HOW REMBRANDT, TITIAN AND CARAVAGGIO TACKLED PESTILENCE Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 1:28PMThursday, March 19, 2020by S. Abbas Raza
Jonathan Jones in _The Guardian_: Detail of Humana Fragilitas (Human Frailty), circa 1657, by Salvator Rosa. Photograph: DEA/A Dagli Orti/Getty Images/DeAgostini It seems incredible that we should find common cause with the people of 500 years ago, who faced disease without any understanding or remotely adequate treatment. But on Sunday, Pope Francis walked the streets of Rome, left empty by coronavirus, to visit the church of San Marcello on the Corso – and revere a cross that supposedly protected Rome from plague in 1522. We now find ourselves in the same plight – menaced by an illness that seems to have the upper hand and that is turning our assumptions upside down. Even the methods being used, including quarantine, come from that plagued past. As does much of Europe’s greatest art. These masterpieces might console us, or make us see this unfamiliar moment in a new light, or even give us practical ideas to cope. Here are some of those images, perhaps to be used as guides – for Rembrandt, Titian and
Caravaggio trod this path before us.More here

VICTORIAN TECHNOLOGY Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 11:25AMby Morgan Meis
Marta Figlerowicz at _Public Books_: In the late 19th century—as in the early 21st century—ordinary people were swept up in the new craze of portrait photography. “Our loathsome society rushed, like Narcissus,” writes Charles Baudelaire, “to contemplate its trivial image on a metallic plate.” It’s easy to laugh at this sentence, both at how familiar and how distant it sounds today. Baudelaire’s disgust does echo our contemporary gripes about iPhones and selfie sticks. And yet, it does so in a loftier, more genteel idiom. Baudelaire’s unintended proto-image of the smartphone (as a steampunk “metallic plate”) carries Romantic force. The quotation—like, perhaps, the selfie itself—seems to capture a crucial, undefinable moment: the split second of our loss of technological innocence.more here .

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY: “ENGLAND IN 1819” Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 11:21AMby Morgan Meis
Christopher Spaide at _Poetry Magazine_: One of English’s great, scornful, scorching political poems was premiered in an unassuming place: the postscript of a letter: “What a state England is in! But you will never write politics.” It was December 1819, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, then 27, was writing another pushily impassioned letter to Leigh Hunt, a poet, a radical, and the founding editor of the_ Examiner_. Since 1818, Shelley and his wife, the novelist Mary Shelley, had been restless expatriates in Italy, never in any one city for long. Dead by drowning three years later, he never revisited his home country and never quite escaped its orbit, gravitationally tugged back by England’s tumultuous politics. However desperate for Hunt’s dispatches (“_Why _don’t you write to us?” the letter opens), Shelley, never afraid to speak his mind, thought his friend deserved a “scolding”: “I wish, then, that you would write a paper in the _Examiner,_ on the actual state of the country, and what, under all the circumstances of the conflicting passions and interests of men, we are to expect.” Surely Shelley meant _wish_ wholeheartedly, but he was also setting up Hunt for a surprise present, which he introduced, with coy calm, in his postscript. “I send you a s_onnet_. I do not expect you to publish it, but you may show it to whom you please.”more here

JULIE ANDREWS’S POST-POPPINS LIFE Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 11:13AMby Morgan Meis
Lindsay Zoladz at _Bookforum_: On screen and off, Edwards came to see something in Andrews that Kael—and other critics like her—could not. Underneath her wimple, as the nuns say of Maria, Andrews had curlers in her hair. Yes, in nearly every role she comports herself like the queen of some imaginary, borderless kingdom. But there is also an odd tension beneath the surface of Andrews’s most ostensibly wholesome performances—the kind that can drive a viewer to all sorts of wild speculation about what Mary Poppins gets up to on her days off, and that can inspire an entire volume of queer theory that hinges upon a dissident reading of the boyish Maria von Trapp (see: Stacy Wolf’s 2002 _A Problem Like Maria: Gender and Sexuality in the American Musical_). Pinning down the hidden complexities and contradictions of Andrews’s stardom is a bit like holding a moonbeam in your hand. As composer and broadcaster Neil Brand put it to _The Guardian_ last year, Andrews may just be “the politest rebel in all cinema.”more here

