PDN Introduction.
CV01. Protection: Personal COVID-9 Decisions CV29. The solution to the COVID-19 crisis we are currently in, revolves around individual actions that will impact us personally and then collectively as a society. In your own personal planning, make wise choices. Delay the desire of your hearts for future years of fun, family, friends and memories.
CV01.1. Does Your Face Mask Protect You or Other People. We tell our children to cover their mouths when they cough, so when we cannot predict who may or may not have COVID-19, it makes sense to wear a face covering in public. But not all face coverings are the same. They can be split into two broad categories: respirator masks designed primarily to protect the wearer and cloth face coverings that could be considered to act more as breath diverting devices.
-A. You Need to Stop Using One Type of Popular Coronavirus Face Mask Right Away. Besides N95s with valves, any mask with a valve that does not have a N95 filter is risky. This is already known, medical grade masks with valves have a filter and hopefully are respirators, not just breath diverter. The face mask Trump wore when he went to Walter Reed has the Seal of the President, not a valve. 200713-CV01.1A. Coronavirus: Government’s New Messaging on Face Coverings Criticised for Promoting Useless Masks.
ADDED Canadian Made Mask Proven to Be First to Deactivate COVID-19.
-B. Guess Why These Infected Hair Stylists Didn’t Pass Coronavirus to Any of Their Clients. A couple of months ago, two hairstylists in Missouri began noticing symptoms of the virus and got themselves tested. They proceeded to then cut almost 140 peoples’ hair, before getting back their positive test results. Despite potentially exposing all those customers to the virus, no one ended up contracting it. Officials are convinced it’s because everyone, employees and customers alike, was wearing a face mask. Woman Was Obviously in Middle of Haircut When California Locked down Again CV02.
CV02. Humor: Is it OK to Make Fun of People Who Get Sick after Publicly Stating They’re Not Wearing a Mask.
CV06. Linguistics: Why “Airborne” Is Such a Contentious Way to Describe How Covid-19 Spreads.
CV09. Arts, Creativity: Banksy's Latest Artwork on the Coronavirus Removed from London Underground. Actually if they had removed the wall panel and window, they could have sold it for millions.
CV10. Spirituality, Philosophy: Conversations: A Philosopher’s Perspective on Facing Brain Cancer in the Time of Covid-19, you can view the video even if you can’t get through the paywall.
CV11. Exploitation: Teens Are Dressing up as Mask Wearing Grandmas to Score Alcohol.
CV12. Personal, Relationships: My wife is currently going cross country to help one of her son’s move back east for a new job. Talking to her last night she was complaining the stores that have “Masks Mandatory” signs up are not only not enforcing it with customers*, but the employees themselves are not wearing masks.
-*A. Starbucks to Require Face Masks for Customers CV02, this was not the sandwich shop. We already agreed she would not stop in any hotspot areas 200704-CV19.1, and would go nowhere near Michigan. Michigan Man Refused Service for Not Wearing Mask Stabs Customer, Is Fatally Shot by Deputy. Virus Is No Brake on July 4 Lake Party in SW Michigan, Hundreds of People Celebrated the July 4 Weekend at a Michigan Lake. Now Some Have Covid-19. 200602-CV01, 200505-CV13.
-B. Last night they decided on a sandwich shop that we have here where the employees wear masks and gloves and studiously follow sanitation rules. After three different places where neither customers and those who make the sandwiches wore masks or gloves, they got packaged food for dinner. They are staying at places guaranteed to be following cleaning guidelines. Even so they have brought their own pillows, sheets, and douse the room down in Lysol.
-C. They have not been harassed for wearing masks, wear gloves and use hand sanitizer. That may be because one of her other kid’s is traveling with them. He is 6'8", works as a blacksmith, wears a heavy leather motorcycle jacket (even in hot muggy weather), looks like a Viking, and the mask he wears has a very toothsome snarl on it.
CV15. Death: People Have Died from the Coronavirus, Contrary to Article Claiming to Report Pathologist’s Revelations on Covid-19. CLAIM: No one has died from the Coronavirus that is not in excess of normal death rates. VERDICT: Inaccurate.
CV17. Uncertainty, Contradictions: When people cannot accept the explanation for an event or situation, they look for a answer that makes more sense to them. This search finds nonsense that increases uncertainty, and a feeling that there are contradictions that make it reasonable to dismiss facts. We then end up with, A Debate over 5G Shows How Misinformation Has Made its Way to the Highest Levels of Government. It is not common for a parliamentary inquiry to have to rebut the dodgy scientific claims it receives in the form of public submissions.
-A. How Disinformation Campaigns Targeted Governments amid National Protests CV11. An organized disinformation campaign encouraged thousands to believe that there had been a blackout in Washington, D.C., perhaps encouraging more criminal activity and looting; local Facebook groups throughout the country saw unsubstantiated rumors that Antifa activists were being bussed into their communities, inspiring fear; networks of right wing groups were found to be operating left wing accounts in an apparent bid to encourage violence and mayhem. One of the most ideal times to conduct a disinformation campaign is during the uncertainty of a disaster. Even better when it is apparently not being handled well, and the disaster is not a sudden and then its over event, but a long enduring and spreading one. The CV pandemic and parademic suit that bill, especially with the success of previous disinformation campaigns to lay the ground work for, and clear incompetence by decision makers =2= =3= that is unclear to people who are uncertain what to believe, \fs24cf2 trust, and depend on for help and valid information.
CV20. Communication: Readers Respond on Covid-19 Coverage: Tips from Scholars to Journalists (and Vice Versa). Many readers of Journalist’s Resource fall into one of two camps: hardworking journalists and hardworking academics. Recently we posed two questions in our weekly newsletter and on Twitter: 1) Have you noticed any common mistakes or missteps in news stories about scientific research during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2) What would you like academic researchers to understand about the job of a journalist – especially in the wake of a pandemic.

