12:29:28 From Heike : Should be starting in half an hour, right? 12:29:52 From AAA Web : Greetings Heike, Correct. The webinar will begin in approximately 30 minutes. 12:30:28 From jbperpetua@up.edu.ph : Thanks for clarifying! I guess we're just early. 12:31:03 From Francesco - Adriano : Greetings, thank you for the clarification. 12:33:36 From AAA Web : Early is good. Let's you test the system. 12:36:56 From Heike : Yes, hi everyone, looking forward to this webinar. Thanks for organising this, a great opportunity to get colleagues from across the globe together at this moment of general crisis (I'm currently in quarantine in Argentina), 12:37:52 From Kristin Hedges : Welcome to the COVID-19: Responses from around the Globe webinar. We will begin at 1:00 EDT. You are in the right place. 12:47:02 From Davide : https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Report-COVID-2019_30_marzo_eng.pdf 12:48:22 From Blake P Mccabe : I'm not late to this am I? Are they just discussing in advance stuff? 12:48:52 From jeffmartin : Just doing advance talk. 12:49:39 From Blake P Mccabe : k tnx 12:51:29 From Blake P Mccabe : Banter is important. All the classes I'm teaching online we give the first 15min just for the students to socialize because it's been hard on them and they need it 12:51:55 From Deon Marie Claiborne : HI everyone! Thank you for coming to our webinar. I'm Deon and the Co-chair along with Kristin Hedges for the ARHE SIG. I wanted to pass along to everyone the link to our survey. We are trying to put together an expertise database for Health Emergencies. If you've done it already, no problem, but for those who are new or haven't, please click this link and take it if you'd like: https://forms.gle/qLeUvD9T5CxHXvqY9 Secondly, a little housekeeping. We understand that there will be a lot of questions and we have several people helping us wrangle them as they come up on the chat. To that end, if you could preface your questions with QUESTION: that will help us spot them easier. Thank you. 12:51:58 From Nasima Selim : @Blake: I agree... 12:52:03 From Nasima Selim : Banter is important 12:53:06 From Deon Marie Claiborne : @Blake … me too. Some students are starting to have friends who have lost someone or themselves lost someone 12:54:36 From Deon Marie Claiborne : Some of my students attended the last seminar as an extra credit. There are about 20 students at Michigan State University who know more about COVID 19 than they ever expected :-) 12:57:18 From Olga Moya : I am a recent graduate of Anthropology, and it's exciting to join a webinar for AAA besides having my professor providing them during lecture! 12:57:40 From Kristin Hedges : Welcome to the COVID-19: Responses from around the Globe webinar. We will begin at 1:00 EDT. You are in the right place. 12:58:04 From Blake P Mccabe : @Deon. Same here with people losing people they know. we have international students that are stuck here but where they are from is getting hit hard. It's a struggle for them being separated from family and being in a country they are still struggling to acclimate to in general, let alone in dealing with the current crisis. My community and in classes we have started doing meetings just to let people discuss what they are concerned about and share to check in on each other. I also teach elementary kids and the teachers I supervise are university Juniors and Seniors from NYC and we spend time before and after teaching sessions just talking to check in on the teachers also. 12:58:48 From silviahirsch : Hi, here from Buenos Aires, Argentina, we began teaching online, but don’t have the same resources of American universities, but we still manage to teach. 12:59:04 From Michael Ennis-McMillan : Silvia - Bravo! 12:59:39 From Nasima Selim : @Jorge: Great Background! 13:00:00 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: I'm curious to see, how many countries are represented in this webinar by participants?

Deon 13:18:31 From Carolyn Smith-Morris : wow. that underestimation is an important finding! 13:20:16 From Deon Marie Claiborne : REQUEST: Please make sure that your video and microphone are turned off so that the connection doesn't lag and the speakers aren't accidentally interrupted. Thank you. 13:21:27 From Maddie Fussell : Thank you Deon! Apologies! Still adjusting to Zoom settings. 13:22:00 From Deon Marie Claiborne : @Maddie--no problem :-) 13:22:43 From Monika Krol : QUESTION - Will these slides be available to view after the webinar? 13:23:07 From Kristin Hedges : Yes, the slides and recording will be released afterwards. 13:23:11 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : Hello from Bristol, UK 13:23:18 From Monika Krol : Thank you 13:24:01 From Deon Marie Claiborne : SLIDES: they will be incorporated into a youtube video that will be available on the AAA website 13:25:12 From Kristen Doby : QUESTION: Who will pay for remoting monitoring? How expensive is the equipment? 