Hi All,

Glad to hear that Barbara Salisbury on the mend, and may come back to play for Scottish Country Dancing in Open Band on a Monday at some point - such good news!

Regarding the Novel Corona Virus COVID19 (INFODEMIC) it seems further understandable, hypothetically - that the Wuhan virus one is the novel one per Boyle (see below) and with limited lifespan and highly contagious as genes (and some people got on a plane and flew to Italy and Iran and state of Washington with it etc., and spread it), and also then that there's a different 'normal' or "known" corona viruses, one which turns up in many tests, and isn't quite so deadly it seems. Am keeping my eyes open for data and articles that might between distinguish the two - https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 - somehow, if this hypothesis has merit

May come to Open Band tomorrow after all, having received the music last night - contingent up further reading of this infodemic. Hoping to see some of you there! :)

Scott

You'll find the Boyle article and video below:

The first item here touches explicitly on Quaker & NtFs' access to psychiatry. Friends in the British Isles could probably dial, via Skype and other similar services, the Friends' Hospital phone number for free, and from your home computers. (And check out too the consultant to the AFSC too). I just shared this email with mostly academic friends as well.

Greetings as this 'infodemic' per MIT develops:

How are you doing in this 'infodemic' per MIT -

Have been seeking out positive approaches to it:

"Yes, there is a drug"
3/6/20 By Paul Willmann
'Since the outbreak of Corona, research is being conducted on a drug against the virus worldwide. Now there is one that is currently being tested. The virologist Dr. explains ' ... 'whether it gives hope.'

And from last year:

Preventive psychiatry?
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry
In what ways could MD faculty in online WUaS Med Schools teach this in 200 countries' main languages
https://psych.hms.harvard.edu - https://hsph.harvard.edu/npe/ -

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1101667343170658304?s=20

And very speculatively, am wondering too about a possible RADICAL action regarding this 'infodemic' (https://twitter.com/techreview/status/1236156573715701760?s=20) to use this new word from MIT, regarding the idea of 'meme' (replicating cultural unit) in the following ways:

1) Reversing Global Warming, since people have significantly apparently stopped flying, and 2) even somehow reversing the global illegal sex trade (???) and possibly too regarding my ethics' inquiry into Stanford University and some of my 6-8 ethics' whistle blowing-s in recent years (... and 3) securing $8.3 billion in US governmental funding (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/06/812964894/where-that-8-3-billion-in-u-s-coronavirus-funding-will-and-wont-go and https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-response-emergency-spending-bill-183621630.html and https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/06/trump-signs-8point3-billion-emergency-coronavirus-spending-package.html) for US virus and genetic research - re aging reversal research too?, and 4) preparing digitally for the next outbreak of 'whatever' - e.g. again, another virus per Harvard/MIT geneticist Prof George Church https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1227150486320615424?s=20, a war etc. and especially in all ~200 countries, and their languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - via the internet ... and on the other hand, an act of bio-terrorism, partly to learn about its effects eg https://twitter.com/GerdMoeBehrens/status/1236612955694944256?s=20).

where you'll find the above observations - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/glass-frog-cochranella-regarding-this.html.

And just came across this today on synthetic biologist Gerd Moe-Behrens' Twitter feed:

"Bioweapons Expert Speaks Out About Novel Coronavirus"
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/03/08/dr-francis-boyle-bioterrorism.aspx
- https://twitter.com/GerdMoeBehrens/status/1236612955694944256?s=20
(and Francis Boyle is a consultant to the Quaker American Friends' Service Committee - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Boyle )


and Gerd and I were in a Stanford Coursera Advanced Startup's course together in autumn 2012, and made these 2 Hangout videos http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm on Dec 1, 2012 and Dec 15, 2012 together, as part of this.



And further 'positiveness' ...

COMMENT
Corona crisis: viruses come, viruses go
Unlike the Sars pathogen, the new corona virus will not be able to be eliminated from the human population. However, it can be assumed that his aggressiveness will decrease over time.

KOMMENTAR
Corona-Krise: Viren kommen, Viren gehen
Anders als der Sars-Erreger wird sich das neue Coronavirus nicht aus der menschlichen Population eliminieren lassen. Es ist aber davon auszugehen, dass seine Aggressivität mit der Zeit abnehmen wird.

Q&A

Inside China’s All-Out War on the Coronavirus

Dr. Bruce Aylward, of the W.H.O., got a rare glimpse into Beijing’s campaign to stop the epidemic. Here’s what he saw.


Excerpt from article ...

NYT's Question -
What about children? We know they are rarely hospitalized. But do they get infected? Do they infect their families?

We don’t know. That Guangdong survey also turned up almost no one under 20. Kids got flu, but not this. We have to do more studies to see if they get it and aren’t affected, and if they pass it to family members. But I asked dozens of doctors: Have you seen a chain of transmission where a child was the index case? The answer was no.



NYT's Question -
Why? There’s a theory that youngsters get the four known mild coronaviruses so often that they’re protected.


That’s still a theory. I couldn’t get enough people to agree to put it in the W.H.O. report.
