220131 Politics of Excrement

-1. Viral Waste, or Covid Down the Toilet: Post Colonic Pandemic Biopolitics. The Covid-19 pandemic presents us with yet another example of the implacable return of shit to the biosecurity calculus. What explains this compulsive recursion to human excrement in prim and proper epidemiological analysis. What anxieties underlie our incapacity ever to leave behind the defecatory scene. That is, what is happening when we imagine samples of otherwise worthless, even dangerous, human waste as valuable and informative viral sentinels. What biomedical ritual makes such transformation possible. And what politics of life does shit ⁴↓ generate when thus purified and objectified.

-2.  On the surface this article is about the direction of too much effort toward wastewater surveillance of CV. This attention is likely a holdover from western imperialism imposition of its mores on other cultures. However, I suspect that the author of the subject article is expressing a droll opinion about the political response to CV and its apparent fascination of Coprophilia and Coporophobia.

            -A. As the curator of Parademic I had notice the toilet plume =2= =3= ^{Scroll down to #4} panic but did not note it as a stub. I’d dismissed it at a urban myth (there are so many for CV) and poor science journalism (again so much for CV). This is a recycled variation of the airborne Ebolaphobia =2= and getting STDs from toilet seats. I am aware that social contagions are spread by both social and mainstream media^$ and how toilets and feces are common analogies for politics.

            -B. Though parademic probably should have noted CV Toilet Plumes as a stub, the Toilet Paper ⁶↓ shortage seemed to be more important at the time. The misinformation about Plumes was quickly and effectively debunked. It is likely that phobia contributed to sales and creating shortages of bathroom disinfectants and air fresheners.

Political Theater: 200727-CV25A, 200422-CV16A, 200406-CV4, 200209-1D. <ADDED 190721-180513-1.1>9D, <ADDED 190421-180513-1.1>4A, 180527-2.1, 170604-4.2C, 170507-1.1A, 170129-2.2*. 180301, Imaginary Dominionism 2018, neither of this last two have a specific entry on political theater, but each is about political theater.

            -A. Have not delved into this but observed while locating parademic stubs about Toilet Paper that there was a correlation of some unexpected words, “gun” being one, and Toilet Paper. This is not correlation is not causation, but an indication that there is a common cause or connection between two separate facts. Ludicrous Juxtapositions indicate either humor, or another ideofact linking the two.

200128 Stuck at Phase 1

Fauci Says There Are 5 Stages of the Covid Pandemic – and We Are Still in Phase 1.

-1. The first phase is the pandemic. In parademic this is called “Acceleration” which applies to any biosphere calamity. Biocalamities of internal health and external environment are constant in living systems, but when they change from logarithmic to exponential growth =2=, the acceleration is beyond the capacity to recover to the previous state, becoming an existential crisis. Currently there are several different biocalamities that are in acceleration around the globe, not just Covid, and these can synergize to create syndemics.

-2. Deceleration: After the first phase comes deceleration – a slowdown in the number of new cases. Unfortunately, deceleration in parademic includes when there is a decrease in population numbers resulting in fewer potential victims/hosts, or that the infrastructure to keep track of new morbidity and mortality has collapsed due to depopulation. Deceleration is not necessarily a good thing as the deceleration of any living population is a biocalamity. However, decelerations always end with a plateau at a lower population number than before the acceleration of a biocalamity (possible to rebound), or until the population reaches zero. Zero means that the population is so low, lacking habitat or means to reproduce, that rebound of the population is not possible.

            -A. Containment is not a term used in the subject article, but a parademic term borrowed from wildland fire fighting, fire metaphors of disease outbreaks having a long history. The biocalamity – drought driven megafires being one type of biocalamity – is contained to a geographic and/or temporal space, preventing spread to more available hosts or environments (fuels). Parademic usually pairs containment followed by control because it is impossible to achieve control of a pandemic if there are still gaps and containment is not first achieved through medical and social measures and then maintained until the outbreak finally burns out or goes dormant. As a global pandemic, Covid will not be contained until it is contained worldwide in decreasingly smaller areas (populations, environments/anthromes), that are not connected, are unable to breach areas that are controlled, and that restrictions that contain Covid are not eased too soon=2=.

