PDN Introduction.
CV1. Safety, Security: Memphis Congressman Asks Tennessee, Neighboring States to Issue Shelter in Place Orders, 201217-CV29. It is impossible to prevent, contain and control a pathogen outbreak, unless those in close proximity do the same. In a global pandemic that means every country; Japan Scientist Very Pessimistic Olympics Will Happen needs two conditions, controlling Covid-19 in Japan, and controlling Covid-19 everywhere. This does not necessarily mean a total lockdown, but draconian measure becomes needed as jurisdictions avoid the milder measures of social distancing. If protective measures are not done the problem will eventually self correct – there will be no one left to infect, and the pandemic will burn out from lack of fuel (potential hosts). 200512-CV08. 200332-CV10. 201223-CV18A.
-A. Stress Reactions Email. I especially like how this was personalized to make me feel I am more than an account number.
CV2. Humor: Much of parademic is speculation and not yet quantified. Have noted this before during the past several years, but it may indicate a systemic social problem that the best available information about CV is humor.
CV3. Information: Another Victim of the Pandemic: Trust in the Government. The current Coronavirus situation in the US is reminiscent of what Japan experienced in the aftermath of the Fukushima accident. In both cases, the government provided information that could not be trusted. In both cases, the result has been detrimental to public health and safety and democracy. 201223-CV18.
CV4. Politics: Protests Erupt Again over Coronavirus Shelter in Place Orders. Here's Why Governors Aren't Budging =2= =3= =4=. Fauci Warns Covid-19 Cases Could Surge If Stay Home Orders Lifted Too Quickly =2=. Health Care Workers Block Denver Protesters Calling for End to Stay at Home Orders =2= =3= =4= =5= apparently PDNs concern about counter protests was unfounded, 200419-CV24A, that is until someone is run over. There will be comparisons to Tiananmen Square and claims made that these were protest actors =2= =3= CV06.
-A. POST COLLECTIO: Some protests did become violent, but these largely were clashes with law enforcement. There were few if any counter anti lockdown protests, notably the one by health care workers.
CV5. Economics: Who Will Be the Winners in a Post Pandemic Economy. These characteristics should also include those who prepare for the next pandemic.
-A. Nobody’s Buying Clothes Right Now. So Stores Are Filing for Bankruptcy.
-B. Steve Mnuchin Thinks the Economy Will Bounce Back in Months. That’s Very Unlikely.
-C. Some US Producers, States Reopening amid Political Pressure CV29B↓.
CV6. Language: Losing Face: The Rise of the Mask, and What’s Lost Behind It. The rise of the protective face mask has abruptly excised half of the face from our moment to moment human interactions. With it has come a removal of crucial visual cues that people have used for millennia to communicate, understand each other and negotiate space in the public arena – to find common ground. The 7% Rule Fact, Fiction, or Misunderstanding the adage that communication is only 7 percent verbal and 93 percent non verbal. Face Mask Recommendations Pose New Challenges for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community.
-A. Masked Faces. Unmasked [Faces] ADDED: [Cartoon].
CV7. Emergence: There are indicators of astroturfing the anti Shelter in Place protests. Disinformation campaigns to influence (incite) behaviors do not meet the criteria of an emergent behavior, but the behavior itself can be emergent. In this case there have been so many state and privately sponsored disinformation campaigns originating from the same sources and motivations, that the protests cannot claim to be an emergent in response to a disaster. There are legitimate concerns expressed in these protests, but may be provided talking points are group think CV29B↓ =2= =3=CV29 memes. Some of the protest signs are examples of emergent behavior, 33 Signs From "Reopen" Protests Across the U.S. That Are 100% Real and good irony CV02.
-A. Ventilator from Old Car Parts. Afghan Girls Pursue Prototype. 200819-CV28.1.
CV8. Entertainment: Flipping the Script of the Disaster Flick. For Cameroonians faced with the realities and stereotypes of their country’s armed conflict, watching Covid-19 hit New York City is cinematic catharsis CV23. I’ve speculated that part of why Godzilla, King Kong and other megamonsters are popular is these are a metaphor of disaster and are cathartic as the megacities may be perceived as the underlying reason for misery in poor countries.