If China does have a successful vaccine that would give them leverage for concessions from the Philippines, Metro Hospitals Reach Full Capacity for Covid Patients, a softer target than Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, all of which would involve US interests.
-A. Philippines to Use Police in House to House Searches for Covid-19 Cases. Historically this results in a temporary lowering of cases, more hiding of new cases, and then a big surge in new cases. Confusion Stirs amid Conflicting Statements on House to House Campaign.
CV23.1. The vaccine race =2=$ seems to be neck and neck in a dead heat (OK, I admit that double meaning is in poor taste). First Covid-19 Vaccine Tested in US Poised for Final Testing. However: With the problem that immunity wanes quickly; The possibility of need a new vaccine every few months as CV adapts; That one can be reinfected by the same strain; Or infected by multiple strains and other infectious diseases; and CV being endemic – a vaccine that only works for a few months against a specific strain may complicate identifying new strains, them making, testing, and the safety of a new prophylactic vaccine more of a challenge. Last, if asymptomatic individual can infect others with CV, that could mean a CV vaccine could protect the individual from live CV – though they may end up with an auto immune disease from a boosted immune system, which explains lingering symptoms =2= and why immunity may not last long – which creates the possibility that the vaccine will be like an inoculation with the possibility of infecting others. | I assume that these are issues being worked on by manufactures, but the pressure of being first may not allow testing of those possibilities. | Antivax may get their wish of a vaccine that actually causes harm, which could mean even more people may skip even more vaccines, creating a global syndemic CV21.

CV25. Movement: At Least 26 Flights Have Arrived in Canada with Covid-19 Cases in Last Two Weeks. Police Notified of 21,422 Cases Where Travellers to Canada May Have Broken Quarantine Rules. Two Floridians Fined for Violating the Quarantine Act in Northeastern Ontario.
-A. China Media Calls Coronavirus a U.S. Epidemic, Warns of Risk to World. [Chart, Cartoon]. A Minnesota Couple Were Fined $1,000 Each for Violating Canada's Mandatory Quarantine Order. [Cartoon]. We May Have Reached the Point in the Covid-19 Crisis Where Canadians Fear Incoming Americans More than They Fear the Virus Itself.

As many as 27 million Americans may have lost their employer sponsored health insurance along with their jobs CV05 during the coronavirus pandemic. Democrats have come up with a plan to prevent that from ever happening again with automatically expanding health coverage during the coronavirus pandemic and all future public health crises. Just in Time for the Second Wave of Coronavirus, No One in America Has Any Health Insurance, statements that are absolute, say everyone, most or many, tend to be erroneous.
