Dear Dick, Lucy, Ma, Ann, Alden,
This picture - https://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellschaft/gesundheit/coronavirus/wer-liefert-wann-das-corona-medikament-und-zu-welchem-preis-16696479.html (https://translate.google.com/) - in the article "Who delivers the drug when - and at what price?" - looks like a big homemade ice cream making machine :)) ... and perhaps vis-a-vis pharmaceutical products ... even a bit Alice-in-Wonderland like as well :) ... but it's partly about competition, and lack of sharing of data ... Hopefully my big project - for example ONE realistic virtual earth for pharmaceuticals / everything - will change some of these contours regarding CC-4 licensing too, and of MIT OCW in 4 languages as well, and regarding clinical trials planned with machine learning - for speakers in all 7,117 known living languages (the number rose from 7,111 recently).
Am not clear how this shelter-at-home approach in much of USA, with current coronavirus meme pandemic, will affect the November election, or online pharmaceutical drug development, or for that matter data-sharing, but 'society' seems a bit different newly, and growing fulsomely online. Was there some precipitating radical action that has informed these changes? Am developing "coronavirus" meme 'radical action' inquiries here -
Mt. Shasta at sunrise: Inquiring here - was this coronavirus meme pandemic as a radical act also a major worldwide work stoppage? - and work 'start-age' too? * * * Further recent blog posts with inquiries about a 'radical action' regarding the coronavirus ....
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/mt-shasta-at-sunrise-inquiring-here-was.html - (and in some of 18 recent blog posts - my mother has encouraged me to keep a journal in these times, and my blog is this in some ways) - and I wonder what implications for November there might be here re shelter at home and radical actions too. (Harvard and MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church continues to call for lock downs -Decision-makers at the federal, state and provincial levels around the globe: Immediate lockdown for reducing spread of COVID-19 - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/R3PwefTe0U via @Change— george church (@geochurch) March 20, 2020

Was a little started to observe Dr. Tony Fauci MD suggesting on front page of Sunday Boston Globe yesterday that 100,000 people could die from coronavirus, and here too:
"Dr. Anthony Fauci says there could potentially be between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths related to the coronavirus and millions of cases. “I just don’t think that we really need to make a projection when it’s such a moving target, that you could so easily be wrong,” he adds. #CNNSOTU"

(And am appreciating both Harvard Professor of Economics' Greg Mankiw's support of Fauci, here again - Here's Harvard Professor of Economics' Greg Mankiw's "Thoughts on the Pandemic" - http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2020/03/thoughts-on-pandemic.html - as well as am also a little startled at the 'severe' language both he and John Palfrey, President of MacArthur Foundation, and former Harvard Law Prof, are using regarding the 'battle' with coronavirus). Am also startled regarding the possible quarantine - Boston Globe yesterday again - or lock down even of all of New York, CT, MA ... or "strong" advisory not to travel from these states). What's happening - and regarding what?
And have China and Russia somehow been successfully 'contained' as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic (if there were expansion developments occurring), - and China, with their own new legal language - (somehow potentially in relation to the Stanford Law China Guiding Cases Project - https://cgc.law.stanford.edu - which has been translating, in a time of legal reform in China, the fairly new Beijing Supreme Courts' rulings ... and law is a writer's game, - and in Chinese/Mandarin too) - has now apparently 'closed their borders' ? ? ?
Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? And how are all of you doing - am appreciating that you're hunkering down, Ann, in northeastern Oregon on Wisdom Creek Ranch these weeks :) I am as well here in Canyon 94516, and the internet is making possible many new forms of sociality (which I partly teach about in this course - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - as well as study). :) Lucy, Alden, Dick?
Fondly,
Scott

As I read further in Manuel Castells' "Communication Power" (2013 / 2009) currently much about the US elections in 2004 and 2008 regarding the media, am appreciative of the perspective they offer on the current US presidential race. Am also wondering about the role of the novel coronavirus COVID19 (SARS CoV-2) pandemic in terms of his far-reaching analysis of ways in which internet media's 'framing' occurs, beginning on p. 137 -
Chapter 3 Networks of Mind and Power
"The Windmills of the Mind'
framing -
mechanisms 142-43
framing of the mind 155-165
- and am curious about the role of misinformation (which Castells' touches on) in these 'in case of emergency' or 'fire drill' (and other subtexts) coronavirus inquiries I'm exploring in writing. Who are the coronavirus 'memes' in the internet media affecting the most, and to what end, I wonder?