CV10. Spirituality: How Muslims Are Preparing to Observe Ramadan During the Coronavirus Pandemic. 200423-CV10.
CV13. Outliers: [Photo =2=] CV01 CV02.
CV17. Uncertainty, Contradictions: Boolean Logic Chain – Health Care Workers Are at High Risk of Catching Covid-19 AND Nurses, Surgeons, Janitors: The First US Health Workers to Die from Covid-19 =2= AND Health Care Workers Around the World Are Sharing Bruised, Exhausted Selfies after Hard Days Treating Covid-19 Patients =2= AND Nurses, Doctors Exposed to Covid-19 Who Miss Work May Lose Their Job under Aid Bill AND Sick Nurses must Prove They Got Covid-19 on the Job AND US Hospitals Are Struggling to Respond to the Covid-19 Pandemic AND New York Nurses Union Sues State, Hospitals over Coronavirus Working Conditions AND The 5 Main Causes of Burnout in Healthcare =2= ENTAILMENT GREATER numbers not reporting to work LESSER numbers working CASCADE GREATER attrition of personnel LESSER provision of health care and related services. LOOP.
-A. POST COLLECTIO: Stub CV17↑ is similar to the sillygism – not a misspelling of syllogism, but to sharpen that fallacious logic 201206-1A or conspiracy theory in use – from stub 200403-CV4. I’ve used boolean in searching for information and as a way to reconstruct the logic of magical thinking/ conspiracy theory for the purpose of identifying is what social context/ construct is a belief deemed valid. Not particularly useful during the first year of CV as some behaviors were not internally logically consistent. Apparently this was used to avoid experiencing cognitive dissonance, and questioning personal behavior. Could find nothing in the literature about the psychology of avoiding cognitive dissonance, but suspect the principal is within the parameters of the Milgram experiment. Agnotology is close, but I observe that cultural origins are not always the cause. This probably indicate more about what people don’t understand about ourselves, and a reluctance to look to closely at the phenomena. [Strip].
CV21. Syndemic, Concurrent Disasters: Smog may not be the only disaster reversed a bit by CV. Cartels Are Scrambling: Virus Snarls Global Drug Trade with the same logistic problems hitting legal businesses. POST COLLECTIO: Toward the end illegal drug distribution had adapted to the disruptive conditions of CV.
CV22. Longue Duree: Beyond Quarantine Critique. Quarantine may have taken the world by surprise, but it’s hardly a novelty for medical historians. Or perhaps this time there is just a little surprise, as the cruise ship dimension of the current crisis has recalled and repeated measures from an old maritime world more directly than, say, the SARS epidemic. 200819-CV08, 200731-CV08.
CV23. Polemic, Myphysis: Why Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro Joined a Protest Calling for a Military Coup. He happily endorsed the right wing demonstration fueled by anger over Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. 200501-CV05.
-A. Syria’s Divisions Damage Efforts to Mobilize Against Virus. In Tal Tamr, Syrian Kurds Seek Safety and Shelter from Turkish Attacks. 200501-CV23.
-B. North Korean Defectors, Experts Question Zero Virus Claim. Doctors in North Korea during the SARS outbreak and flu pandemic, didn’t have much more than a thermometer to decide who should be quarantined. Barely paid, with no test kits and working with antiquated equipment, doctors were often unable to determine who had the disease, even after patients died, said Choi. Local health officials weren’t asked to confirm cases or submit them to the central government. 200726-CV04.
CV24. Norms: Release of Older at Risk Prisoners with Violent Records Poses Little Crime Risk. To deal with unsafe health conditions in prisons and jails during the Covid-19 pandemic, officials are granting early parole releases to low risk prisoners or transferring them to home confinement CV01. 200806-CV33.
-A. Testing to see if lumping all of one enabling factor for CV is workable. This will allow readers to skip that repetitive data source. Trump Shocks in Time of Crisis with His Standard Approach =2= =3= =4= =5= =6= =7= =8= =9= =10= =11= =12= =13= [Meme]. CV05 CV06 CV11 CV12 CV20 CV29. 200421-CV5A.
CV26. Environment, One Health: Virus Aftermath: Optimism or Pessimism about its Effect on Climate Change. Some are optimistic that victory over the Coronavirus will instill greater appreciation for what science, government, and business can do together to tackle climate change. Others fear the virus’s economic damage will set back climate efforts by years. Lower smog.
