PDN Introduction.

CV01. Protection: U.S. Pharmacies Attract New Flu Shot Customers as Coronavirus Surges. It is possible that there will be a shortage of flu shots. In my own area ^CV12 there are no longer any flu shots available for those over 60.

CV05. Economics: Australia's Star Vaccine Maker Not Immune to Virus Anxiety. The coronavirus pandemic has lifted CSL Ltd’s investment profile, virus anxieties are also hitting its most lucrative business: taking blood from donors and converting it into medical treatment.

            -CV05.1. A Pandemic Sticker Shock: Used Car Prices Are Through the Roof. Add used car values to the list of things turned topsy turvy in 2020. Prices for used cars, trucks and SUVs rose remarkably all summer long as demand far outstripped supply.

CV17. Uncertainty, Contradictions: Why Optimism Can Be Dangerous During a Pandemic. For those of us who insist on seeing the glass half full, even when the miserable brigade point out that it’s also half empty, Covid-19 poses particular challenges.

            -A. In regular times, our relentless optimism wins us friends and provides us with a host of benefits including higher levels of wellbeing, increased resilience and better health. Normally, the only downsides relate to minor setbacks when things don’t turn out the way we would like and the mild irritation of grumpy colleagues when we’re chirpy at work.

            -B. Now, things are very different. During a pandemic, we need to act as though it’s likely we will get Covid-19 in order to keep ourselves safe and avoid spreading the disease to others. So what is an optimist to do.

CV19. Technosphere: Grave Counting Satellite Images Seek to Track Yemen's Covid Death Toll ^CV15.

CV21. Syndemic, Concurrent Disasters: Syndemic Responses to Covid-19 Should Include an Ecological Dimension. Covid-19 should be addressed as a syndemic of biological and social interactions. Studies have found that widespread anthropogenic ecosystem degradation has played a crucial role in explaining why the rate of emergence of zoonoses has been increasing over the past 40 years. For example, deforestation, intensified agriculture and livestock production, and climate change have been linked to the emergence of Ebola virus, HIV, Nipah virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and Zika virus. Unless reversed, the anthropogenic destruction of habitats will probably lead to the continued emergence of new zoonoses from the estimated 700 000 other unidentified viruses with zoonotic potential. ^CV27.

Fear of dying from the Coronavirus is finally get people around to doing what many Mexicans had put off until the pandemic struck – making a will. While Mexicans happily accept a gift of a sugar skull with their name on it for the Day of the Dead celebration, they are less comfortable talking about matters of inheritance when it comes to discussions of death. ^CV15. 201021-CV33.

CV17. Uncertainty, Contradictions: Would Most People Say No to a Covid-19 Vaccine. Headline in the Dallas Morning News clearly states that "Most say no to Covid-19 vaccine," the actual story says that: 49% are likely to take a Covid-19 vaccine, 27% are unlikely to take it, 23% are undecided - they are neither likely nor unlikely.

CV23. Polemic, Myphysis: Military to Play Logistics Only Role in Covid-19 Vaccine Effort ^CV28. U.S. military personnel won't be administering any Covid-19 vaccines to the American people once the vaccines are approved for use, probably to avoid the implication of forced vaccination. The U.S. military will lend it's experienced hand in logistics to ensure the vaccine is available across the nation. That effort involves things such as needles, syringes, swabs, adhesive bandages, dry ice and trucks. This logistical support will certainly help but even combined with private and other logistics will be insufficient to cover the whole country quickly, and will be easily thwarted by resistance. There is also the assumption that DoD and National Guard will have the personnel to provide logistical support as well facilities, Texas Governor Requests Use of El Paso Area Military Hospital for non Covid-19 Patients as Cases Surge.

            -A. ADDED Why Will the U.S. Military Deliver Vaccines to States. The only reason I can come up with is that it sounds neat and sexy to say the United States military will deliver the vaccines. There is far more that aircraft for vaccine medical logistics, but the point is taken that the military is supporting not performing the vaccinations.

            CV23.1. Hospitals Brace for More Cyberattacks as Coronavirus Cases Rise. 200928-CV23. 

            -A. ADDED With 500,000 cases in the last week that could become quite a problem, and will cover more than hospitals, but will include insurance, dispatch, devices, finance, and that does not include the disinformation campaigns and paranoia.

