PDN Introduction.
CV03. Information: Facebook Will Show Users a Pop up Warning Before They Share Content That’s More than 90 Days Old. Facebook acknowledged that old stories shared out of their original context play a role in spreading misinformation. The social media company said ‘news publishers in particular’ have expressed concern about old stories being recirculated as though they’re breaking news. This is not just a social media problem, mainstream media constantly puts out an old story as breaking news, not to mentioned circulation of stories that have already been debunked. It is also always possible to easily identify that a story is not new. It is not uncommon for a story to be reworked to fit current news, and recycled. SLAI RIDE. 181223-1.
-*A. MORE: This may be inadvertent by not considering that what is new to the author, may not be new to others. Journalism is not an academic discipline where it is habitual to check prior work on one’s own topic, but in the profession of selling current news. PDN can be accused of presenting concepts as being new. In fact a great deal of the concepts can be traced back to American Cultural Anthropology, specifically Franz Boaz and his students, who influenced anthropology thought to this day. Essentially what is new is that PDN applies those concepts to a type of human experience and activity that is global. #BOOK Gods of the Upper Air.
CV03.1. Infodemic Monitor: Fact Checking Networks Fight Coronavirus Infodemic. Can you become immune to COVID-19 by finding a hair in a Bible. Is the president of South Korea supporting a mask cartel comprised of his cronies. Dive into the first installment of our new series, the Infodemic Monitor, which tracks and dismisses online coronavirus whoppers.
CV05. Economics: Incident and Emergency Management Market Worth $156.1 Billion by 2025. Great market, fewer jobs. This is good news, bad news. Good: More public interest and funding. Bad: Initially will focus on individuals interested in saving only themselves, not about society. Companies will see the opportunity and lead in to reap the profits, whether qualified or not, with Dunning-Kruger. Profit tends to attract incompetence and those looking for stepping stones, not necessarily dedicated people. Misdirected efforts. Decrease in already limited cooperation and collaboration. Rush to create products and educational materials that are outdated. Possibility of institutionalization and ossification.

CV07. Emergence: Hospitals Improvise to Address COVID-19 PPE Shortage. This conflicts with the self congratulations of FEMA Phasing Out Project Airbridge. Recognizing the PPE supply chain is stabilizing across the nation, the Unified Coordination Group approved phasing out of Project Airbridge and scaling back flights through mid June, with the final flight landing in the United States on or about June 30. Project Airbridge will remain an option to expedite deliveries of medical items should the United States have a future emergent need for critical PPE due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 200609-CV28.
-A. Pandemic Proves Strategic National Stockpile Needs a Revamp, Say Lawmakers, Experts. The task of supplementing state and local supplies of antibiotics, vaccines and other critical drugs and medical products, woefully needs a revamp to help the nation better prepare and respond to public health emergencies like the current COVID-19 pandemic.
CV08. Entertainment, Recreation: Major Incident Declared as People Flock to England's South Coast. On Hottest Day of Year, Thousands Cram onto English Beaches, police around the southern English coastal town of Bournemouth urged people to stay away Thursday as thousands defied coronavirus social distancing rules and flocked to local beaches.

CV12. Personal, Relationships: Quarantine Quarrels and 10 Helpful Hints. Conflict resolution is an imprecise science, as it depends on many variables, including what one ate this morning, and how much sleep one got. We also, know that, even with the precise science of the computer technology, our Wi Fi refuses to get along with our printer. So, we suggest that those of us who are stir crazy at home try to be mindful of the following rules: 1) Accept that everyone eventually irritates everyone else. 2) There are two ways to look at any given conflict: the right way and the other right way. 3) Try deescalation first. 4) Don’t yell, and no, you are not just talking loudly. 5) Take a 30 minute break, rinse and repeat, as needed. 6) Paraphrase what the other person is saying, it will always be wrong, but at least, the other person will know that you are genuinely trying to listen. 7) Don’t forget about the 30 minute break, you may need another one. 8) Try to find some common ground or a compromise. 9) Try to regularly say how much you both love and appreciate each other. 10) Escalate the politeness and civility.

