PDN Introduction, Glossary
CV01. Protection: It’s the Death Towers: How the Bronx Became New York’s Covid-19 Hot Spot CV32. Working on the front lines of the Coronavirus pandemic can be hazardous, but staying home isn’t safe either for the emergency responders, pharmacists, home health aides, grocery clerks and delivery men who fill River Park Towers in the Bronx. Even a ride down the elevator is risky. Residents often must wait up to an hour to squeeze into small, poorly ventilated cars that break down frequently, with people crowding the hallways like commuters trying to push into the subway at rush hour.

CV12. Personal, Relationships: My daughter has been here for a few days to help me get more work done in the garage. This is the garage that I have managed to avoid cleaning up for two years, CV being my latest excuse until my wife would no longer buy that. I then came up with the excuse that much of it is stuff that I should go through with my daughter, my wife countered by inviting my daughter up. Much of the time has been spent going through old photos – for those who don’t know, photos used to mean an image printed on special paper and not easily duplicated 0s and 1s that can be sent by email (was just informed email is also on the way out).
-A. Today she found a whole bunch of photos of murals CV09 that I had taken in Hispanic neighborhoods as part of a ethnography through art project CV30. It was amazing how much could be learned from what was then dismissed as vandalism and graffiti. Deaths, marriages, births, gang conflicts, which gang area one was in, relations with law enforcement, access to health care, social issues that were of concern. Interestingly I was harassed three times by law enforcement about being in those projects and neighborhoods, but never by people who lived in the area – well there was time involving a kid and a golf club but the local’s apparently liked the way I handled that. After printing I would return to areas and would sometimes have success sharing the photos and getting people to tell me what they meant. That is probably one reason why I include art, in its widest sense, as part of parademic. CV01↑ CV09↑.

-B. POST COLLECTIO CV03 CV09: During the 2014 West African Ebola one of my sources of (mis)information that influenced what people in the Hot Zone were thinking was Chalk Board news. Because I was not posting on a website that time I have included two of those stubs here↓.
-150215-E.8.2. A weaker indicator is the Chalk Board News 141214-35. Weaker because it may only be reflecting a particular agenda or the perspective/agenda of a news source. A phrase that I have been watching for has either not been picked up by open sources, or has not been made yet. [PHOTO], and [Caption, hover over picture] Bystanders debate the presidential options at the Daily Talk, an English language news medium, which is published daily on a blackboard on Tubman Boulevard in the center of the Liberian capital, Monrovia. Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s campaign slogan: ‘Let monkey wait small, baboon still working” was referring to the local idiom that monkeys are the hard workers and baboons are lazy, benefiting from all the work the monkeys accomplish. The context of who uses, and the milieu, and who is the monkey and who is the baboon can be very revealing, especially if the referent motif is International Aid, specific countries, national government, corrupt individuals, general population.
-141214-35. Liberia's Daily Talk: All the News That Fits on a Blackboard. The Daily Talk is the most widely read news source in Liberia's capital. It consists of a blackboard, upon which a journalist writes regular updates about everything from politics to Ebola. A Liberian Prof Doesn't like What He's Seeing on the News Blackboard. The Chalk News has been mentioned before as one of the few sources of news and the problem that it is misinformation, 141121-E.1, E.7.5.1, 141116-E.44, 141026-E.19, 141026-E.11.1*1, 141019-E.7.9.1.

CV15. Death: American Virus Deaths at 100,000: What Does a Number Mean. On Wednesday, the United States’ official reported Coronavirus death toll reached six digits. One hundred thousand lives wiped out by a disease unknown to science a half a year ago. And as the unwanted figure arrives – nearly a third of the global death toll in the first five months of a very trying year – what can looking at that one and those five zeroes tell us. What does any number deployed in momentous times to convey scope and seriousness and thought really mean. US Tops 100,000 Coronavirus Deaths with No End in Sight. Can Trump Feel Your Pain.

He may be 95, but his work as an adventurer/ pathologist – two times traversing the Alaskan wilderness to solve the riddle of the 1918 pandemic – is helping fight the Coronavirus today.
CV23. Polemic, Nocuous: Militarizing Global Health Isn’t the Right Answer.
CV27. Learning: Germany, Vietnam, and New Zealand Have Reopened Schools. Here’s What the US Can Learn.
CV29. Responsibility, Decision Making: Hypocrisy Gone Viral. Officials Set Bad Covid-19 Examples. Few countries seem immune to the perception that politicians and officials are bending the safety rules that their own governments wrote during the pandemic. From Donald Trump to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, global decision makers have frequently set bad examples, whether it’s refusing to wear masks or breaking confinement rules aimed at protecting their populations.
