PDN Introduction.
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. Remember the garage that I have managed to avoid cleaning up for two years, CV being my latest excuse. I then came up with that much of it is stuff that I should go through with my daughter. Wife invited her up. Much of the time has been spent going through old photos – for those to young to remember photos used to mean an image printed on special paper and not easily duplicated and sent of email. Today she found a whole bunch of photo 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 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 why I include art in parademic. CV01↑ CV09↑.
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.

Hurricane season starts in June.
CV22. Longue Duree: Into the Wild. Twice. For Mankind. Part Indiana Jones, part Anthony Fauci, part That guy who thrives at every damn sport he tries, Dr. Johan Hultin is the hero we need now. 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, Myphysis: 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.

CV32. Anthromes: Coronavirus: an Architect on How the Pandemic Could Change Our Homes Forever. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our homes have been serving as makeshift workplaces, schools, gyms and pubs. Many of us are spending more time in them than ever before.