13:25:22 From Patricia Ensworth : QUESTION To what extent are electronic medical records able to keep track of data, and can their usage be better optimized? 13:26:56 From Heike : QUESTION: REMOTE MONITORING POSSIBLE IN LEADING ECONOMIES, BUT NOT WITH MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AND POPULATIONS (INDIGENOUS, FOR EXAMPLE, FIRST CASE REPORTED IN THE AMAZON). DAVIDE HAS MENTIONED AT THE START THE GLOBAL INEQUALITY: BUT WHAT CAN/ SHOULD OUR DISCIPLINE DO TO PRESS GLOBAL BODIES AND GOVERNMENTS TO ADDRESS THIS INEQUALITY? 13:27:08 From utente : patients in ICU are more and more expensive... 13:27:27 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: Can we assume most numbers are significantly lower than the reality (due to downcounting, lack of testing, etc.) If we want accurate numbers, about what factor should multiple the numbers reported by realistically (eg N times 1.5)? 13:27:33 From utente : the goal is avoiding to admitt to late patients 13:27:45 From utente : Great Idea 13:27:57 From Camila Galan : QUESTION: How to combine social distancing with precarious households and precarious health care? 13:28:00 From vmped : Thank you 13:28:09 From Noel B. Salazar : Grazie Davide! 13:28:18 From viennaeleuteri : Grazie! 13:28:24 From Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov : Grazie Davide 13:28:29 From Cinzia Greco : Grazie! 13:28:31 From Deon Marie Claiborne : INFORMATION: Questions will be held until the last speaker has finished 13:28:32 From Lodovica Monica Negri : They are already implementing remote monitoring in Lombardy 13:28:35 From Mark Nichter : Italy has the oldest population , Japan is second ---very different case and fatality rates --any reflections on why this might be so...even if japan is fudging the data to Olympic 13:29:12 From Leigh Anne Menard : QUESTION - what kinds of recommendations do you (Davide or any others) have for social distancing in an apartment with multiple people? Especially with roommates who are not family 13:29:18 From utente : DAVIDE, VERY GOOD!! 13:29:19 From Mark Nichter : Question: Any data on mortality by smokers vs non smokers, those ho had seasonal flu shot / not receiving 13:29:36 From Mark Nichter : also BCG history 13:30:09 From Brittany Kiessling : QUESTION: How would separating the immuno-compromised and older populations help if middle-aged and healthy people are also getting sick and dying? What about people who are caregivers? 13:30:09 From Ellen Estrada : QUESTION: Has vaping in the younger groups been studied? Part of the bio-medical data as patients are screened? 13:30:35 From Mark Nichter : For all --lessons learned from contact tracing --digital and in person..... 13:30:44 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: While some have theorized that perhaps cases will go down in summer months above a certain temperature, the reality is that when the Northern hemisphere goes into summer the Southern hemisphere goes into winter. Could we see a continuation or a resurgence do to this reality and particularly if travel reopens? How will this relate to possible resurgences in the fall of 2020 and beginning of winter in the Northern hemisphere? 13:32:53 From Nasima Selim : QUESTION: Could Dr, Missoni kindly share the source of the data on the slide, "COVID-19: All We Know By Now" 13:32:58 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: China has started reporting that people who had COVID and recovered, tested negative, then were re-infected and tested positive again. I have heard that work is being done on testing those with anti-bodies to develop a vaccine. However, if people are having new infections does that mean that having survived it does not give immunity against re-infection or does that mean that the virus has now multiple strains and the re-infection is due to exposure to the new strains? 13:33:32 From Darcy : QUESTION: People oftentimes do not believe that they will be affected as significantly as they are by the virus and may not realize the risk they are in. On the other hand, there are many cases that are asymptomatic. How can we ensure that we are not underestimating a person's susceptibility to the virus or excluding them from the "immune" group if we allow some to start going back to work? 13:34:02 From Francesco - Adriano : Thanks Davide. The only thing we are certain about is that we do know much. 13:34:40 From Francesco - Adriano : Erratum: The only thing we are certain about is that we do NOT know much. 13:35:44 From Laura Appell-Warren : QUESTION: Is anyone looking at the cross-cultural psychological responses to and impacts of COVID-19? As was mentioned in an earlier post in the US the trauma of not being with a loved one who is dying, not being able to go to a funeral and not being able to be with a partner who is giving birth are real impacts happening here in the US. 13:35:48 From Mary Hallin : Question: loss of smell and taste as a symptom--seeing in across the countries? 