Oh. My.

Topic #2: Making a powerful case for the role of government
To come through this crisis we need governments to act. There are actions that only governments can take - and our communications can shape a robust mandate for this critical leadership.

An effective narrative about government responsibility is also a powerful antidote to us-vs-them thinking.

If government responsibility goes off the radar, we fail to get the action we need - and stigmatized groups can quickly become targets. Our narratives can help prevent simmering ageist or xenophobic resentments from boiling over into full-blown questioning of which lives are worth saving and at what cost.

But government responsibility is also a topic we must navigate carefully. When people see governments as wholly useless or corrupt, it perpetuates inaction and drives disengagement. A singular focus on partisanship, special interests, or dissatisfaction with elected leaders can obscure the potential for an effective government response. When we trigger the idea that government is all about the people in power, it's harder to focus attention on the powerful structures that we have, and need, to mount an effective response.

TOM MAGUIRE! that video made me LOL!

[peter]

Regarding sharing a ventilator with three other patients, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be hooked up to three other dying patients. Ventilators are nasty super Petri dishes of germs that need to be cleaned periodically.

[rse]

It is from the Frameworks Institute, but checking their funding shows just how politically connected their support is. Here's more as it shows this really is the excuse for the politically organized society Ervin Laszlo aid out in the early 70s as the 'organized society' in a book I have published in the Netherlands but applicable to the West. The Soviets called it Upravleniye.

Here are three framing strategies that can help us lead a more productive conversation about the mission, role, and responsibility of governments at this crucial time.

Emphasize that we need and deserve a robust public response to this crisis.

Talk about what governments can and must do. Be clear that government action is do-able and in line with how our society can and should function.

Instead of starting and ending with government failure
"Our government is failing all of us and the most vulnerable will pay the biggest price. There is no concerted plan, dangerously unclear guidance, and crushingly inadequate support for those in most need. This is no time for politics as usual but we're seeing again and again that today's leaders are not up to the job."

Hold government accountable. Call leaders to action.
"We all rely on government leadership and action to keep our society going. Our leaders must take immediate action to slow the spread of the virus and mobilize the medical equipment and supplies needed to keep us all safe. And they must lead us all through the problems that lie ahead, using the best tools humanity has to rebuild our societies."

[rse]

2. Be clear that government action has a distinct role - different from the things businesses, nonprofits, or individuals can do.
The term "government," on its own, can spark mistrust, fear, or ridicule. It helps to pair the term government with a description of how it should act - as a protector, a long-term planner, or as the people's voice.

Instead of calling for others to fill in the gaps
"Businesses must step up, do the right thing, and look for how they can provide a product or service that fills our new needs. To protect the elderly and frail, the young and strong must put personal desires and fears aside, avoiding the temptation to stockpile food or take unnecessary outings. And we all must do what we can to support our heroic doctors and nurses - whether that's staying at home, donating supplies, or sewing protective masks."

Emphasize the roles and democratic ideals that only government can fulfill
"We are all relying on our public institutions to protect us from physical harm and economic hardship during this pandemic. Businesses, nonprofits, and individuals can all play a part, but only government can channel public resources into the things we all need like vaccines or ventilators. Only government can set and enforce the rules that keep us all safe and well. We need action that makes the biggest difference for everyone and this must be led by government."

[Buckeye]

A “little birdie” told me that the testing needs for the US are already being met.

Bottlenecks are mostly at the processing centers and are being worked out quickly.

The tests that Abbott developed over the last few weeks are being shipped to the UK instead of here where they are not really needed.

BTW, they are being manufactured in China.

[rse]

3. Don't play the individual blame game. Instead, call leaders to action.
Avoid activating a sense that our leaders are too inept or self-serving to trust. Instead, focus on the concrete actions that specific agencies or jurisdictions can and must take now for the common good. Once attention is focused on specific elected officials, the conversation quickly shifts away from collective action and gets stuck in politics-as-usual.

Instead of talking about personalities, politicians, or politics
"Unfortunately, our current leader is more focused on protecting his reputation than he is on protecting public health. And the rest of the party is going along with it. In the end, the very voters that put him in office will be the ones who suffer the most from this pandemic. It will be interesting to see how this turns out when - or if - the next election is held."

Focus on the actions that citizens should hold government accountable for
"We all need our governments to respond swiftly to new information about the virus and act quickly to protect us. We call on agencies at every level of government to deploy every policy tool at their disposal - and to do it now. And we call on citizens to stay informed, stay engaged, and hold their representatives accountable for doing the right thing."
About this series
In this uniquely challenging moment, we need to connect people to the bigger picture. We need ways to explain health, enhance community, and offer hope.

We're pulling guidance from twenty years of framing research and practice to help advocates and experts be heard and understood in a time of global crisis. Every few days, we'll share a few ideas that can help us all amplify the values of justice, inclusion, and interdependence.

Never let a crisis go to waste should be amended to say "any excuse to create one".

“Regarding sharing a ventilator”

I’m pretty sure they’d have accounted for that Peter. Vents are already valved to keep the air moving only in the intended directions, and filtered where needed.

[Extraneus]

That NY thing was 3 days ago. The French paper showed % of cured people starting the 2nd day after the drugs were administered. That would have been today for the NY clinical trial, but others were taking the drugs before that. Where is the data?

