CV05. Economics: What Is a Covid-19 Surcharge. Some Restaurants Are Adding an Extra Fee to Your Bill.
CV07. Emergence: Tanzanian Hospitals Overwhelmed by Dramatic Rise in Secret Covid-19 Cases, despite official secrecy on the crisis. After weeks of growing rumours about a wave of hidden deaths in Tanzania, and documentation of a number of mysterious night burials by mask wearing gravediggers and pallbearers. Tanzania, one of the biggest countries in East Africa has had a surge of new cases. President John Magufuli, unlike many other African leaders, has refused to close churches, bars or restaurants to stem the spread of the virus. Instead he has advocated prayer, hot steam and herbal remedies such as an unproven beverage from Madagascar. Keeping a pandemic secret tends to result in even bigger pandemics. 200608-CV29A. 201224-CV05.
-A. POST COLLECTIO: Another way to have secret or hidden spread is to have a zero tolerance quarantine of a large area with a dense population without making provision to maintain people’s life support, as will be done by China is 2022 to its more independent thinking cities (possibly an attempt to gain more control of those cities), or forcing people to hide cases to avoid penalties.
CV11. Exploitation: Counterfeit Masks Reaching Frontline Health Workers in US.
CV15. Death: The Heartbreaking Story of Meghan's Favourite Children's Author. What we’re all living through now are a series of losses. Suddenly we’re in the strange position where everyone has a story of loss. Those losses may range from not being able to go outside, take your daily walk or go to the gym, to having someone close to you be really sick or die – but they are all losses. So what we’re experiencing isn’t just like grief: it is grief. My own personal experience CV12 with profound loss is that I thought I had an understanding of what grief felt like as I had encountered death a couple of times. I didn’t have a clue and like pandemic it is not something easily explained, it can only be experienced.
-CV15.1. Lives Lost. The Coronavirus pandemic’s toll is often talked about as a number, ever growing - 2,000 dead. 15,000. 50,000. 200,000. Behind each one is a story, of a life well lived or cut short, of love, of perseverance, of heartache, of dancing, of laughter, of sacrifice, of bucket lists, of generosity. Reporters around the world are working to capture these stories in a series called “Lives Lost”. They are the stories of ordinary people who have sometimes done extraordinary things, or have had a profound impact on the loved ones they left behind or the communities they helped to build. When the pandemic is over, and life returns to normal, the biggest scar will be all the lives lost. 201210-CV23.1A.
CV15.2. As the Pandemic Forces Us to Abandon Rituals of Grief, Obituary Pages are Where We Mourn. Online Memorials. The Living Writing Their Own Obits ... Juuust in Case. [Strip]. 201231-CV10.
-A. POST COLLECTIO: One of the motivations for public memorials is that there may have been so many deaths or an extended period that there was no time and opportunity to grieve.
CV19. Technosphere: AR and VR Should Be Booming. So Why Aren't We Interested. Lockdown rules are a golden opportunity for immersive technologies to provide better communication.

-CV19.1. Sexual behavior offers insights into social response to biocalamities, but spreads over so many topical areas (all the ones listed in PDN), and complicated by an equally or larger range of responses to sex, that it is virtually meaningless as a source of information, but indicative of topical areas to delve deeper into before those break liminal thresholds into larger awareness. Virtual Sex Parties Offer Escape from Isolation – If Organizers Can Find a Home, platforms like Zoom aren’t happy about being used for NSFW purposes =2= =3= =4= =5=. 200729-CV12.
CV23. Polemic, Nocuous: US Says Chinese Hackers Might Be Targeting Virus Researchers. CV01. Biological warfare by attacking the means to curtail a pandemic.
-A. POST COLLECTIO: This is more likely to be targeting medical technology, to get a leg up on research to develop a vaccine and treatment before other countries and then capitalize CV11on that advantage.
CV23.1. Responding to Covid-19: Think Through the Analogy of War. Americans reach for the analogy of war in times of national emergency and particularly use our collective memory of World War II. To some degree, the military analogy serves a useful purpose. It offers a reminder of the importance of leadership and a coordinated response in a time of crisis. Still, this paper points out that the heroic narrative of mobilization for war obscures a complex history that have lessons for our own response, and leaves unresolved the question of what sort of postwar era we should strive for. We will learn more by remembering that the achievement of victory in World War II did not come easily through some overnight sublimation of partisan purpose and resolution of economic inefficiencies. Moreover, in mobilizing our response to the current crisis, we should not defer the importance of planning for peace.
CV25. Movement: India Resumes Limited Train Service as it Eases Lockdown. Passengers were allowed to enter the stations only if they were asymptomatic and cleared thermal screening. They are required to maintain social distancing on board and are given hand sanitizers 201231-CV05.1 when they enter and leave. Railways also requiring that passengers download a government run contact tracing smartphone app before boarding the train. Critics say the app endangers civil liberties in how it uses location services and centralizes data collection.

CV27.1. David Tennant, Patrick Stewart and Tamsin Greig to Offer Shakespeare Homework Help to Children During Lockdown. CV19.
CV29. Responsibility, Decision Making: Why Women Leaders Are Excelling During the Coronavirus Pandemic. Since the beginning of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, there's been a lot of media attention paid to the relationship between female leaders at the helm of various nations and the effectiveness of their handling of the Covid-19 crisis. 200528-CV29.
CV31. Futuring: How Coronavirus Could Make People Move CV25. The pandemic isn’t just going to change how we live—it’s going to dictate where we live, too. But the tide of migration is a force as intrinsic to human nature as climate change is to the et. And right now, like passengers clamoring to get off the cruise ships stranded at sea for the past several months, mankind more than ever is itching to move out of dangerous areas. 200819-CV08.
CV33. Legal: Checkpoint Clash Escalates Between South Dakota Governor, Tribal Leaders. 200524-CV22. Interesting questions: Access to properties that are owned by non reservation and non residents on sovereign lands. Does a sovereign area have the right to set up public health that is less or more than the safeguards of other jurisdictions. When neighboring areas have social distancing that is insufficient of too stringent per the public health of other areas. There are no federal highways through the Pine Ridge Reservation (I90 passes to the north), except BIA roads that may be under reservation control and are not maintained by the state. There are two state roads (18 and 44) which have road work and disturbances. The disturbances (not incidents) are presumably the check points as they appear to correspond to intersections with reservation roads, but the same icon is seen on roads throughout the state CV25. Pine Ridge is also part of what is left of a much larger reservation that was had large areas of land taken away with treaty violations, and is next to the Black Hills which was removed from the first treaty reservation. Both the violation of treaties and the Black Hills have been the center of conflicts CV22. Pine Ridge may sound familiar because it is the location of Wounded Knee, infamous for the 1890 massacre and the 1973 occupation CV23.