13:37:03 From Davide : Darcy: yes, we still do not know if immunity is acquired, at least not for ever... Francesco: yes unfortunately… it will take some time 13:37:07 From Blake P Mccabe : @ Laura https://www.apa.org/research/action/speaking-of-psychology/covid-19-mental-health https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/13561/coronavirus-disease-covid-19-psychological-behavioral-interpersonal-effects-and-clinical-implication 13:37:19 From Davide : Mary: yes, here in Italy as well, but some recovered it 13:37:26 From Camila Galan : QUESTION: Is Croatia adopting the policy of massive testing? Is/Would this be the best practice to understand infection rates and implement proper sanitary recommendations? I do ask that because here in Brazil, only patients with severe symptoms are being tested, other are officially told not to seek emergency rooms or other health care facilities. 13:37:50 From Blake P Mccabe : https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/mental-health-considerations.pdf 13:39:55 From Deon Marie Claiborne : @Blake--got the link in our resources. It will be posted with the transcript 13:42:35 From Deon Marie Claiborne : HI everyone! Thank you for coming to our webinar. I'm Deon and the Co-chair along with Kristin Hedges for the ARHE SIG. I wanted to pass along to everyone the link to our survey. We are trying to put together an expertise database for Health Emergencies. If you've done it already, no problem, but for those who are new or haven't, please click this link and take it if you'd like: https://forms.gle/qLeUvD9T5CxHXvqY9 13:43:01 From Anulekha Roy : The same - panic situation in UK 13:43:13 From kaja0071 : Hi everyone! Karine from Umeå University in Sweden here. The death rates are much higher in Sweden than the rest of Scandinavia (eg. 239 deaths vs 45 in Norway, and 110 in Denmark as of today). 13:43:21 From Laura Appell-Warren : Thanks @Blake 13:43:28 From Blake P Mccabe : yw 13:44:40 From Mary Hallin : Question: Question: are folks in Croatia practicing social distancing without government mandate? 13:45:42 From Michael Ennis-McMillan : Food security was important for Ebola too. And don't forget water security! Especially when people are expected to wash their hands. 13:46:30 From Mary Hallin : I see similarities between the COVID19 pandemic and Ebola outbreaks 13:47:09 From Michael Ennis-McMillan : Does a focus on hygiene take into account access to resources for hygiene? Or do we risk creating stigma and distress for those with water insecurity? Also important during cholera outbreaks. 13:47:52 From Mary Hallin : Question: to Sasa: should we not wear a mask like those in China to prevent droplets/spread of COVID19? 13:49:20 From Brian.Hoeft@ncc.edu : Responding to Karine, Sweden’s populations is roughly twice that of Denmark or Norway. I seek Copenhagen and Oslo metro area fatality rates to compare with Stockholm province (the latter updates on an Aftonbaldet page). As of yesterday, NYC’s deaths per capita attributed to COVID-19 was approximately two-and-a-half times that of Stockholm province. 13:49:35 From Melanie Hoste : To Mary: Currently in contact with ECDC in Europe: there are discussions still on an EU-level as to what the measures should be regarding masks as different countries have different approaches. They will be deliberating shortly on what the recommendations should be as they keep on changing. 13:50:29 From Noel B. Salazar : On the mask issue: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-airborne-go-outside-masks/609235/ 13:51:43 From Deon Marie Claiborne : Thanks Noel. 13:51:48 From kaja0071 : Thanks, Brian. I completely agree. It was with regards to Sasa's comment that the death rates are lower in Sweden than the rest of Scanidnavia, but I may have misheard him. 13:52:22 From Mary Hallin : I think we can learn from countries like Vietnam where they have been faced with SARS, etc. I believe they are wearing the masks. Also I heard messaging was much better in Vietnam. 13:52:41 From Mary Hallin : Thanks Melanie and Noel 13:55:04 From Melanie Hoste : Currently fragmented messages across Europe on protection, particularly when not infected or not presenting symptoms. Czech Republic for instance have made it mandatory to make it compulsory to wear a mask before leaving the house. Belgium and the Netherlands have no such ruling. The same for most of Europe. EU agencies are facing a lot of trouble trying to get consistent messaging to national public health authorities. 13:55:33 From aleksandra cerovac : Croatia: do you have any evidence about different level of infected people between the mainland and the seaside area? 13:55:54 From aleksandra cerovac : number of infected persons... 13:57:01 From Amena Abbas : These are very intriguing questions. We understand that social distancing works but it works better when it communicated effectively, enforced properly (with valid restrictions and without excessive force), and with the proper societal and economical safety nets to support vulnerable segments of society and support mental health. 13:59:57 From Anulekha Roy : How long is this webinar? 