Being Digital has been a Megatrend for 30 years, and online learning has gone from a concept to a $100 billion industry. The fundamentals of the Knowledge Economy and Digital Infrastructure have been in place to see a massive market evolve—with COVID-19 clearly a catalyst for the market exploding right now.

Converging technologies such as video, 5G, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, and collaboration tools provide a way to reimagine how people learn—which, in many ways, can be superior to the traditional physical model.

We had the World before Coronavirus. And we will have a New World after this challenge subsides. While we are all going through a turbulent storm right now, over the horizon is the Dawn of a New Age with great promise. The future is here.

Or this?

There has never been more need and more opportunity for a new kind of education system to emerge from these incredibly trying times.

In this moment, what if we let the humanity of our kids, families, and communities guide us? Rather than relying on an educational system that selects a narrow range of standardized knowledge every child in this country must be filled with, what if we put trust in a young person’s natural curiosities, help strengthen their self-confidence in pursuing their interests, and honor the unique journeys of each individual learner?

The conventional school day was not designed to enable kids to explore curiosities, develop real world skills, contribute to solving real world problems, be lifelong learners, or connect young people with rich networks of adults in their community and beyond. But, it could be.

The trials began Tuesday. The French protocol was ten days. Patience!

One Twitter anecdote (a guy I trust trusted it, but who knows) said a patient felt great one day later. In what ought to be a double-blind trial!

FWIW, the media has really leaned into making Trump the owner of this drug. IF it is effective, their "See, just like we told you" backpedaling will probably look like ten cornerback prospects trying out at the NFL combine.

That concludes out 2020 football coverage.

And if corporate bonds rally, stocks will.

There are plenty of fine companies with perfectly valid business models that will be fine again when we've moved on from this. *IF* you can ride out any bumps in the road, in a few years (or less) buying now will work out fine.

The test group was given 600 mg daily of Plaquenil, which is on the WHO’s List of Essential Medicines and has been used for malaria, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

At day three, the study reported, 50 percent of the treated group turned from positive to negative for the COVID virus.

By day six, 70 percent tested negative.

I want to make sure I understand prog logic.

Today it is important that we stop using reusable shopping bags because they can promote the spread of coronavirus which to date has killed about 1000 almost exclusively elderly Americans.

Tomorrow, after the coronavirus scare is over it will be vitally important for us to return to blessing the beasts and the children by resuming the enforced use of reusable shopping bags because the scores of thousands of geezers killed by influenza every year is totally worth it.

[Extraneus]

Because it doesnt fit the narrative.

Hard to believe something like that could be kept secret. If the results were bad, people could dunk on Trump. If the results were good, people could be heroes. Therefore, the results are probably confusing.

Extraneous:

Our daughter and my husband have facetime. She's been facetiming us when she gets home in the evening. I'm on an android. I used to have Skype years ago. Can't remember why I quit. Our two granddaughters, 15, 13, have iphones, and 10 year old grandson has an ipad. The girls have done tiktoks, dancing, singing, and sent them to us. :) Cute. My sister and I have been WhatsApping video calls to each other, though she came by yesterday. We're not supposed to do that -- be out on errands unless it's for groceries or prescriptions. She had found a box of the clear, disposable safety gloves in her cabinets and had offered them to our daughter, who said, "marvelous" -- her group has moved into a fire station on the campus that had been converted into the medical examiner's office awhile back. She's in and out a lot to the different campuses and clinics, so I'm sure she's touching lots of surfaces and was pleased to have extra gloves in a pinch. One day I told her I'd been practicing not touching my face, hand washing after picking things up, etc., and it drove me crazy; and I didn't know how she was standing the frenetic pace she was living. She said, 'it's been hard. You feel like you have arms and nothing on the end.'

I ordered her three different boxes of latex disposable safety protective gloves from different places on amazon. All orders were accepted, one has been shipped. I hadn't tried to order anything like that because I assumed they'd vanished like toilet paper. I hope the gloves are shipped to me.

There's something about touching people, though. We're not a family of huggers. I've never liked to hug friends; I didn't use to hug my sisters or mother when I came home from London. But, it's the grandchildren. Maybe because I touched and held them when they were babies. When the girls come in, especially the oldest, I want to be close. She is lovely, her skin, hair. I drink in her essence -- youth, sun, vibrance, silk, velvet, satin -- she smells clean and pure, like springtime all the time. :)

Well, I guess this has helped me get that off my chest. Sorry to spill it all over here. Guess it's been building up since the first of this business.

‘Economist’ Runs Chinese Coronavirus Propaganda Disguised as News

The propaganda advertorials, which are ads designed to look like news stories, come from the Beijing Review, an entity backed by the Chinese Communist Party. The outlet has never registered with the Department of Justice as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and does not include a legally required disclaimer that the ad is being pushed by a foreign nation.

"President Xi [Jinping] leads the battle against COVID-19 outbreak toward victory," an advertorial published in the March 21 edition of the Economist reads. "China has rolled out ‘probably the most ambitious, agile, and aggressive disease containment effort in history.'"

Of nine leaders and institutions rated by Americans in a new poll on their response to the novel Wuhan Coronavirus, the media fared the worst, and it's not even close.

According to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday, the media was the only institution that scored a negative approval rating among the public with only 44 percent of Americans approving of the way the media has covered the virus. Fifty-five percent disapprove making for a -11 percent rating.