Parademic Database Week Notes Ending 201025 Inductive

CV Pandemic Daily Notes 201019, 201020, 201021, 201022, 201023, 201024, 201025

Read This First, Glossary

-1. Inductive, 2. Environmental Change Evolution, 3. Elite Citadels

-1. Due to the multiple aspects of parademic the method used for analysis tends to be Inductive, involving wholism (whole of society =2=), free association, taking a wide range of observations from open sources (not always clearly connected) to develop generalizations, concepts and hypothesis. The more commonly known Deductive method tend to be compartmented, specialized, and narrow in scope to be tested with the intent of achieving the same result.

            -A. The separation between Inductive and Deductive is a false division. Both can use the scientific method, but also use SLAI RIDE (story making), and both tend to use aspects of the other. The difference is not always discernable, which is why people (scientific, lay, myth makers) can come to different conclusions with the same observations and data. This use of the same tool also makes it difficult for one perspective to sway the opposing perspective that it is in error, and continue to maintain their interpretation.

            -B. In today’s world scientific Inductive collection, analysis and synthesis is possible because information can be digitized. One merely needs a search string (and variations of the string, to include variations in spelling) to locate information related to a topic. The order of reports, collection, conclusions, when occurred and the category placed under no longer is a hindrance to assembling material into meaningful patterns rather that apophenia.

            -C. Technically PDN and PDWN and not databases where information can be selected within given parameters and compared or contrasted to other data. The term Listibase (combination of listicle and database) is used. Original information can be found, but more analysis is required to identify more questions on what is not answered – for example what happened before the incident and/or event, and what happened afterwards – and then being able to search the Internet or other information sources (preferably people with direct knowledge, or gathered from those source) for more materials. MORE: Nov 2022 A Guide to Archiving on the Internet and why having records is essential for fact checkers. Parademic has noted before that a weakness to digital collection methods is that the information can be changed or deleted.

            -D. With Induction an indicator that one is near having sufficient information is when the information is contradictory, quite different from Deduction where consistent outcomes are desired.

            -E. The synthesis of Inductive information into a useable product can be very time consuming, and its application of following biocalamities and parademics requires a wide and multidisciplined practice of collection, analysis and synthesis of to have any hope of being able to offer interpretations that can shape informed policy and decisions that suit the current circumstances. Circumstances can change rapidly, or persist in spite of a seminal change. The same place, same bioagent, same community, but happening the following day can be very different with just a small addition or subtraction, or can remain the same despite changes of place, bioagent and in the community.

-2. To Adapt to a Changing Environment 400,000 Years Ago, Early Humans Developed New Tools and Behaviors. Extreme environmental changes rocked the East African Rift Valley. Fresh water periodically dried up, and vast grasslands faded away – taking with them the large grazing animals hunted by early humans. But ecological instability didn’t drive people out of the region or into extinction. Instead, it sparked them to adapt with major leaps forward in their behavior and culture. Early humans developed more sophisticated stone tools and weapons, expanded trade networks, and even evidenced the growth of symbolic communication. Turbulent Environment Set the Stage for Leaps in Human Evolution and Technology 320,000 Years Ago.

            -A. This supports the narrative that mankind will survive the current biocalamaties as they accelerate. Maybe so, except these humans were not homo sap who would not appear for another 100,000 years in the fossil record, the changes were not anthropogenic, the environmental change was not global or as rapid as current changes, disease was not what was being adapted to, and these early homo lived in small bands of 10 to 50 and literally walked everywhere. The counternarrative is The World Is Woefully Unprepared for Climate Driven Natural Disasters.

-3. Climate Protected Citadels, Virtual Worlds Only for the Privileged: Is this the Future of Inequality. Imagine visiting the Europe of 2048. The cities are strangely silent. Desperate communities in Paris, London and Berlin struggle in the shadow of hollowed out buildings. The once popular coastal resorts have also been abandoned, as rises in sea level have taken their toll. Heading out to rural areas, you find where the fortunate few have gone: shining citadels, high tech gated communities designed to protect residents from the ravages of climate change and ongoing pandemics.

PDN Introduction.