            -B. Containment of disease causing agents, both organic and inorganic, is difficult to maintain because it may go dormant until changing conditions allow it to grow in numbers again, or contaminants are released again into the environment after rollback of regulations =2=. The agents may evolve to be able to escape the containment measures, or have previously evolved to go dormant/hibernate/covertly stored when there are adverse conditions. Over time, vigilance and maintenance of medical and social control tend to relax and the regulated containment is lost. Last, the initial growth can be bradyoccult (slow and hidden) and may go unnoticed until after it accelerates*^C↓ again.

            -*C. Readers are probably familiar with the Social Media term, “Viral”, referring to how widely and quickly viral social media spreads, i.e. accelerates. It does not matter if the viral media is true or not, in fact there are indications that the less true an item is the more likely it is to go viral – Conspiracy Theory, Misinformation =2=, Rumor =2=, Fraud, Medical Scams, Fear Mongering – and cause damage to populations and environments (society). Going viral is an apt term for the Covid Pandemic. These viral messages have hampered and neutralized Containment and Control, allowing Covid to spread widely, and permits time for it to evolve and circumvent Containment and Control measures, thereby letting the pandemic continue for a longer time. The wider and longer the pandemic endures the more lives are lost, the more likely those infected end up with chronic conditions, resulting in more economic damage =2=. With continued inability to Contain and Control it becomes more likely that more severe and the draconian measures that will be needed. [Cartoon].

-3. Control. The next phase is the control phase of the pandemic – or what some are referring to as endemicity =2=. That means that Covid-19 becomes integrated into the broad range of infectious diseases we commonly experience. It is present, but at a level that does not disrupt society.

            -A. Endemic refers to a disease, or disease-like social conditions, that is native to an area or population. Endemicity is a neologism ⁹↓ =2= =3= =4=. Endemicity can be herd immunity, dormancy of the agent in a reservoir population (human and non human) that carry the disease but are immune to it, or the population has adapted to make the disease milder. In some cases the causative agent may evolve to not be as quickly fatal to hosts, allowing it to continue to thrive. Endemicity can be a temporary condition when there are no current strains that cause serious disease in humans, or a total isolated containment of the agent where it is no longer a threat.

            -B. Unknown at this time is if endemicity will enter the language of the general population, or become part of the jargon or a specific group/ideology. Most likely endemnicity will disappear because it is essentially meaningless ideological justification, while the previous terms (endemic, immune (reservoir) population) still carry the intended meaning.

-4. Elimination: The elimination is when a biocalamity still exists in the world but it has been eradicated from certain regions or countries, or slower. Fauci gives the example of polio, which has been eradicated from many countries. In parademic nomenclature elimination is part of Containment and Control ⁷↓.

            -A. Polio is not a good example of elimination. Polio is accelerating again where it was not contained and controlled, and reemerging in countries where is was controlled.

-5. Eradication: The last stage, eradication, is nearly impossible to reach. Fauci notes smallpox was the only infectious human disease that has ever been eradicated (that we know of), and he said outright that regarding Covid, “That’s not going to happen with this virus”.

            -A. Parademic eliminated use of the term “eradication” years ago, preferring neutralization or driving to dormancy/back to its reservoir. Besides being nearly impossible to archive enduring eradication, it is not always desirable to successfully accomplish a genocide/ extinction.

            -B. Eradication efforts may eliminate a key species to an ecology, thereby cascading harm through other species, biomes and anthromes. Eradication decreases biodiversity, thus the breadth of genetic diversity needed for rebound of populations from biocalamities. Attempts at eradication can become a selective pressure of evolution that results in improved strains that are worse and have no treatments/cures. These anthropogenic biocalamities have resulted in vulnerable domesticated species, deforestation, and superbugs.

 -6. The subject article uses a strictly medical view of a pandemic.

