CV02. Humor: In 16 Minutes, Dave Chappelle Beautifully, Incisively Summed up All of 2020 – and Sometimes it Hurt. On the same day the US got a new president, "Saturday Night Live" host Dave Chappelle served up a biting monologue that hit the lowlights of the year, including coronavirus and the rage and tension the country has felt. "I would implore everybody who's celebrating today to remember, it's good to be a humble winner. Remember when I was here four years ago, remember how bad that felt? Remember that half the country right now still feels that way," Chappelle said, referring to his first hosting gig on the show in 2016.
-A. He brought up President Donald Trump's Coronavirus diagnosis, joking that the President had great coverage in his personal health care plan, which provided him with a ride to the hospital in a helicopter, a team of doctors and experimental medications. Chappelle said Trump's special treatment while he was ill was like taking a bag of burgers to a homeless shelter, eating them in front of the homeless and saying, "don't let hunger dictate your life", mimicking the President's infamous tweet after his recovery, when he told Americans not to fear Covid or let it dominate their lives. But, he said, Herman Cain died of Coronavirus and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in intensive care with it. "Where was his secret serum" he asked of Cain's treatment. "That's your leader. Think about that, for four years, that's your leader. What kind of man does that. What kind of man makes sure he's OK, while his friends are fighting for their lives and die. A White man. And I don't mean to put this on the Whites, but I've been Black for a long time, I notice the pattern".
CV05. Economics: How Taiwan Is Beating Covid-19 and Saving its Economy. This may be a cross culture practice that does not work in a different cultural milieu, and may not continue to work in the original setting. Taiwan Records Highest Number of Weekly New Covid-19 Cases since April.
-A. MORE: Taiwan Says China Blocked Deal with BioNTech for Covid-19 Shots. This is in part because China wants the Taiwan market for its Covid vaccine and its continuing efforts to bring Taiwan under its sway. One of the many examples of polemic CV23 to cripple another countries health, an indirect biowarfare, disinformation operations and physical attacks on medical infrastructure.
CV08. Entertainment, Recreation: Jurassic World: Dominion Used a Whopping 40,000 Covid-19 Tests During its Lengthy Production. In some places, it can still be tricky to get a test for Covid-19 done in a timely manner, forcing you to wait days for results. But not so on the set of Jurassic World: Dominion, which just wrapped a mammoth 18 month production.
CV13. Outliers: A Televangelist Who Referred to the Coronavirus as a Privilege Has Died from It. Obviously if this person was successful in attracting viewers they have many followers. However, if this particular magical worldview continues it is likely to become an even more fringe position through attrition.

CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: The Number of Covid-19 Deaths over the Entire Pandemic Is Higher in the U.S. than Europe, Even When Controlling for Population Size. Cherry picking: Instead of reporting data from the entire time period of the pandemic, the article only uses statistics from September and October 2020, when cases in Europe began to spike, to claim that the U.S. has outdone Europe in controlling the spread of Covid-19. CV04 CV15 CV30.
-A. Likely a politically motivated narrative to support negative parademic policy of not locking down, no masks, reopening venues that lead to super spreader events, that foreigners are the source of disease, that the election is illegitimate (unless Trump had won), that CV is not important and will be cured soon.
-B. A smaller version of the same theme is when Sweden was used as an example that the public health policies to control CV do not need to be draconian. 201027-CV29.