CV09. Arts, Creativity: Drawing on Greek Myths as Inspiration for Illustrating Life During the Pandemic.

CV16. Consequences, Social Change: The Philippines Has a Policy Against Home Births. It's Not Playing Well in a Pandemic.

CV17. Uncertainty, Contradictions: White House Chief of Staff: We Are Not Going to Control the Pandemic. This is not in line the the main thrust of White House narratives ^{CV18 CV20}, 201023-CV04.

            -A. ADDED We’re Not Going to Control the Pandemic: White House Chief’s Comments Undermine Trump’s Message. Biden: Meadows Coronavirus Remark a 'Candid Acknowledgement' of Trump Strategy 'To Wave the White Flag'. Murphy Says US Would Be 'Better Off' If Trump Admin 'Did Nothing' on Coronavirus. The Trump Administration Has Surrendered to the Pandemic.

            -B. ADDED Meadows Doubles down on White House Pandemic Response: We're Not Going to Control It, "We're going to defeat the virus; we're not going to control it", not sure how to defeat (annihilate) something without controlling it, this may have been the intended message from the start but indicate that WH is not communicating ^CV20 with itself (possible artefact of chaos within the WH as per the president’s style), and its language is drifting further from US English. Gaffes Put Spotlight on Meadows at Tough Time for Trump. US Health Official Says Pandemic Clearly Can Be Controlled. Trump Breaks with Meadows, Says He Hasn’t Given up on Controlling Virus. Why Mixed Messaging Can Erode Trust in Institutions.

CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: Why Trump's Latest Conspiracy Theory Can't Stick, he claimed the media would no longer report on the pandemic after Election Day. He implied that news organizations are trying to drum up fear about the pandemic to get former Vice President Joe Biden elected. He may be confusing the politically motivated fear mongering about Ebola which stopped after 2014 elections, How American Politicians Are Fear Mongering Their Way to Success at the Polls [Meme].

            -A. ADDED Trump’s Closing Argument Before the Election Is Covid-19 Is a Media Conspiracy. It’s Killed 225,000 in the US. Trump Claims the Worsening U.S. Coronavirus Outbreak Is a Fake News Media Conspiracy Even as Hospitalizations Rise.

            -*B. MORE: Trump Predicted ‘Covid, Covid, Covid’ Would End after the Election. It's Worse than Ever. Clip of Ted Cruz Saying Democrats Would Say Covid 'Magically Better' Week after Biden Wins Resurfaces. Did Ted Cruz Say Democrats Would Lift Covid Restrictions a Week after the Election, the senator from Texas was spectacularly wrong in his guarantee about what would happen immediately after the 2020 election. 200618-CV08A, <CONT 200301-200112-2¶>6E.

            -C. POST COLLECTIO: The GOP did use Ebola fear mongering to sway the 2016 election, and that fear mongering did disappear immediately after the November elections. Perhaps their belief that CV was being used the same way and is not an actual threat was the origin of these statements and influenced behavior by supporters of this agenda. | The prediction that CV would drop from the media after the election did not happen, however there is politically shifting of blame to Biden.

CV23. Polemic, Myphysis: Germany’s Infectious Disease Institute Targeted in Arson Attempt, Police Say. Several assailants attacked Germany’s Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases with incendiary devices overnight, causing mild damage to the building. What is of more interest is that most of the articles that had this headline in search engines went to very different stories. Unknown why but one possibility is to suppress the story to not encourage more such attacks. 201010-CV32 -A.

            -A. Germany: Thousands Protest Against Covid-19 Rules in Berlin, which has one of the nation's highest infection rates, has seen repeated anti coronavirus protests. The rally was timed to coincide with the opening of a major health conference. 201010-CV32 -A. Germany: Coronavirus Protests Increasing Anti Semitism. Did Millions of Anti Maskers and QAnon Supporters March in Germany. Germany's Virus Response Won Plaudits. But Protests over Vaccines and Masks Show It's a Victim of its Own Success. 200828-CV01B. MORE: Berlin Police Forcefully Disperse Protest over Virus Rules.

