shut down due to climate change denialists and misinformation.
CV21. Syndemic and Concurrent Disasters: Canada B.C. Wildfire Season Approaches amid Coronavirus Pandemic =2=, and what to do if many firefighters are sick. Hurricanes in a Pandemic: Absolutely That’s Our Nightmare Scenario, especially with the recent history of hurricane response =2= =3=. How Do You Stop Covid-19 Without Clean Water, 200404-CV16.
CV22. Longue Duree: Why Plague Doctors Wore Those Strange Beaked Masks. Can a Pandemic Remake Society. A Historian Explains.
CV24. Norms: The Balcony: Normativity Lessons in Times of Crisis. The balcony has become a powerful domestic space symbolizing corona solidarity in the south of Europe. Movie clips of Italians singing their national anthem from their balconies were broadcast worldwide in the evening news. Such a moving and spontaneous event united people quarantined. Italians, too, killed time making and hanging hand crafted signs from their balconies with the phrase ‘Andrà tutto bene’ – everything will be alright. [Meme]. 200413-CV1.