            -A. Fauci’s purely clinical description of a pandemic does not address the human factors of the pandemic. It may model the propagation and ending of a pandemic, but provides nothing to communicate valid information, avoid exploitation, aid in protection, mitigate economic losses, deal with the political aspects, control harmful infodemics, etc. The human experience of a pandemic is more akin to the grief cycle =2=, the feelings people have when they are told they are infected with a potentially fatal disease (CV15 in the 2020-21 listibase). Clinical descriptions are fine for those who need to maintain emotional distance from the harm of a pandemic and terminal patients, and possibly as a model to find ways to interrupt spread for Containment and Control. An objective model does not help for conditions or uncertainty, fear and panic, the very aspects that social and sensationalist media finds useful to go viral for gain (infodemic).

            -B. Humans have a blind spot to disaster that don’t involve people. If it is not mephetic, harmful to ourselves and the humans were share an identity with, it is not a pandemic. That is an erroneous view. There are syndemics among flora, fauna, microbes that are harmful to human life. These diseases and contaminates cumulatively destroy raw material resources, food sources, potable water throughout the hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere, eventually damaging the biosphere.

            -C. It is likely that this model of the phases of a pandemic was an intentional heuristic by Dr Fauci to make the concept easier to be widely communicated and be understood that progress has not been made to contain and control Covid. A complete and accurate explanation would require years of prerequisite education, along with hours of explanation and correction of outdated understanding. Dr Fauci understands that people would tune him out if he provided a detailed and comprehensive model. People don’t need to have complete and total medical and scientific knowledge to behave appropriately (that is survive) during a pandemic. By emphasizing that we are still, after three years, at the first phase of pandemic makes the model personal enough to be of self interest, with just enough insight of where we want the pandemic to go next, that people can determine the course of the pandemic, and most importantly not assigning blame for the pandemic.

            -D. Dr Fauci has used this pandemic phase model as a vehicle to point out that individual and community rights, cross jurisdictions, interagency and international cooperation has not yet been achieved, and therefore Covid is still in and will remain at Phase 1. If the acceleration of Phase 1 continues the human population will decelerate (drop, depopulate) to a point where the outcome is the human species being unable to rebound, rather than the more desirable deceleration of the disease causing agent and its fostering social conditions.

            -A. Parademic has found that “stages and phases” don’t work well for biocalamities. Living systems are not consistent and orderly in progression, geographically and temporally. This lack of persistent steady patterns makes the use of a single model of transitions useless for Containment and Control. There are many ways of framing a biocalamity =2= =3= =4= =5= =6= =7= =8= etc., each suitable for the different problems of the associated parademic of people’s helpful and hindering behaviors. Global biocalamities continuously spiral in multiple cycles, with cross currents, up and down waves, ebbs and tides, reversing flows, geysers and whirlpools. Add parademic to this dynamic system and one can have senseless chaos and information vacuums.

            -B. The issue with adherence to disaster stages being applied to slow worldwide existential disasters (biocalamities), is based on observation over the years, including my employment as a DoD pandemic planner in 2010-11. HHS, States, Counties, WHO, Nations had a variety of pandemic phase models that were incompatible, and all ignored human factors. In addition, the phase models from Disaster Management are designed for fast occurring disasters, limited in geography and time, and are largely related to severe weather, fire, physical trauma, or geological phenomena. Per disaster phase models and planning, if local Disaster Management is overwhelmed, more resources are brought in. Global biocalamities are all at once and everywhere overwhelming of resources. These concerns have been touched upon several times in the Parademic Listibase.

-9. Neologism: CV06 is the category of linguistics related to parademic in the 2020-21 Listibase, the specific links being 200723-CV06B, 200511-CV06. The word Covid itself is a multivocalic neologism, to include Chinese Virus”.

220107 Heros

-1. There are two heroes in this photo taken in Colorado during April 2020, the first full year of the global Covid pandemic.

