CV03. Information: The Way We Use Data Is a Life or Death Matter – from the Refugee Crisis to Covid-19 CV01 CV29 CV30
CV06. Linguistics: Chinese Virus Sign at Doctor's Office Draws Rebuke. The World Health Organization has advised against using geographic locations when naming illnesses, saying it has had unintended*A negative impacts by stigmatizing certain communities. Unfavorable Views of China Reach Historic Highs in Many Countries, Negative Views of Both U.S. and China Abound Across Advanced Economies amid Covid-19. 200803-CV18, 200604-CV22, 200519-CV12E, 200515-CV06.1, <CONT 200315-200112-2¶>3.
-*A. Another example of WHO being neutral again 201112-CV20. There are plenty of examples of people using Chinese Virus and simliar (not a spelling error) language to stigmatize.
-B. There is also the aspect that the original virus from Wuhan has changed as the dominate SARS-COV-2 is from Europe and that is the type that predominates in the US =2=.
CV08. Entertainment, Recreation: Grey's Anatomy Did Covid-19 and I'm Still Exhausted From Watching It. The 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 Premiere Gave Us the Ray of Hope We Have Been Waiting for since Covid19.
CV12. Personal, Relationships: Remote Work Has Built – Rather than Broken – Trust among Colleagues.
CV16. Consequences, Social Change: How We're Adapting to Life in a Pandemic.
CV18. Narrative, Social Reality: Covid Conspiracy Theorists Repeatedly Entering Utah Hospital over False Claims, Officials Warn, over unfounded rumors that their intensive care units are not at near capacity*A as a result of COVID-19. People have been sharing videos online of empty waiting rooms as proof that hospitals are not overwhelmed with Covid patients. Some have even lied about having symptoms to gain entry to the building. Continuation of 201015-CV20.
-*A. The hospital classes itself at near capacity if there is not enough staff to deal with the number of patients, rather than the number of free beds CV06. Beds are usually classified by type (burn, trauma, isolation, ICU, surgical, etc) and patients are diverted to hospitals that have that type of bed. 201112-CV15, 201111-CV04A.
-B. How Bad Is The Pandemic. 'The Gates Of Hades Have Opened,' Says Expert Laurie Garrett. 201109-CV23B, 201109-CV04. A Utah Family's Tragic Story as State Buckles under Surge of Coronavirus Cases.
-C. ADDED Rising Covid Cases Means Americans May Face Health Care Rationing. Here's How They View That. Academics often debate what the criteria should be for determining who gets care in a crisis, but laypeople never had to think about it. That's changing. Pence Said Biden Copied Trump’s Pandemic Response Plan. Pants on Fire.
CV23. Polemic, Myphysis: Iran Blames U.S. Sanctions for Vaccine Payment Problems. U.S. sanctions are preventing Iran from making advance payment to the global COVAX facility set up to provide Covid-19 vaccines to poorer countries, the Iranian government said as the virus death toll kept climbing in the Middle East's hardest hit state.
CV23.1. Greece Is Weaponizing the Coronavirus Against Refugees, who cannot leave their camps, for the spread of the virus.
CV27. Learning: Stanford Vs. Harvard: Two Famous Biz Schools’ Opposing Tactics on Covid. While the Harvard Business School gently chided returnees to be on their best behavior, Stanford deployed green vested enforcers and campus police who sometimes threatened students if they violated the rules. Both, apparently, succeeded. 201102-CV32.
CV29. Responsibility, Decision Making: Trump Absent from Coronavirus Fight at Emergency's Worst Moment Yet*A Listicle. Since the election results he disputes, President Donald Trump has remained silent about the alarming virus surge and taken no new actions to combat it. Biden Team Says Transition Delays Hurt Efforts to Battle Virus Surge Listicle, Trump Fine With Letting Countless Americans Die from Covid-19 So He Can Pretend He’s Getting a Second Term, 201111-CV04 -A. [Cartoon =2= ADDED =3=]. Biden Aide Sees Localized Covid-19 Restrictions, Not National Lockdown, after Inauguration, this is probably a walk back after strong backlash, or a trial balloon to see what the reaction is Biden Adviser Walks Back Earlier Proposal Calling for Lockdown, never discussed this with the rest of the Biden team. With rising numbers and delays in action I don’t see how national level restrictions can be avoided. President Elect Joe Biden's Covid Advisors Nix Idea of U.S. Lockdown to Curb Pandemic. A national lockdown a few weeks ago may have flattened the curve, but doing so now will accomplish very little in terms of spread (but could mitigate deaths) until an effective vaccine =2= is being distributed and accepted. Dr. Fauci Says We Shouldn’t Have Another Nationwide Coronavirus Lockdown.
-*A. Not exactly true, the are still on going efforts such as Trump Administration Partners with Pharmacies for Wide Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution, though what the whole logistical happens between the creator of the vaccine to the distribution point remains unsettled, and for most of the ultimate end receivers is still facing resistance or no access. Trump to Deliver First Public Remarks in over a Week on Vaccines will hopefully fill in some of these details and not another [Meme], Trump Says Coronavirus Vaccine Won't Be Delivered to New York Right Away, Cuomo Says Trump Is Incompetent and Irrelevant after Vaccine Threat. It may be that delaying transition is a scorched earth policy CV06 CV23 to maximize and cause as many problems for the incoming administration as possible. Donald Trump Follows a Scorched Earth Policy Trying to Reverse Election Results =2=.
-B. ADDED Top Senate Republicans Say Biden Should Get Presidential Intel Briefings. If permitted this will give considerable information and analysis about CV internationally and domestically that the media only has a glimmer of. Getting time to think about it will make a big difference on how prepared the incoming administration will be on Day One. Biden's Covid-19 Team and Trump's Administration must Choose Lives over Politics. It’s Going to Be Very, Very Scary: Before Biden Takes Office, a Precarious 10 Weeks for Escalating Covid-19 Crisis. Fauci Not Advising Biden, Sees No Reason to Quit Trump Now to join that effort when there is so much to do now to fight the surging pandemic. 13 Million More Americans Could Get Covid-19 Before Inauguration Day. Biden Faces Tough Choice of Whether to Back Virus Lockdowns. Donald Trump’s Mass Death Strategy Is Going as Planned, Journalist Says.
-*C. ADDED Cuomo Says Trump Is Incompetent and Irrelevant after Vaccine Threat Trump: New York Will Get Coronavirus Vaccine Last Because of Cuomo’s Comments, Gov. Cuomo Responds to Trump's Threat to Not Send Vaccine to NY: He Tries to Bully People. [Tweet =2=].