NO PATIENT IS AN ISLAND Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 9:56AMby Azra Raza
Anita Ho in _Aeon:_ ‘I wouldn’t show them the note,’ a retired nurse, told my mother. It was a request to meet with my father’s physicians. He had undergone a cardiac surgery, and soon after became lethargic and difficult to rouse. The nurses thought he was simply fatigued from his procedure, and my mother didn’t want to question their professional judgment. Two days later, my father suffered an acute respiratory failure and was rushed to the intensive care unit (ICU). He was intubated and remained dependent on a respirator for days. The nurses told my mother that the doctors were considering a tracheostomy, but up to that point no ICU physician (called an ‘intensivist’) had so much as talked to my family. Intensivists were not at the bedside during the limited visiting hours and, as they rotated, a series of different intensivists attended to my father. So my mother was left to wait outside the ICU in the remote chance that she would run into my father’s doctor, but nobody told her the name of the attending physician _du jour_, and the doctors’ faces were often hidden behind surgical masks as they walked the halls. So, with my help, she had drawn up the note, requesting a meeting. But it was to no avail. ‘The doctors might think your family is difficult,’ the nurse said. I wondered why the doctors didn’t hold a family meeting to discuss my father’s prognosis and clinical options. While my mother wanted to speak to at least one of the intensivists, attempts to make appointments were met with reluctance. The nurses said the doctors were busy, that they had to uphold patient privacy and confidentiality. My mother started to blame herself for not insisting on further investigation regarding my father’s lethargy, and she was anxious about the lack of information. Worse, the insinuation that she would be bothering the busy clinicians for wanting a meeting with them intimidated her. She was sternly warned by a nurse not to overstay the visiting hours. I am a bioethicist who has worked alongside clinicians in supporting patients and families making complex and rending care decisions. I have seen how physicians are bombarded with demands. Meeting with families requires not only coordination but energy: it is emotionally draining for clinicians to share grim prognoses with patients and families.More here

COULD CONSCIOUSNESS BE A BRAIN PROCESS? Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 9:48AMby Azra Raza
John Heil in _IAI News:_ Why is consciousness so perplexing to so many? Perhaps, owing to our _being_ conscious, we regard ourselves as experts on the matter, and it seems to us blindingly obvious that consciousness could not possibly be a brain state or process. We have a front-row seat, an unmediated first-hand awareness of what conscious experiences are like, and we know well-enough what brain processes are like. The two could not be more different. In the hands of philosophers, this sentiment is transmuted into the doctrine that consciousness cannot be identified with, or ‘reduced to’, anything physical. The reduction in question must be a relation among explanations, or predicates, not as it is sometimes cast, a relation among properties. What would it be to reduce something to something _else_? If the _A_s are not reducible to the _B_s, explanations of the _A_s could not be derived from explanations of the _B_s, nor could _A_-terms be analysed or paraphrased in a _B_-vocabulary. Why does our confidence in the outré character of consciousness not extend to tables and trees? Take tables. We know what tables are like, and we know what physics reveals about their makeup. Individual tables are solid, coloured, smooth to the touch, but physics tells us that tables are, as Eddington put it, mostly empty space sparsely populated by colourless particles. Or tables might turn out to be perturbations in fields, thickenings in spacetime, or something stranger still. We are content to leave it to physics to discover the nature of whatever it is that makes assertions about individual tables true, thereby telling us what those tables _are_. Our inability to extract truths about tables from truths about particles or fields is unremarkable: tables are, in this regard, irreducible. What would be remarkable is someone’s insisting that from this it follows that tables could not possibly be clouds of particles or disturbances in fields, because tables obviously differ from such things. Claims to the effect that tables ‘arise’ or ‘emerge’ from clouds of particles or perturbations in fields, while more common, would be no lessremarkable.
Why not think the same of consciousness? Why not think that neuroscience, and ultimately physics, might eventually reveal the nature of whatever makes particular ascriptions of consciousness true, what consciousness _is_? Two shibboleths bar the way.More here