CV27. Learning: Didactic Historicism and the Historical Consciousness of Epidemics. Epidemiological and Global Health narratives are saturated by pronouncements of and reflections on “the lessons of this” or “the lessons of that” historical outbreak. As soon as an epidemic is resolved, our screens, newspapers, and journals begin to be populated by talks, articles, and editorials proclaiming the “lessons of SARS” or “the lessons of Ebola” 200812-CV21.2A. These narratives are then recycled when a new epidemic, like Covid-19, erupts, with “the lessons of X” functioning like yardsticks for failure and success, and prophetic mechanisms for what we should expect of the ongoing epidemic. Reminds one of preparing for the last global pandemics, such as the mid Intensity 1918H1N1, and the low intensity & maligned 2009H1N1. Not much resulted in lessons learned and implement from either one.
CV28. Logistics: The US Reportedly Ordered Millions of N95 Masks from Unproven Suppliers. I may be mistaken or very outdated, but HHS used to have contingency contracts for disasters and pandemics to cover medical surges. This is when manufacturers were pre checked and approved to supply for disaster needs. Do I misremember, was this another defunded area, or something that was forgotten about and not activated. Workers Head Home after 28 Days of Making Covid-19 Protective Gear and were in work (shelter) in place. Hopefully they will get masks and remember that now they will have to do other social distancing.
-*A. POST COLLECTIO: As best as I can determine these contracts lapsed prior to when the PAHPA itself lapsed, and still had not be recreated after it was signed back into law 190630-180603-1.2>7 in June 2019, before CV began. This may have been why the Strategic National Stockpile had not been maintained 200501-CV12 with items such as N95 Masks and Ventilators. Later, there was an added complication that a Trump Official made it policy that the Strategic National Stock Pile SEARCH (SNS) was only for the Federal Government.
CV29. Responsibility, Decision Making: Influencers are a type of social power where one can cause an event or activity, without having to assume the responsibility for the consequences. How Influencers Are Milking the Coronavirus for Clout – and Money. Will the Coronavirus Be the Tipping Point That Makes People See Influencers as the Small Businesses They Are, 200829-CV11, 201011-CV16A, the serious responsibilities that come with making social media your business. Many successful influencers, especially old school mommy bloggers =2= =3=, still cling to the notion that they are just regular, everyday people. =3= =4= =5= =6=. CV3 CV4 CV5 CV18 CV19 (social media) CV20.
-A. A mix of influencers and leaders: An Open Letter to My Fellow Working Moms During the Coronavirus Outbreak (Gender). Our employers expect us to work. Our children’s schools expect us to teach. And our children expect us to entertain them. 1) Educated, professional mothers who learned about Covid-19 on their morning commutes and had a contingency plan for childcare in place before they ever canceled schools. 2) Stay at home moms with multiple children. Calm and rational, they have their homes already stocked with enough food and other essentials to last several weeks. 3) Realized yesterday that this might mean she has to stay at home with her children for weeks on end without any adult conversation. These women are afraid for their mental stability. Disney Plus, wine and grocery delivery services will be her only hope. 4) Homeschoolers who work part time and are using the virus to promote self empowerment and her business on social media. Currently googling how to make organic hand sanitizer 201231-CV05.1 for her non vaccinated, vegetarian children. 5) Those who don’t “give a s**t about the threat of Covid-19 and will continue on with life as if everything were normal. Gender here is understood to be the role of Mother is not exclusive to a sex and overlaps with Father. CV2. There are also two other types 6) trapped with abusers ADDED: [Cartoon], 7) the future boom industry of divorce.
-B. Have previously noted that in China the local level of government Communities of Complicity: Notes on State Formation and Local Sociality in Rural China was inadvertently encouraged to not report problems to the national level. Shame and Complicity in the Reactions to the Coronavirus. The tight policies of the lockdown exacerbate a general problem with Chinese government hierarchies, an excessive focus on negative incentives in the so called rule of mandates. As long as local officials don’t offend against a series of core mandates, they are fine. If, however, they do offend, they cannot be promoted. In the US this is known as the Six Phases of a Project [Chart] & Group Think CV07↑. 200830-CV16B.