13:59:58 From Brian.Hoeft@ncc.edu : QUESTION... How to compare poverty-attributable fatalities in different countries, baseline in prior years? To help discern and project *excess* mortality from COVID-19 virus *and* socio-economic hardship ramifications? 14:00:05 From Juliette André : QUESTION: Following on Blake’s question of how it has been reported that people can be re-infected (whether from re-infection of the same strain or an infection of a novel strain), is the proposed separation of immunocompromised people and those who are immune (especially in regards to going back to work) an actionable and sustainable solution? 14:00:21 From Blake P Mccabe : we just reached over 6.65 million people applied for unemployment in America. Many though are unable to finish the filing and get unemployment because the online sites are crashing and requiring phone calls, but the lines are jammed. It's really bad. 14:01:04 From Camila Galan : QUESTION: on models of prevention. How can they be modified from country to country and internally, according to realistic approaches to households’ structures, water access, rural/urban areas etc? I see cards about prevention with coughing, sneezing, handwashing instructions from many countries and they are all so alike. Does everyone on Earth have water taps inside houses to handwashing? 14:01:49 From Mary Hallin : Question: following on Blake's question: were those that were reinfected were they COVID19 tested confirmed cases or just presumptive positive? 14:02:13 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: Is there data on the percentage increases in each country and in global comparison of unemployment and poverty impacts, etc. from COVID as week by week? There is a map that shows infection changes, but I am looking for something on the other impacts with statistics and perhaps a map view of these secondary impacts 14:02:37 From Ellen Estrada : Thank you, Sasa. 14:02:41 From Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov : Hvala, Sasa 14:02:43 From Davide : Mary: difficult question.. were they false negatives? or did they get infected again? 14:02:54 From vmped : Thank you Sasa 14:03:30 From Mary Hallin : good points Davide. 14:04:10 From Lynn lselby@utexas.edu : QUESTION: Are there graphic representations of COVID-19+ cases/COVID-19 sickness/hospitalizations/death that compare smaller geographic regions with comparable person to person contact (state/province, greater metropolitan areas, etc.) and so help viewers think about clusters? When I see the US represented in graphs, I fear that the impacts of the pandemic are not legible. That is, I would be interested in graphic representations that compare centers of the pandemic to one another like Lombardy vs. New York State vs. Catalunya...I don't know how Latin American and Caribbean locations would be broken up into comparable geographic areas, but I would appreciate guidance on this and how to compare Manila metropolitan area v.s. Port-au-Prince metro area vs. Kolkata metro, etc. 14:05:11 From Davide : thanks Mary.. maybe they didnt even recover fully. We do hope that former positves will at least some kind of short term immuization, but we do not know much now 14:05:33 From Estelle : The data indicates that 3/4 of infected patients require oxygen treatment. Clinical floor nurses in the States warn that this also can make droplet medium into an aerosol that can fill a room very quickly. Breathing that air is highly infectious. 14:11:08 From jeffmartin : ANNOUNCEMENT: We will be extending the webinar so that there will enough time to get to your questions after Gideon is finished. 14:11:10 From Nasima Selim : QUESTION: @Lasco: Would you think such Sinophobia is comparable with other countries? There was a significant amount of racist discourses circulating against china, a surge of SINOPHOBIA in the wake of the COVID-19. 14:11:47 From Norma Ojehomon : QUESTION: How do we envision that COVID-19 will shape global pandemic preparedness moving forward? In addition, will travel bans and screening continue beyond this pandemic and what is the line to be drawn between protecting the public on one end and xenophobic reactions on the other end. 14:13:14 From Brian.Hoeft@ncc.edu : A worthwhile 15 minutes on anti-Chinese racism in NYC: 14:13:18 From Brian.Hoeft@ncc.edu : https://www.thirteen.org/metrofocus/2020/03/exploring-hate-potential-surge-in-hate-crimes-against-asian-americans/ 14:13:30 From Anulekha Roy : No thermal scans being done in UK 14:14:56 From Deon Marie Claiborne : INFORMATION: HI everyone! Thank you for coming to our webinar. I'm Deon and the Co-chair along with Kristin Hedges for the ARHE SIG. I wanted to pass along to everyone the link to our survey. We are trying to put together an expertise database for Health Emergencies. If you've done it already, no problem, but for those who are new or haven't, please click this link and take it if you'd like: https://forms.gle/qLeUvD9T5CxHXvqY9 14:15:06 From Mary Hallin : Question: are we going to be getting to the point where health care workers are now deciding or declining treatment to vulnerable or older populations or those who have a low risk of surviving? If so, is this ethical? Human rights violation? 