CV05. Economics: Resale Is Thriving in the Pandemic. Online consignment platforms and secondhand retailers had already been seeing promising signs in the last few years. Many consumers have already taken to shopping secondhand for sustainable reasons long before 2020. Then there’s the fact that secondhand is typically cheaper, and with the pandemic resulting in millions of people losing their jobs, this is no small factor. Consumers will also be thinking more about the long term value, which may actually result in more luxury goods spending as a form of investment. All the resale companies we spoke to for this story agree that shopping secondhand is not a trend that will go away anytime soon.
CV05.1. Covid-19 Long Term Toll Signals Billions in Healthcare Costs Ahead. With mounting evidence that some COVID-19 survivors face months, or possibly years, of debilitating complications, healthcare experts are beginning to study possible long term costs. More than 17 million people have been infected by the new coronavirus worldwide, about a quarter of them in the United States. 200719-CV07 et al.
-A. Healthcare experts say it will be years before the costs for those who have recovered can be fully calculated, not unlike the slow recognition of HIV, or the health impacts to first responders of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. They stem from COVID-19’s toll on multiple organs, including heart, lung and kidney damage that will likely require costly care, such as regular scans and ultrasounds, as well as neurological deficits that are not yet fully understood.

CV10. Spirituality, Philosophy: What Literature Can Tell Us about People’s Struggle with Their Faith During a Pandemic CV16 CV17 CV18. A recent poll found that religious faith had deepened for a quarter of Americans because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some might indeed take solace in religion at a time of uncertainty, such as a pandemic, but Pandemics in Literature suggest that this is not always the case: Faith may deepen for some, while others may reject or abandon it altogether.

-A. Risk Society the manner in which society organizes in response to risk, parademic being for a specific type of risk. Risk Society, a risk society produces at the same time anxiety and insecurity, and expectations and chances. Ulrich Beck Has Died. His Powerful Concept of ‘Risk Society’ Is Relevant as Never Before. #Book Brief Book Review – Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity [Cover].
CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: This Wave of Anti China Feeling Masks the West's Own Covid-19 Failures. Anti Sino was probably to provide an initial target to blame, but then become a way to distract from mistakes made. If it turns out that Wuhan China was not the origin of CV, then there will be even more conflicting narratives, distrust and conspiracy theories.
-A. ADDED It is not unusual for people to confess to crimes they did not commit, or claim to be eye witnesses to what they did not witness, possibly to unrelated benefits. It is also not unusual for those who have a vested interest in a narrative that is supported by the statements to believe these people. Whistleblower Makes the Wildest Claim Yet about the Coronavirus Origin in China. Whistleblower Says She Has Evidence China Has Been Lying about the Coronavirus. The counter narrative makes it difficult to determine fact, the main question being raised with the long term conspiracy theory of bioweapons and the White House tendency to make false claims.

CV21. Syndemic, Concurrent Disasters: What's Your Plan for Storing Vaccines During an Emergency. In addition to being alerted to random problems that come up, you want to be well prepared for any severe weather, natural disasters, and anything else that might lead to prolonged power outages CV28↓. Fortunately we have not seen intentional physical destruction of vaccines and distribution points yet, but given trends =2= CV23 that is becoming increasingly likely.
-A. Though stores of polio vaccine were not directly targeted The Vaccine Riots and the Difficulty of Modernization in Rio de Janeiro may be influencing background the current situation of CV and Brazil CV22, as well as the historical beginnings of the favela’s that are public health concern.

ADDED Eighth Brazilian Cabinet Minister Tests Positive for Coronavirus, based on the assumption that the wealthy and heads of government are the most protected, this is not a good sign.
-CV21.1. The Biggest Monster Is Spreading. And It’s Not the Coronavirus. It begins with a mild fever and malaise, followed by a painful cough and shortness of breath. The infection prospers in crowds, spreading to people in close reach. Containing an outbreak requires contact tracing, as well as isolation and treatment of the sick for weeks or months. This insidious disease has touched every part of the globe. It is tuberculosis, the biggest infectious disease killer worldwide, claiming 1.5 million lives each year.

CV33. Legal: Obamacare’s Unexpected Bonus: How the Affordable Care Act Is Helping Middle Aged Americans During the Pandemic. On balance, middle-aged Americans are better off now than before passage of the ACA. Key health metrics improved. Reported levels of depression are down. Smoking has declined. Those who say their health improved over the prior two years rose from 12% to 16%. The number who say their health had deteriorated has diminished. What’s more, their use of hospitals and nursing homes over the period has lessened. Given the high pandemic related mortality rate among residents of nursing homes. CV05.1↑.
CV33.1. Millions of America’s Working Poor May Lose out on Key Anti Poverty Tax Credit Because of the Pandemic CV05. While Congress debates extending unemployment benefits that expired on July 31 and other additional aid, there’s an important program that already exists that could help struggling Americans get through the crisis however long it lasts. Known as the earned income tax credit, or EITC, it provides aid primarily to the working poor. In a typical year, it lifts more than 8.5 million people out of poverty, while improving the health and well being of parents and children.
-A. Some lawmakers are trying to reform the EITC as part of the next coronavirus bailout to ensure it helps more Americans and make it more like a basic income guarantee. We believe doing so would not only ensure low income Americans continue to have access to this vital tax credit during the pandemic, additional changes could also strengthen the program for years to come.