-2. Calling both heroes however is a speculation. I’ve seen other articles and photos from the event, and the video of this actual incident, but one can never be absolutely sure if an act is heroic or cowardly. Personally, the only certainty I have from the image is a feeling of weltschmerz – deep world weary embarrassment.

-3. One of the people pictured is showing the short term bravery of someone whipped into a mob frenzy, fueled by a virulent xenophobic nationalism. They are protecting their individual rights, without regard for responsibilities to community health. The screaming is citing a questionable national identity, possibly because they believe there will be no personal consequences, that they are not going to cause harm because Covid is not a real threat, making public health measures more costly than the disease itself.

-4. The other person in the picture is displaying the long term courage of protecting the health of a community, of their fellow workers. They are wearing a mask, being silent, taking the risk of being severely injured. However, many health care workers have left the profession due to the continuing stress of continuing Covid and threats.

-5. Both these heroes may have become infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus at a later date, possibly dying. One because they would not mask, and likely refused to vaccinate. They may have also infected family and friends, either the ideological or pathogenic infections. Some of these contagions may have long term sequela from Covid, and the detrimental cognitive dissonance and ideation needed to maintain beliefs that conflict with validated evidence.

            -A. The other may become infected from lack of medical grade personal protective equipment, and being constantly exposed to those who have been infected in both senses, possibly from the same event.

-6. Did they both feel fear for their acts of protest/ counterprotest, protection/ guarding, offense/ defense. Cowards and heroes have fear in common, but maybe one or both did not feel fear. Are they still then heroes, or blind zealots.

-7. One of the heroes is absolutely certain, making a clear choice because of who they choose to believe about what is real and what is fake. The other is making a decision from evolving and therefore uncertain evidence. Both have faith in what they believe. Both are right, but in different ways. Both are scared of the other but express this by bellicose intimidation or unflappable by intimidations.

            -A. What is it like knowing what will happen if they don’t stand in the way of the bravado of mob panic, or the intransigence of the Other.

-8. These heroes reflect the groups they identify with, the ones that see them as either a proud hero or an evil loser. They are representative of distinct types of leaders and followers, the ones that want purity, and those that tolerate difference.

-9. Maybe neither thinks of themselves as heroes, just someone that did what needed to be done, irritated at being called heroes when there were real heroes.

-10. It can be argued that there is no such thing as a hero, but individuals who found themselves in the circumstances of a time and place that made them heroes (or obsequious sycophants). As the myths and legends about the CV syndemic develop, history will evolve to decide what these two people were.

-11. Quote: You also had some very fine people on both sides.

-12. The following are related stub notes by key character string, that give the fuller context – and therefor the meaning – of protests during Covid. These character strings do not cover all the available material on a topic collected by parademic and other sources. They are a start for meta analysis and deeper research.

220105 Toxic Exposure & Covid Syndemic

9/11 and Beyond: Our World of Toxic Exposure/Covid-19 Syndemics. Edited Excerpt:

-1. For the last 25 years, in my work as an applied medical anthropologist, I have called attention to and explored syndemics, the biosocial adverse interaction of two or more diseases and the social conditions of the local or regional context in which they occur. The study of syndemics offers a way to address both health risks and unjust and harmful social arrangements, and an approach for mounting structural interventions to prevent extensive social suffering, illness, and death.

            -A. This is the first I’ve seen where another researcher uses the word syndemic in the same sense as parademic, i.e. that syndemic*^B includes social contagions and conditions (social determinants of disease ⁵↓) synergiesing*^C with environmental factors and health pathogens. Usually, this medical term is used to mean concurrent combinations of environmental (not always), health and epidemics.

            -*B. What Do We Know about Flurona, the First Case of Covid and Flu Double Infection.

            -*C. Synergis (or z) ing, is not yet a separate term in formal dictionaries. It’s however an accepted variation of synergise/ ze, that is seen in research articles.