CV15. Death: Heaven Flush with Cash after Trump Administration Sends $1.4 Billion in Stimulus to Dead Americans CV02. What about Hell.
CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: Coronavirus Responses Highlight How Humans Are Hardwired to Dismiss Facts That Don’t Fit Their Worldview. This is more an anecdote, i.e. a narrative, that people are biologically programmed to dismiss what does not fit a narrative. It is difficult to overcome a narrative, but not for strictly biological reasons.
-A. ADDED How a Cognitive Failing Explains Why So Many People Reject the Facts about the Pandemic. Bemoaning uneven individual and state compliance with public health recommendations, top U.S. COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci recently blamed the country’s ineffective pandemic response on an anti science bias. I've noted for a few months now in both media and my own bias that there has been an othering between us (the wise and ethically sound scientists) and them (the ignorant Dunning-Kruger, anti science yet have the truth, immoral but claim to be moral). I suspect this is not an effective way to communicate about a CV vaccine (assuming there ever is one) and protective measures.

Texas Salon Owner’s Case Recalls the Story of Typhoid Mary. The history of the asymptomatic has been a discussion about if they are victims or a villains.
CV23. Polemic, Myphysis: Coronavirus, Nursing and War: Action That Followed National Conflict Can Help Guide the UK Now. Wars and pandemics reveal the fault lines in our society. As with the first world war, the demands made on citizens during WWII prompted consideration of the kind of society that should be constructed afterwards. Many of the emergency arrangements became permanent fixtures in the postwar welfare state.
CV24. Norms: Wearing a Mask Is a Sign of Mutual Respect During the Coronavirus Pandemic. You wear a mask to protect others, and others wear a mask to protect you. Wearing a mask is a true sign of respect for others; it is not an impingement on one’s freedom as many have claimed. Wearing a mask tells the person you pass on the street, share an aisle with in the supermarket, or march along side at a peaceful protest, that you respect them as a fellow human. 89% of Americans Wear Masks in Public as the Coronavirus Pandemic Persists. Which, if one ignores superspreading events, could be use as proof masks don’t work.
CV26. Environment, One Health: Pandemics Result from Destruction of Nature, Say UN and WHO. Unsustainable wildlife trade as well as the devastation of forests and other wild places were still the driving forces behind the increasing number of diseases leaping from wildlife to humans
CV31. Futuring: Demographics Change as the Coronavirus Hits Polk County, Fla. Over the past few weeks, cases surged in younger age groups. The Florida Department of Health announced a record daily total of 185 new cases reported Sunday for Polk County; 112 of them were residents age 40 or younger. This shift has been seen globally and is a normal pattern. It is usual for the very young and elderly to fall first in a disease outbreak. CV seems different in that the young initially were less vulnerable, but then disease outbreaks have been doing novel things for the past couple of decades, such as with the 2009H1N1, where the younger were more vulnerable.
-A. Florida may be an good natural experiment with it attractions of younger, people who may believe they are not susceptible to CV, and the state’s official denial of CV.

CV32. Anthromes: Rethinking the House as a Public Health Technology of Preparedness. The ‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’ slogan recycles an oft told story about the house – that it is a cocoon, a space of nurturance, the ultimate metaphor of kinship itself. The house is made to work as an enclosure, a domain of life carved out, a safe haven constructed in opposition to the state. A black box of private life. A protective bubble. Yet houses are not inherently safe and protective places.
-A. The imaginary segregation of the house from the outside world, and the dichotomies that accompany it (inside/outside, pure/polluted, privacy/surveillance, domestic/political), are attractive. As a technology of preparedness in times of pandemic, houses are readily available as hermetic borders, sites of personal freedom and mutual obligation. However, the language of “home” brushes aside a longstanding academic tradition in public health research, where home (as housing) has been readily conceptualised as a space of exposure, rather than one of safety.
CV33. Legal: Have You Seen this Face Mask Exemption Card. It's Fake, Department of Justice Says. The cards declare that the holder is exempt from mask requirements, falsely citing both the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Department of Justice. The Face Mask Exempt Card Con and the Group Behind It CV11.
-A. ADDED Don't Fall for These 3 Myths about Face Masks. 1) Medical conditions prevent many people from wearing a mask in public. 2) Masks cut off your oxygen to the point that they make you sick. 3) Wearing a mask eliminates the need for social distancing. + Trevor Noah Rips Mask Truthers as Coronavirus Cases Spike.
