PDN Introduction.
CV02. Humor: People Still Can’t Stop Posting Corona Jokes and Here Are 40 of the Freshest Ones to Make You Laugh Then Cry.
CV06. Linguistics: Fauci Is Unsure What Trump Means by Saying the Country Is “Rounding the Corner” on the Pandemic. Besides being an unfortunate choice of words, whatever is meant most likely it will turn out to be untrue, as most of his CV predications have been. Trump Maintains US 'Rounding the Turn'*A on Coronavirus. 200902-CV28.1.
-*A. Have mentioned before that PDN tends to erase quotation marks in headlines because they are not always direct quotes.
CV08. Entertainment, Recreation: Another Holiday Weekend, Another Coronavirus Surge. Keep an Eye on Tourist Hot Spots. Fauci Says Midwestern States Should Be on Alert this Labor Day. Will Long Labor Day Weekend Mean Another Coronavirus Spike. Covid-19 Cases Rising in 27 States amid Labor Day Concerns. Labor Day Fun as Coronavirus Rages Could Doom the Fall. ADDED Crowds Pack Beaches as California Bakes in Weekend Heat Wave.
CV10. Spirituality, Philosophy: Why Masks Are a Religious Issue. Some anti maskers have claimed that being forced to wear a face covering violates their religious rights. Back in May an Ohio State Rep., publicly rejected mask wearing on the grounds that covering one’s face dishonors God. This view is echoed by some individual faith leaders, with churches flouting requirements that congregants wear masks. Meanwhile, media savvy pastors have put anti mask posts on Facebook that have been viewed millions of times. CV33↓.
-A. A recent study revealed that the rejection of masks is higher in populations that associate with conservative politics and the idea that the United States is a divinely chosen nation. Is it that masks are a religious matter, or is religion being used to suit people’s political agendas. Socially speaking, both things can be true.
-B. COVID-19: The Essential Problem with State/ Faith Relations. Coronavirus Outbreak at Maine Church Prompts Investigation by State CDC. Trump Camp Politicizing Coronavirus Has Deadly Consequences for Followers, United States. 200829-CV16C.
CV14. Uncategorized, Miscellaneous: India's Kite Makers See Sales Fly During Lockdown.
CV16. Consequences, Social Change: Have We Just Stumbled on the Biggest Productivity Increase of the Century. One of the most striking responses to the COVID-19 pandemic has been the sudden, shift of around half the workforce to working at home. 200901-CV32, 200828-CV05 -A, 200827-CV12.1, 200824-CV16 -CV16.1, 200816-CV24.1, 200807-CV19, 200805-CV32, 200724-CV31. Could probably go back further but work from home is a definite topic.
CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: The Stories We Tell. When the stories a society shares are out of tune with its circumstances, they can become self limiting, even a threat to survival. That is our current situation.
CV21. Syndemic, Concurrent Disasters: After Laura, Learning How to Recover from a Hurricane During a Pandemic. Some Areas Damaged by Hurricane Laura See Spikes in Air Pollution =2=.
Amateur Drone to Aid in Natural Disaster Damage Assessment CV07 CV19.
CV28. Logistics: Delivering Super Cooled COVID-19 Vaccine a Daunting Challenge for Some Countries. Getting a coronavirus vaccine from manufacturing sites to parts of the developing world supply will be an immense challenge, given the need to store some vials at temperatures as low as minus 80 Celsius (-112 Fahrenheit).
CV31. Futuring: U.S. Coronavirus Deaths Projected to More than Double to 410,000 by January CV15. This is based on “if nothing changes” projection. It is likely that the associated behaviors will not change 200903-CV04. However, there may be a vaccine out by then that actually works, and a significant percentage of the projected deaths will be among those who refuse to protect themselves, decreasing the pool of potential hosts. On the other hand if there is major civil unrest and genbergenic, the number will be closer to 1,000,000 deaths from CV. The US Coronavirus Death Toll Is Projected to Reach 410,000 in the next 4 Months If Mask Use Wanes.
-A. A Third of Americans Might Refuse a Covid-19 Vaccine. How Screwed Are We, there’s still time to get this right. We don’t even have a Covid-19 vaccine yet and there’s already a trust problem. 200903-CV28.1. Companies Developing Covid-19 Vaccines Planning to Issue Joint Safety Pledge.
CV33. Legal: Teachers Tell Parents in England to Ignore Baseless Letters on Face Masks CV27. Teaching unions have told parents to ignore letters circulating on social media that threaten legal action against schools requiring pupils to wear face masks or use hand sanitiser. Lawyers say the threats contained in the letters are baseless, and that the latest government guidance gives schools the power to require masks to be worn when appropriate. CV10↑.
