PDN Introduction.

CV02. Humor: Trevor Noah Hosts “Pandemmys” to Honor Bogus Achievements by Donald Trump & Others During Coronavirus Pandemic ^CV08↓.

CV04. Politics: Democrats Face Quandary on Vaccine Support as Election Nears. Across America, Democrats, independents and even some Republicans do not trust his administration to produce a safe and effective vaccine on such an aggressive timeline. Such hesitancy threatens to exacerbate the public health risk for millions of Americans whenever a vaccine is released.

            -A. With the Nov. 3 election fast approaching, Democratic officials face a delicate political challenge. Should they attack Trump’s vaccine claims too aggressively, Democrats risk further undermining public confidence in a possible lifesaving medicine while looking as though they are rooting against a potential cure. But if they don’t push back, it makes it easier for Trump to use the real or imagined prospect of a vaccine to boost his reelection campaign.

CV08. Entertainment, Recreation: How Chaotic Will 2020’s Virtual Emmys Be. Picture 130 Video Feeds. At Once. The 72^nd annual awards are coming to you live ... from the stars’ homes. Coronavirus Essential Workers Present Awards During the 2020 Emmys: 'I'm Living Through History' ^CV02↑. Virtual 2020 Emmy Awards Will Be Live Event ^CV02.

CV10. Spirituality, Philosophy: How CV will influence philosophy, spirituality, worldview will probably not manifest in any significant way until after CV becomes manageable. It will take a long time to process this bioevent and have change implemented against inertia and just daily mundane trying to stay alive.

            -A. One concept that quickly proved to be incorrect was shared experience – 200730-CV09 -A, 200428-CV18 et al, 200407-CV13 ^CV30↓, 200405-2A, 200405-CV9. Clearly every life form on the planet was having a different experience, to include not having any interaction with the bioevent of CV, or those whose lives improved indirectly. Among the estimated 7.8 billion humans there was a wide range of experiences, and likely the experience changed over time and with geographic movement. CV was an experience in common, but perception, interpretations, explanations, worldviews, location, social roles, made for markedly contradictory empirical experiences.

            -B. Parademic speculates that the shared experience was more a hopeful idea that maybe this global event would lead to more unity at more complex levels than the more homogeneous clusters and community. However some 200,000 years and global diffusion separates humans from having experiences in common, accelerated by civilizations starting some 8,000 years ago. there is far too much based on disunity to encourage unity of efforts and collaborations.

            CV10.1. God Won’t Let Anything Happen to Us. No Masks, Social Distancing at Golden Temple amid Covid.

CV15. Death: Advances In ICU Care Are Saving More Patients Who Have Covid-19. This indicates progress, but the data of how many are being infected is still weak. I have not found reliable data on how many ICU patients become long haulers 200909-CV31, 200813-CV19, with chronic conditions or who are readmitted to ICUs.

            -A. What Are the Long Term Effects of COVID-19. Here’s What Long Haulers May Experience. The Human Cost of the Pandemic May Dwarf Its Death Toll. A Dilemma for Long Haulers: Many Can’t Prove They Ever Had Covid-19. Undocumented with Covid-19: Many Face a Long Recovery, Largely on Their Own. When Children’s Covid-19 Symptoms Won’t Go Away.

            CV15.1. With Flags, Crosses and Photos, Mourning 200,000 Dead in the US. ADDED As U.S. Covid-19 Deaths near 200,000, a Nation Grapples with Grief.

CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: A basic question about Will Covid-19 Vaccines Be Mandatory, is what does “mandatory” CV06 mean. As noted before during disasters there tends to be new words created, that may or may not endure after the crisis. There are also words that change meaning, and have a multiple meaning to the point that even though people are using the same language and words, they are not communicating CV20. Clearly “vaccine” has a wide range of meanings that are polar opposites. Same with mandatory. Some may be mandatory in that one will be forced to do something by evil entities. Mandatory can have a different meaning as in the three themes in the sentence, “It is only mandatory if you wish to live, or avoid life changing chronic conditions to yourself and those you are responsible for, and community minded enough not be a health threat to others who may not have immunity”.

CV19. Technosphere: Pandemic Retools Diplomacy as World Leaders Gather Virtually ^CV05.

CV21. Syndemic, Concurrent Disasters: A Coronavirus Winter: How the U.S. Can Survive the Pandemic. Suboptimal US Response to COVID-19 Despite Robust Capabilities and Resources. Most of the US Is Headed in the Wrong Direction Again with Covid-19 Cases as Deaths near 200,000.

            CV21.1. We Face Deadly Threats That Would Make the Coronavirus Seem Minor.

CV26. Environment, One Health: Environmental Gains During Pandemic Prove Short Lived.

CV30. Methodology: An interesting topic that is outside the means of open source collection is dreams, 200729-CV12 -C, 200427-A-Fatigue, 200409-CV13 ^CV10A↑. Why You're Having Weird Dreams During Coronavirus Outbreak, Dreams in the Time of the Coronavirus: How Have They Changed, and Why, Covid-19 Dreams. Here’s What They Mean, What Pandemic Dreams May Come, many are having nights full of bugs, masks, and natural disasters.

            -A. Perhaps after CV is managed there will be longitudinal research into this topic. There may be a store of data on social media were people report their dreams, or records of dreams by therapists that can be generalized sufficiently to protect patient privacy. No idea if this will be informative or not.

CV31. Futuring: In Israel’s First Hospital to Turn Away Coronavirus Patients, a Stark Warning of Collapse. Overcrowded coronavirus wards and lack of staff trained in treating severe cases edge this hospital in northern Israel closer to a tipping point, and its director stresses lockdown is not the cure. To the general public lockdown might be thought of as a cure ^CV06, but lockdowns only slow propagation. That misunderstanding my be part of the reason for resistance as people can see that it does not fully stop the disease and does not prevent more people from getting CV. ADDED Flooded by Cases, Hospitals in Jerusalem and Ashdod Stop Taking Virus Patients.