-2. One kind of syndemic of growing concern is the ecosyndemic, which involves the environmental mediation of disease interaction. Of particular recent concern is the study of the intersection between the ongoing health effects of 9/11 =2= ⁷↓ and the spread of Covid-19. In notable numbers, first responders exposed to a mix of toxins as they worked to save lives at Ground Zero are now dying from a viral disease that attacks their already damaged lungs and immune systems. The consequences of this destructive ecosyndemic are exemplified by the fact that almost half of New York City Fire Department 9/11 ⁷↓ medical responders have contracted Covid-19.

            -A. Two addition forms of attacks on public health ¹⁰↓ infrastructure are environmental warfare and antivax. The instigators of the 9/11 attacks probably did not intend the additional collateral damage of indirectly killing people years after 9/11, and that many of those respiratory vulnerable people are still part of the public health system. Likewise, antivax can also take credit for synergizing 9/11 continuing health impact by assuring the health system continues to be overwhelmed and attrited by keeping Covid uncontained and uncontrolled. If a successful war can be measured in numbers of those killed, then antivax will easily be among the top five.

-3. Toxic exposure/ Covid-19 syndemics affect far more people in the U.S. and elsewhere than those involved in the events of 9/11 ⁷↓. A second ecosyndemic linking Covid-19 and environmental toxins is being driven by wildfire smoke *^{A, 4}↓. Respiratory system damage resulting from smoke exacerbate conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), putting people at increased risk of adverse Covid-19 outcomes.

            -*A. Poor Air Quality from Wildfire Smoke Worsens Covid-19 Cases, Deaths. The Potential Impact of Smog Spell on Humans’ Health amid Covid-19 Rages.

Rafe Sagarin: 1972-2015. Sagarin was a marine ecologist. He looked at the barricades, armed guards, and other security features of post 9/11 Washington through an ecological frame. He described what he saw as an ecology of fear. That observation led to one of the few fundamentally creative insights in homeland security thinking. When asked what biology had to contribute to homeland security. His answer: “plenty”. Biology offers 3.5 billion years of experience and more than 20 million answers to the question of how one survives and thrives in a hostile and unpredictable world.

January 2020

Link title should be January 2022.

For the time being will post at the end of the month, though it is possible I will return to weekly or daily notes about Parademic. This is posted now so I have a means to linking to pertinent stubs in the Listibase (database of articles and listicles) of 2020-21.

Next few months will focus on completing the editing of the CV PDN, and PDWN of 2021. I was optimistic that would take just a year to do. Even the light editing I am doing is taking longer than anticipated and now may two years or more. This is not simply because of correction or errors in grammar but at the same time I am synthesizing and reflecting on 202-21, as well as the previous ten years of collection.

Will also be completing and editing the Parademic Glossary and Concept, and will also hopefuly start posting synthesis of parademic products.

ADDED: This very quickly became unworkable. CV related news so far remains repeats, following the same threads of narratives that started in 2020 (or before) and continued in 2021. I simply can't keep up collecting if I want to finish the other aspects of the parademic project. If the reader is interested in keeping up the the current repetitions of recycles, icons, dissemination and evolutions (RIDE 200428-CV18B**2) the internet is available.

            -B.  People Who Believe Covid-19 Misinformation Are More Likely to Contract the Virus. There is a similarity between the effects of using bioweapons and disinformation. They both infect everyone, not just who are targeted. Even if people are immune to the bioagent and/or non fact information, they are affected.

-3. The Cure for Covid Nobody Is Talking About. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of compulsory vaccinations, the challenge from Republican led states involves whether Congress has authorized the executive branch to institute these requirements. Louisiana Court Blocks Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate as US Battles Record Covid-19 Wave, Weekly Covid Hospitalizations in Louisiana More than Double as Omicron Surges.

-4. Britain Got it Wrong on Covid: Long Lockdown Did More Harm than Good, Says Scientist. Agree that the longer that a biocalamity evolves, and the longer social control and containment measures continue, the more severe the economic (political, information, education, etc.) consequences. However, did Britain ever actually accomplish a shelter in place of sufficient duration and numbers to flatten the growth curve of CV. I would argue no.