14:15:43 From Nasima Selim : "Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), numerous reports have described a rise in Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism around the world, with occurrences being reported in Australia (Young 2020), France (BBC 2020), Canada (Miller 2020), and many other countries (Rich 2020)." https://madeinchinajournal.com/2020/02/17/the-epidemiology-of-sinophobia/ 14:18:06 From Anulekha Roy : A database of "Health myths" will be interesting to do 14:18:14 From Mary Hallin : Question: has the role of WHO been diminished in this pandemic? As each country seems to be doing their own thing? 14:18:27 From Camila Galan : And maybe the many questions on maks here are part of the 'social ritual' of doing something, or trying to be in control. 14:19:03 From Carolyn Orbann : I've thought that the whole toilet paper panic here in the U.S. is largely an expression of displaced fears. The discussion of objects is very interesting. 14:19:11 From Anulekha Roy : Thank you 14:19:18 From Nasima Selim : @Dr Gideon Lasco: THANK YOU! 14:19:19 From Ellen Estrada : Thank you, Gideon 14:19:22 From vmped : Thank you! 14:19:23 From Cinzia Greco : Thank you! 14:19:30 From viennaeleuteri : Thanks! 14:19:48 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: Is there accurate data discussing countries that media seems to forget about? Such as Butan, Nepal, Bahrain, etc. The smaller countries that seem to be often ignored. 14:19:54 From Deon Marie Claiborne : Thank you Davide, Sasa, and Gideon 14:19:58 From Noel B. Salazar : On the toilet paper, I'm collecting "cartoons" worldwide on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/noel.b.salazar 14:20:08 From Maria Nolan : Thank you! 14:20:26 From dmicha01 : QUESTION: Did I understand correctly that the Philippines has a population of 110 million and 2,000 cases of Covid19? Thank you all for your time and knowledge. 14:20:41 From Jhanté : Thank you for your time!! 14:21:21 From Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov : thanks, Gideon 14:21:38 From Blake P Mccabe : Thank you everyone. This is my fourth AAA webinar and they are amazing. I hope you keep doing them as things are updated and continue 14:22:32 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : COMMENT: especially because of that virtual element of the pandemic, and even the expansion of social media, I think that we should not call it ‘social distancing’ but rather ‘spatial distancing’. That would represent better what it is happening and its choreographic functioning. 14:22:45 From Alice Chadwick : thanks very interesting analysis around masks as objects and shift towards test kits, masks in the UK don't seem to be so much of a thing but there has been a shift from toilet paper to test kits! 14:22:56 From Deon Marie Claiborne : HI everyone! Thank you for coming to our webinar. I'm Deon and the Co-chair along with Kristin Hedges for the ARHE SIG. I wanted to pass along to everyone the link to our survey.

Some people are more social now with virtual connections. 14:24:15 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : yes Mary, anthropology has to do that critical work starting with the language we use 14:24:33 From amanda wild : COMMENT: in boston, masks are being worn outside of healthcare setting without regard for donning and doffing protocols. They seem to be magical objects… 14:24:53 From Deon Marie Claiborne : :-D 14:25:38 From Nasima Selim : @Mary and Everyone: I am all for "physical distancing" more precise than social distancing 14:25:41 From Blake P Mccabe : My middle eastern friends think the toilet paper issue in the USA is ridiculous. lolol they are like "Why do you need TP? We use a hose, much cleaner". 14:25:57 From Blake P Mccabe : clarification on these are my friends from Afghanistan and Iran 14:25:58 From aleksandra cerovac : Question: about masks, I didn’t understand Sasa’s observation that some are not good protection , so I would like to know if a coton with a double layer of cotton is enough to protect other…in case one is infected or confirmed positive? 14:26:02 From Ellen Estrada : Why are not people hoarding soap? 14:26:06 From Mary Hallin : Davide: thoughts on why no hoarding of toilet paper in Italy?? what can we learn from Italy?? 14:26:16 From Blake P Mccabe : @ellen they are here if it's antibacterial 14:26:21 From Heike : QUESTION: to what extent is the stock piling a consequence of government intervention and communication? Argentina there wasn-t much either, yet culturally, it's probably a place where you would expect this to happen. Yet, in the UK, you hace nurses crying on video that after shift they couldn't buy any food because of stock piling. 