SEAN CARROLL HAS A SPECIAL MINDSCAPE PODCAST: TARA SMITH ON CORONAVIRUS, PANDEMICS, AND WHAT WE CAN DO Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 2:54AMby S. Abbas Raza
Sean Carroll in _Preposterous Universe_: This is a special episode of Mindscape, thrown together quickly. Many thanks to Tara Smith for joining me on short notice. Tara is an epidemiologist, and a great person to talk to about the novel coronavirus (and its associated disease, COVID-19) pandemic currently threatening the world. We talk about what viruses are, how they spread, and a lot of the science behind virology and pandemics. We also take a practical turn, talking about what measures (washing hands, social distancing, self-isolation) are useful at combating the spread of the virus, and which (wearing masks) are probably not. Then we look to the future, to ask what the endgame here is; Tara suggests that the kind of drastic measure we are currently putting up with might last a long time indeed.More here

SOME UNOFFICIAL ADVICE FROM ITALY Posted on Thursday, Mar 19, 2020 2:17AMThursday, March 19, 2020by S. Abbas Raza
BY S. ABBAS RAZA
I
have been in lockdown for some time and one gets used to it. You should stay home too now, as much as possible. Since I live in northern Italy, a few friends in America have privately asked me if I have any advice for them as America now heads for the situation Italy has been facing. Most recently, my friend Anna Hall wrote this, “Are you ok Abbas? We are about to follow Italy into this abyss — suggestions for sanity and humanity welcome.” Okay, then, here is my personal, non-expert advice based on my experience so far: • Stay calm but be concerned: this is probably the greatest single challenge the world has faced in our lifetimes. Decisions made in a panic are not good, so meditate, take your anti-anxiety medication, and don’t keep reading everything about Corona all day every day—I did that for a couple of days and then I couldn’t sleep. It is very important to pay attention to one’s mental well-being at this time, as well as physical. • It is best to get serious advice and information from reputable scientific sources, _not_ friends, family, or Facebook. Go here forsome resources
.
• Stay at home. Buy groceries for at least a week at a time (two if you can do that) and then don’t be tempted to run out for that one brand of potato chips you suddenly have a craving for. _Now is the time to be disciplined about this._ As one doctor advised, behave as if you have the virus and don’t want to give it to others. • A good way to make a comprehensive grocery list is to walk through each room in your house with a pad and pen and look around carefully and see what you might run out of in the next week or two. This way, I remembered to buy shaving blades when I was in the bathroom looking around, for example, which I would have forgotten otherwise. Same happened with laundry detergent in the laundry room, etc. • Convince others to take the problem seriously and insist that they cancel plans for socializing, travel, etc. Do this calmly and without getting worked up, otherwise they will dismiss what you say as the product of irrational fear. This will only work if we all do it.Obviously.
• Avoid public transport and walk if you can. Driving a car is also better than public transport, for once. • The natural tendency is to want to visit one’s parents and other family in a time like this. _Don’t._ Instead Skype with them and keep in touch more than normal through phone, email, social media, and every way except actually being there. Everyone needs reassurance these days, and it’s nice for people who love you to hear yourvoice.
• Just in case, make a plan with your family about what you will do if one of you gets sick. Better to do this while calm and healthy thanin a panic.
• Use this time to exercise more (we’ve been playing a lot of ping pong because we have a table at home), read, do stuff you’ve been putting off that can be done at home. Or just watch TV. That’s goodtoo.
• I’ve also found that being extra clean and keeping the house spic and span helps a lot psychologically to ward off thoughts ofdisease.
• I asked my wife what she would advise people to do and she said, 1) Structure your day and have a schedule, 2) Buy hand cream because all this washing dries hands out, 3) Buy a variety of foods to store as you get sick of eating the same things, 4) Take an online course. • Be extra kind to everyone and remain patient and avoid emotional outbursts. And stay home if you can! Be well, and be safe.8 Comments
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 2020 YUVAL NOAH HARARI: IN THE BATTLE AGAINST CORONAVIRUS, HUMANITY LACKSLEADERSHIP
Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 12:32PMby S. Abbas Raza
Yuval Noah Harari in _Time_: Photo shows a scene in the influenza Camp at Lawrence, Maine, in 1918 where patients are given fresh air treatment. this extreme measure was hit upon as the best way of curbing the epidemic. Patients are required to live in these camps until cured. Many people blame the coronavirus epidemic on globalization, and say that the only way to prevent more such outbreaks is to de-globalize the world. Build walls, restrict travel, reduce trade. However, while short-term quarantine is essential to stop epidemics, long-term isolationism will lead to economic collapse without offering any real protection against infectious diseases. Just the opposite. The real antidote to epidemic is not segregation, but rather cooperation. Epidemics killed millions of people long before the current age of globalization. In the 14th century there were no airplanes and cruise ships, and yet the Black Death spread from East Asia to Western Europe in little more than a decade. It killed between 75 million and 200 million people – more than a quarter of the population of Eurasia. In England, four out of ten people died. The city of Florence lost 50,000 of its 100,000 inhabitants. In March 1520, a single smallpox carrier – Francisco de Eguía – landed in Mexico. At the time, Central America had no trains, buses or even donkeys. Yet by December a smallpox epidemic devastated the whole of Central America, killing according to some estimates up to a thirdof its population.