            -B. MORE: The Arsonist Analogy, Antivaxxers and Covid-19 Variants ^CV33. Revenge seeking arsonists set fires in response to a perceived wrong doing. It may have occurred months or even years before the arsonist initiates the fire setting activity, often targeting institutions and society. Extremist motivated arsonists are moved by a cause – usually social, political, or religious – and want their group to be recognized as responsible. Targets reflect the focus of the extremists’ wrath. Examples include abortion clinics 200720-CV03B 201215-CV33.1 -A, animal laboratories, and fur farms. Extremist arsonists resemble the antivaxxers who are now setting communities on “fire”.

CV27. Learning: Are the Risks of Reopening Schools Exaggerated. Same issue as 201023-CV25. A crash/ outbreak is unlikely, but when it does happen will be a large event, one that attracts media attention. Unlike plane crashes that are sudden and spectacular and school outbreak is slow and can last for weeks as it expands. Same applies to in person religious gatherings, weddings, Trump rallies ADDED=2=. Everything is fine until it isn’t. In addition, switching between remote learning and in person learning is disruptive to education, even it an outbreak does not occur. Not ideal but best solution is when there are means to protect and provide immunity is probably the time to switch back to class rooms, though eventually that will die out for the same reasons that the advantages of remote work are proving to outweigh in office.

PDN Introduction.

CV04. Politics: North Korea Says China Dust Could Spread Covid-19, Warns People to Stay Inside. Unusual for N Korea to make such a claim against China. Possibly there is already widespread CV and this gives an a priori explanation for a sudden outbreak, and will allow N Korea to accept help.

CV05. Economics: The Pandemic Is Plunging Millions Back into Extreme Poverty. Not only were we unprepared for a pandemic, but we were also unprepared for the non disease consequences of a pandemic. The revelation that the metrics used to measure a strong economy will probably not be corrected right away. So much related to money are imaginaries and social constructs/ fictions, that identifying all the assumptions and flaws that don’t consider reality will take years to identify, and more years to overcome resistance to create something better.

CV07. Emergence: With Our Lady of Guadalupe, a California Priest Brings Hope to Farmworkers amid Covid-19. A farmworker who has worked in the fields of California for five years, would normally go to church pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe =2= =3=, but hasn’t been able to do so since many churches closed down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

            -A. She and other farmworkers in Moorpark were able to reconnect with the Virgin of Guadalupe Friday thanks to Father Juan Ochoa, from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He wanted to thank farmworkers for the nonstop labor they’ve been doing during the pandemic. He brought an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe blessed by late Pope John Paul II and gifted to the Archdiocese two decades ago. The Virgin of Guadalupe paraded the fields of Moorpark alongside mariachis singing “Madre Mía De Guadalupe” and another religious image depicting San Juan Diego, the first Catholic Indigenous saint from the Americas. We bring these images outside the churches to thank these farmers who are feeding us. ^CV05A↑. [Photo].

CV09. Arts, Creativity: Incredible and Horrifying: Growing DC Art Exhibit Represents Lives Lost to Covid-19.

CV17. Uncertainty, Contradictions: Claims That Flu Cases Are Used to Inflate Covid-19 Case Counts Are Misleading, Based on Inaccurate Numbers. Claim: “Flu cases down by 95%” between 2019 and 2020 for the weeks 40 to 41; flu is being diagnosed as Covid-19, leading to fewer flu cases being recorded. Unsupported: Health authorities have observed lower than usual flu activity in October 2020, which is generally the month in which flu season begins. The widespread adoption of public health measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19, such as wearing masks and physical distancing, are likely to have contributed in part to the lower flu activity observed this year as compared to previous years. However, scientists have also cautioned that preparing for the flu season is still important, due to the uncertainty posed by the novelty of the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the flu season has only just begun at the time of this review’s publication, hence it is premature to conclude that flu cases have indeed decreased compared to last year.

CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: Covid-19 from Frozen Fish: Fascinoma*^A or Serious Risk. Do stories like this could ignite widespread fears of frozen food, and if so how to manage the story to minimize that risk. It’s a reasonable question. A June story about coronavirus on chopping boards used for imported salmon at a Beijing wholesale food market sparked fears across the country. Restaurants are still profoundly affected by the scare.

            -*A. Fascinoma: Medical slang for a fascinating case, usually involving a rare disease. When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don't expect to see a zebra.