14:26:49 From Camila Galan : QUESTION: Is anyone looking at how grocery shopping strategies are changing internationally? And how they are linked to income level by country/social classes? I think this could be interesting. 14:27:33 From jeffmartin : Posted earlier, but the Atlantic has a great article regarding masks: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-airborne-go-outside-masks/609235/ 14:27:47 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: has anyone worked on theorizing what will happen after all this is over with grocery stores and stuff, since people will have bought so much they won't need to shop as much for a while and that may hurt stores and the economy also? 14:28:25 From aleksandra cerovac : INFO about stigma: my sister from Canada confirm that even a health system workers are getting very “selfish”; in Italy we don’t have such a situation. People in Italy are very generous and therefore also the health system workers. 14:29:46 From Mary Hallin : In Italy: the folks are thinking of others...possible why no hoarding of toilet paper? 14:30:16 From Edward Liebow : And Gideon is featured in a segment of On the Media available here: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/masks-symbols-on-the-media 14:30:21 From ingat : QUESTION: are there patterns in different speakers' regions or knowledge of patterns of repurposing factories/industries/spaces for new needs? Are there more medical practitioners, perhaps pensionaires, returning to offer support to other medical practitioners? Or as Sasa said, repurposing empty hotels... 14:30:30 From Davide : Mary: I just think we do not worry much about it.. plus we have bidet :) 14:31:19 From aleksandra cerovac : food delivery is a good idea but what about the rights of the food delivery workers? How can we be sure that their supervisors will provide them with a good protection devices? 14:31:21 From Mary Hallin : Davide: how can we learn from Italy? Thanks again Davide 14:31:38 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : I am told that people in Italy stock piled food and flower (at least in my hometown :) 14:32:11 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : Sorry, flour not flower 14:32:34 From matt : nop 14:32:46 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: Can he explain that rule a bit please? 14:33:20 From Brian.Hoeft@ncc.edu : Open-access intro to a 2013 special issue on sociology of pandemics in Sociology of Health & Illness: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1467-9566.12019 14:33:21 From aleksandra cerovac : A question for Davide: what do you think about the level of immunisation that we possible will reach from this phase, in Italy? 14:33:33 From Lynn lselby@utexas.edu : QUESTION: How are you all addressing dominant narratives about hoarding, looming threats of "looting," and individual bad behavior (e.g. American students on spring break) in order to help your students, family and community members, and larger public to be 1) empowered; 2) better able to demand appropriate measures and systemic change with their local and national authorities (revendiquer) and 3) conceive of problems within an "asset" rather than deficit framework? Personally, I can spend all day being outraged by graft and corruption but I need something else. 14:33:49 From Davide : Alessandra: we cannot be certain about it so far.. 14:33:56 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : I liked the concept of patophobia (?) rather than xenophophia. 14:33:58 From Davide : we dont have realible data about immunization 14:34:08 From Anne Garella : QUESTION: how can he separation btw young/ strong immune ones and elderly/poor immunity ones can be enforced? community engagement was key in Ebola crisis 14:34:21 From Deon Marie Claiborne : The webinars make great Extra Credit for students :-) 14:34:26 From Davide : Anne: taking blood sampes and checking Ig 14:34:27 From Rajko Mursic : Thank you all! 14:34:45 From Jeremy : Thank you! 14:34:47 From Anne Garella : thanks ! 14:34:51 From matt : thank you davide barbieri 14:34:55 From viennaeleuteri : Very well done! Thank you so uch 14:35:02 From Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov : thanks everyone 14:35:26 From Cinzia Greco : Thank you very much! Very interesting webinar! 14:35:33 From aleksandra cerovac : @Sinibaldo De Rosa patophobia sounds well! 14:35:38 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : I recommend checking the work of Florida-based Italian virologist Ilaria Capua, lots of stuff also online. Listening to her clarified a lot the global situation for me. 14:35:52 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : Alexandra, I think Davide suggested it 14:35:57 From Maddie Fussell : Thank you so much for having this webinar. Hearing voices other than my housemate's is oddly relaxing and reassuring. 14:36:00 From Blake P Mccabe : sinibaldo- do you have a website to her work? 14:37:01 From MariaC : Thanks for this webinar! About the thermo scanners, in Romania (where I am from) as far as I know these are only used at the airport. 