SOCIAL DISTANCING IS HERE TO STAY FOR MUCH MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 12:27PMby S. Abbas Raza
Gideon Lichfield in the _MIT Technology Review_: To stop coronavirus we will need to radically change almost everything we do: how we work, exercise, socialize, shop, manage our health, educate our kids, take care of family members. We all want things to go back to normal quickly. But what most of us have probably not yet realized—yet will soon—is that things won’t go back to normal after a few weeks, or even a few months. Some things never will. It’s now widely agreed (even by Britain, finally)
that every country needs to “flatten the curve”: impose socialdistancing
to
slow the spread of the virus so that the number of people sick at once doesn’t cause the health-care system to collapse, as it is threatening to do in Italy right now. That means the pandemic needs to last, at a low level, until either enough people have had Covid-19 to leave most immune (assuming immunity lasts for years, which wedon’t know
)
or there’s a vaccine. How long would that take, and how draconian do social restrictions need to be? Yesterday President Donald Trump, announcing new guidelines such as a 10-person limit on gatherings, said that “with several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly.” In China, six weeks of lockdown are beginning to easenow
that new cases have fallen to a trickle. But it won’t end there. As long as someone in the world has the virus, breakouts can and will keep recurring without stringent controls to contain them.More here

AN OPTIMIST’S CASE FOR COVID-19 LOCKDOWN, OUR SAFEST AND QUICKEST PATH BACK TO NORMALCY Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 12:18PMby S. Abbas Raza
Jonathan Kay in _Quillette_: The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared COVID-19—the acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus—a pandemic.
And almost everywhere you look, the data appear to show a frightening exponential rise in new cases. As I write this, on March 17th, the latest available reports show that confirmed cases have doubled in Italy over the last five days. In Spain, the most recent doubling period has been just three days. In France, Germany, Switzerland, the United States, the UK, and Netherlands, the figures are four, three, three, five, three, and four respectively. When these facts are presented in graph form, the vertiginous lines suggest a world feverishly coughing its way into apocalypse. But assuming that governments act responsibly, and absent some horrifying SARS-CoV-2 mutation, there will be no apocalypse. Stock markets and economies will suffer greatly. But even this damage can be mitigated through decisive action. The more aggressively that our leaders act to suppress the spread of COVID-19, the more quickly the crisis will pass, and the sooner we will all be able to return to normal daily life. The decisions we make now could mean the difference between a global recession and a historical event on par with TheGreat Depression.
The good news is that we definitely _can_ suppress COVID-19, even if no cure or effective vaccine emerges. We know this because it already has been done in the most populous country on Earth.More here

WHAT MONTY PYTHON’S MINISTRY OF SILLY WALKS CAN TEACH US ABOUT PEERREVIEW
Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 12:14PMby S. Abbas Raza
Jennifer Ouellette in _Ars Technica_: One of the best-known sketches from _Monty Python’s Flying Circus_ features John Cleese as a bowler-hatted bureaucrat with the fictional Ministry of Silly Walks. It’s a
classic of physical comedy, right up there with the troupe’s DeadParrot sketch
(“This parrot has ceased to be!”) in terms of culturalsignificance.
A pair of scientists at Dartmouth College have performed a gait analysis of the various silly walks on display, publishing their findings in a new paperin
the journal Gait and Posture. It’s intended in part as a commemoration on the 50-year anniversary of the sketch but also to draw attention to the need for a more streamlined peer review process for grants in the health sciences. The two authors, Erin Butler and Nathaniel Dominy, are married, having met 12 years ago at Stanford. (Butler was a TA for a class where Dominy gave a lecture on the evolution of bipedalism.) Dominy is the Monty Python fan. “So, put together a Monty Python fan with a creative scientific mind and an expert in gait analysis, and this paper is what you get,” Butler told Ars. Or, as they wrote in their paper, “It really is the silliness of the sketch that resonates with us, and extreme silliness seems more relevant now than ever before in this increasingly Pythonesque world.”More here

