-1. Both morality and ethics loosely have to do with distinguishing the difference between “good and bad” or “right and wrong.” Many people think of morality as something that's personal and normative, whereas ethics is the standards of “good and bad” distinguished by a certain community or social setting =2=.
-2. Parademic problems arise during pandemics when terms and meanings are fluid and used interchangeably 200405-2 -A, especially to justify or obfuscate behaviors that under normal conditions are unethical and/or immoral, that are beyond the pale, and violate the expectations that leadership – see CV29 of the 2020 notes – and expert advice be moral and ethical. Negative parademic is exacerbated when the ethics and/or morals that are followed are revealed to be untested invalid assumptions that are questionable, and dysfunctional in the context of an accelerated biocalamity.
-3. The parademic associated with the CV global pandemic biocalamity has a developing literature *A‡ about what is ethical may be immoral, that what one may find moral in terms of personal benefit is unethical to the larger community, that what one considers to be good is harmful, and what is believed to be bad is of greater benefit to more people. CV24 Norms of the 2020 PDN notes cover many related topics

-4. Persistence of CV continues to destabilize people’s understanding of moral and ethics, and what are used as equivalent terms: I am an American; We are protecting children; What (deity or idoloated person) proclaims; (Information source) is fake or the only truth; I am a Doctor or other profession; Freedom from responsibility; Responsibility to Others; Our goal justifies the means used to archive it. The reader will note that this moral and ethical framing often appear in the form of political slogans.
-5. The continuing personal and social impacts of the relative nature of morality and ethics during existential events include: Backlash/resistance; Non sequitur questioning; Use of creating moral panics to advance unethical agendas; Rewriting history and current events; Changing legal interpretations or creating new laws, and; other Moral Cognitive Dissonance =2= =3=. This disconnection between rules that always worked before, failed when encountering conditions of uncertainty. When one’s personal worldview is no longer functioning, lead to increasing backfire and doubling down on previous magical thinking. This results in continence of the existential event, bunker mentality, mental health issues, poor decision making, further moral injury, fatigue, depression and withdrawal from the whole issue.
-6. There appears to be a strong correlation between claims of morality and ethics, especially by those whose reputations are based on claims of morality and ethics, to support immoral and unethical beliefs and actions during existential events. The purpose of the duplicity may be to reestablish power, likely achieved by fraud, that has weakened an accepted moral narrative =2=. Apparently terminology related to morality is more relative and vague than moral relativists contend, including among moral absolutists. It is not morality and ethics per se that deteriorate during pandemics, but that the unquestioned underpinnings that morals and ethics are based on become more apparent 200525-CV24, and less useful for guiding behavior in the reality of a biocalamity.
-7. The wax and wane of discourse on morality may have a time lag in relation to the wax and wane of pandemic or parademic waves. When there is a correlation of morality and a biocalamity that is an indication of an emerging parademic. Interestingly, negative economic consequences of a biocalamity are another indicator that a biocalamity has become a biocrisis. Biocrises are the concurrent hindering or facilitating of parademics and accelerated biocalamities, synergizing syndemics and social contagions. The relation of parademic with (in)morality implies a relation between economics and morality, 200520-CV04A. . Economics and morality may explain the magical thinking that sin causes supernatural wrath in the form of anthropogenic plagues and that the scapegoat sinner(s) blamed for causing the social collapse must be banished or destroyed.