14:37:12 From Ellen Estrada : If you are immunosuppressed, fever is not an indication of an infection. 14:37:20 From amanda wild : Thank you to all speakers, organisers, and participants 14:37:54 From gdunkley : AAA also has a COVID-19 Resources webpage that is updated regularly https://www.americananthro.org/covid-19 14:38:10 From Blake P Mccabe : @ ellen so true. Fever is a sign of a healthy immune system fighting. Those who are immunocompromised by definition don't have a healthy immune system so it can't be based on have or don't have fever 14:38:27 From Heike : QUESTION to all: here, in Argentina, the authorities warn of the problems with the rapid tests that are emerging on the market. Any thoughts on the potential for false readings resulting from governments panic-buying (UK for example) of these rapid tests from the perspective of the global pandemic? 14:38:50 From aleksandra cerovac : In Croatia is very easy distancing because there just in 4 mil people so outside of Zagreb area it is easy to respect the distancing. 14:39:22 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : For Blake and everyone, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9E1vUlXAM 14:39:26 From Blake P Mccabe : tnx 14:39:54 From aleksandra cerovac : In Italy is more difficult to respect distancing as there are more inhabitants per square meter. 14:39:59 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : She is very present at the moment on Italian TV, but the link I sent is a lecture for biology students in English 14:40:35 From Davide : yes, density of population is Always an issue in pandemics 14:40:45 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION: Is there anyone that can speak on India? as a country, it is one of the most difficult to deal with social distancing and has such a high rate of poverty. They are getting hit hard 14:41:48 From amanda wild : In Boston area basketball nets have been tied up, and some nature habitats have been closed. These are spaces where people who are living alone can get some mental and physical relief, I think it is misguided. A lot of people shoot hoops solo to think/destress…. Same for walking in nature 14:42:03 From Edward Liebow : We are planning an update that will include additional locations. If you want to send Kristin or me your suggestions on individuals from India or other locales, please do (Eliebow@americananthro.org) 14:42:32 From aleksandra cerovac : QUESTION: Does anyone has the answer on why in Western Countries there is no global or streets or some Air Disinfection? 14:42:37 From Mary Hallin : Question: Following up on Blake's question: As countries in Sub=-Saharan Africa are also getting hit hard and could be future hotspots 14:44:10 From Julia Hanebrink : The maximum group meeting numbers in Uganda are lower than the average household size. 14:44:14 From Claudia O : Social distancing is a privilege for the poor 14:45:11 From Dada Docot : QUESTION for Gideon Lasco: The problem of the pandemic in the Philippines goes beyond the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 but seems to fold in with HR rights violations wrought by the Duterte regime's authoritarianism supported by China's militarization in the Philippines. How do you see the Philippines going forward with these conditions? 14:45:13 From Ellen Estrada : And distinctions between white collar workers who are able to work from home and those in the supermarkets and still working are at risk. 14:45:23 From vfisacks@gmail.com : Ok but that advise assumes the person doesn't have underlying chronic health issues. But also for some becoming fatter is less of a health risk than the outdoors just in general let alone COVID-19 14:45:25 From Blake P Mccabe : Question: Has there been any study or data on rural populations that are not usually participants in modern tech and medicine, such as Amish in America or rural tribes in North Africa, rural villages in China and Afghanistan, etc.? 14:45:34 From Heike : The other problems are homeless, shanty-towns, and poorer neighbourhoods, which is a big concern for the authorities in Argentina 14:45:48 From Brian.Hoeft@ncc.edu : The mayor of Oslo asks today that city residents tighten further to “reduce footsteps” outside the home. This is in Norway, a country doing relatively well on COVID-19 fatalities per capita. 14:47:08 From Ellen Estrada : This is increasing perceptions and reality of inequality in places where protests last year bought attention to this, such as Chile. 14:47:19 From aleksandra cerovac : DO YOU AGREE: definitely these are the right times to empower the Health System Policies and Systems around the Globe? 14:47:42 From Nasima Selim : COMMENT: COVID-19 brings out decades of austerity politics that left health systems unprepared. The cause is NOT increased number of people but such AUSTERITZ measures 14:47:44 From Blake P Mccabe : Aleksandra: empower in what way and to what level? 14:47:56 From Dada Docot : Social distancing is not a choice for many immigrant and underprivileged families. 