CV27. Learning: Mom Code: Parents Reportedly Avoid Testing Kids to Keep Utah Covid-19 Numbers Artificially Low. The unwritten agreement to avoid testing their children for Covid-19 in an effort to keep schools open. ^CV12.

            -A. MORE: Parents in a Utah School District Say There's a 'Mom Code' in Which Mothers Are Urging Others Against Testing Their Children Tested for Covid-19.

CV28. Logistics: Covid-19 Drug Shortages – and the Solutions. A new report lays out not only how the US drug supply chain has been vulnerable for years, but how those vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The report points out that 29 (72.5 percent) of the 40 critical drugs for Covid-19 patients are experiencing shortages.

CV29. Responsibility, Decision Making: Some Doctors Fighting the Pandemic Now Have Another Thing to Worry About. A proposed rule could make it more difficult to renew J-1 exchange visitor visas, which allow doctors to live temporarily in the US while they study or receive training.

CV01. Protection: Mouthwashes, Oral Rinses May Inactivate Human Coronaviruses. Certain oral antiseptics and mouthwashes may have the ability to inactivate human coronaviruses, according to a new study. The results indicate that some of these products might be useful for reducing the viral load, or amount of virus, in the mouth after infection and may help to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

CV14. Uncategorized, Miscellaneous: Austria Prints a Postage Stamp to Remember Covid-19 By, on Toilet Paper, and that people can also use for social distancing.

            -A. POST COLLECTIO: For American’s toilet paper would seem too flimsy to use for potage and would have a probable aversion to licking the back to get the glue to adhere to an envelope. Anyone who has traveled to Europe can attest that some toilet papers there are not soft and absorbate, can be very durable and rough.

CV16. Consequences, Social Change: Birthrates, Marriage, Gender Roles Will Change Dramatically in Post Pandemic World. Though the first three are likely it will be a long time before there is such a thing as a post pandemic world, possibly periods of dormancy but an end of pandemics is unlikely.

For example, a new statistical study has discovered that large pandemics are much more common than you might expect. In fact, the team found that a pandemic with a similar level of impact to Covid-19 has around a 2 percent probability of occurring each year.

PDN Introduction.

CV05. Economics: Housing Boom: Sales of Million Dollar Homes Double. The pandemic is driving a major boom in the housing market that's records and exposing a very uneven economic recovery between the haves and the have nots. Millions of people are working from home while juggling their kids' remote schooling. Many who can afford to are buying bigger houses. If the trend continues, the country will see a further "divergence in society where you have the haves, with homeownership gaining their equity, and those people who would like to become homeowners continually being frustrated, unable to reach that goal of owning a home. 201011-CV32, 200630-CV18.

            -A. MORE: Americans Are Losing Confidence in the Housing Market as Covid-19 Pandemic Rages On. The housing market was variable, with some areas that were perceived as relatively safe becoming more expensive, while other areas tumbled down.

CV06. Linguistics: Have noted that Covid-19 is gradually disappearing as a word, replaced with Covid or Coronavirus. This would seem to violate Zipf’s law, except that the written sources I see may have a two stroke macro, so the length of the word no longer matters, while is continued frequency of use demands a bit of variety to avoid being dismissed. The term Chinese Virus appears to be idiosyncratic, and a dog whistle for a small minority, rarely used in public media.

CV13. Outliers: Communities with Covid-19 Clusters to Get Asterisk on Health Reports. The weekly town risk map will identify if a municipality's positive cases have been significantly impacted by a clearly identified cluster.

            -A. Clusters are an important concept in epidemiology and parademic. The concern that an isolated cluster may skew a whole community as being red or not is legitimate, but misses the point. The infections, whether a pathogen or ideology had to enter what became the cluster from somewhere at some time, and it likely moved beyond the cluster before the cluster was identified and contact tracing completed. Even if the cluster is isolated before hand, and quarantined immediately, there has to be sufficient time to verify that is has been contained. Officials Warn Families of Covid-19 Carpool Clusters.

CV24. Norms: The Coronavirus Disproportionally Putting Women Out of Work. More than 1 in 10 parents of young children in New Jersey said they quit their jobs to help with childcare since the pandemic began, with women six times more impacted than men, according to a poll released last month. This is expected with men still earning more money than women, and the general incompetence of males in running households and parenting.