14:47:57 From ingat : QUESTION: in India, as I understand,, many in "middle classes" are responsible for hiring workers to maintain the household, and as nannies, etc. Maybe there is a loss of employment for those workers. Can anyone perhaps in a future webinar, speak to that societal and economic effect? 14:48:04 From Lynn lselby@utexas.edu : QUESTION: How are we distinguishing shelter-in-place from quarantine? Where are governments instituting security measures that are harmful to people and do not help with physical distancing, food supplies, and medical rationing? Haiti has had a curfew from 8pm to 5am in the last couple of weeks. Dr. Lasco 14:48:46 From Nasima Selim : @Davide: Blaming it on increased number of people is taking attention away from decades of austerity politics, not enough investments in health systems, and structural inequality 14:48:49 From Gideon Lasco : To Dada - yes absolutely! The pandemic is highly political and my fear is that it will be used - as people say it’s already - to stifle dissent. However, unlike the drug war which has limited impact (e.g. mostly the poor), the pandemic affects everyone so we might also see much more backlash with gov’t incompetent/cruel responses 14:48:51 From Heike : There is the other problem: informal labour. Countries with largescale informal economy are often the poorer countries and have to either find ways to economically support these sectors, very difficult for most, or risk that the quarantine doesn't work. 14:49:32 From vfisacks@gmail.com : Not to mention several recent medical anthropology studies have shown that in such cases an obese person who exercises regularly is often healthier than a regular weight person who doesn't. I'm not anti-exercise but sometimes under these circumstances those persons might be better off exercising home alone. 14:50:27 From aleksandra cerovac : more than now for example in Europe: we know that in most European western countries the health system facilities are very good but in last 20 years all over we decreased the budget for health 14:50:31 From Blake P Mccabe : so true. our first death in my town was someone who wasn't tested until post-mortem 14:51:09 From Heike : QUESTION: what are your thoughts regarding coming out of quarantine? 14:51:35 From aleksandra cerovac : so I am really worry for other countries where already there is no equal health care for everybody. 14:51:40 From Blake P Mccabe : me 2 14:52:04 From vfisacks@gmail.com : We don't want fatphobia & sizeism to increase either as that also creates health issues of the mental health variety. 14:52:30 From Lynn lselby@utexas.edu to AAA Web(Privately) : Thank you for all of the great work. I don't anticipate that my questions will be answered during the limited time we have together. You are modeling wonderful facilitation and time management skills. 14:52:31 From Davide : to vfisacks: yes, health comes from exercising rather than from being lean because of low caloric diet 14:52:42 From Blake P Mccabe : but what about the reinfections reported out of China? 14:52:51 From Blake P Mccabe : QUESTION 14:52:57 From vfisacks@gmail.com : "so true. our first death in my town was someone who wasn't tested until post-mortem" 😳😢 14:53:05 From Gideon Lasco : To Lynn — here, “community quarantine” is defined as the general public not being allowed to leave their houses except to buy food/medicine, and only essential services staff being allowed to work. 14:54:32 From Heike : We don't know whether they are cases of reinfections or false positives. There are conerncs that people can continue to transmit the virus long after, that it continues longer in the intestines, so you can test negative from throat and nose swaps, but if the rectum isn't tested (when usually hasn't happened), then that can produce a false positive. 14:54:45 From Heike : sorry, false negatives. 14:54:57 From Blake P Mccabe : ah k. tnx 14:55:42 From utente : many thanks to you!!! 14:55:49 From aleksandra cerovac : Davide: well said, so the recommendation could be to spread the word and educate population of each country on eating, sleeping and exercise regularly! 14:55:57 From vfisacks@gmail.com : "to vfisacks: yes, health comes from exercising rather than from being lean because of low caloric diet" thank you ... 14:56:09 From aleksandra cerovac : so the immune system remain strong! 14:56:16 From Sinibaldo De Rosa : Heike, virologist Ilaria Capua seem to have suggested that the gender factor should be consider when suggesting models of how to end the quarantene.. womem seem to be much safer than men and not so easily affected - if I remember right, only one of 3 of those who died in Italy are women 14:56:16 From Gideon Lasco : I am leaving - it’s 3 am here! - but please feel free to email me at glasco@inquirer.com.ph if anyone has questions! Many thanks! 14:56:26 From Deon Marie Claiborne : Thank you everyone. HI everyone! Thank you for coming to our webinar. I wanted to pass along to everyone the link to our survey.