READING ALBERT CAMUS’S ‘THE PLAGUE’ Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 11:34AMby Morgan Meis
Liesl Schillinger at _Lit Hub_: Usually a question like this is theoretical: What would it be like to find your town, your state, your country, shut off from the rest of the world, its citizens confined to their homes, as a contagion spreads, infecting thousands, and subjecting thousands more to quarantine? How would you cope if an epidemic disrupted daily life, closing schools, packing hospitals, and putting social gatherings, sporting events and concerts, conferences, festivals and travel planson indefinite hold?
In 1947, when he was 34, Albert Camus, the Algerian-born French writer (he would win the Nobel Prize for Literature ten years later, and die in a car crash three years after that) provided an astonishingly detailed and penetrating answer to these questions in his novel _ThePlague_ .

THE ULTIMATE QUARANTINE READ Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 10:35AMby Morgan Meis
Sarah Neilson at _The Seattle Times_: The words social distancing have already defined 2020, and everyone is already tired of them (and coronavirus, for that matter).
Despite how terrible it feels to not be close to people, this is what community care looks like right now.
Luckily, books still exist, and can be their own vehicle for connection. And what better reading material for right now than books where the characters are, in some way, alone? None of these are dystopian (at least not in the traditional sense), but are instead characterized by protagonists with complex interior lives who are either isolated (in some way that’s not about a contagion) or fiercely independent, or both. Happy introverting, readers! “MY MORNINGLESS MORNINGS” by Stefany Anne Golberg If you’re ready to get cerebral while also being hypnotized by prose, this slim memoir is perfect. Golberg writes about isolating herself in the night, rejecting the world’s attachment to day. The dark brings on all kinds of meditation on psychology, death, art and what it means to be awake. This might be the ultimate quarantine read.more here

NO CONSTITUTION FOR OLD PRESIDENTS Posted on Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 9:07AMby Azra Raza
Robinson Jr. and Melton Jr. in _The Atlantic:_ Old age, said the ancient Greek philosopher Bion of Borysthenes, is “the harbour of all ills; at least they all take refuge there.” While the quotation is obviously nothing new, some things do change, among these society’s pace of life and its knowledge of aging. In the past two centuries we’ve seen more change in these areas than in the law designed to protect America from the dangers of elderly presidents. Given the current crop of presidential contenders, the law’s failure to keep up may very well erupt into both a political and a constitutional crisis in the not-so-distant future. The original Constitution did provide for presidents who grew unable to carry out the duties of the office. Under Article II, Section 1, in the event of a president’s “inability to discharge the powers and duties” of the presidency, the vice president would take over. But this short passage skirts over several pitfalls. One of the biggest was first raised in the 1787 Constitutional Convention by John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware. Addressing an early draft of the provision, which had slightly different wording, he asked twoquestions
that
still plague the country today: “What is the extent of the term ‘disability,’” he asked, “& who is to be the judge of it?” So far as anyone knows, his questions went unanswered by his fellowdelegates.
Presidential inability hasn’t exactly been a rarity. Beginning with George Washington, who nearly died of a monthlong bout of pneumoniaa
few months into his presidency, a number of chief executives have been incapacitated, from periods ranging from a few hours to several weeks. In 1881, President James A. Garfield, mortally wounded by an assassin, lingered for two and a half months before dying. In 1919, Woodrow Wilson suffered a major stroke, which
permanently altered his cognitive functioning. During his final years, Franklin D. Roosevelt was suffering badly enough from cardiovasculardisease to cause
his top subordinates severe worry before his death, from a cerebral hemorrhage, and in 1981 Ronald Reagan was under general anesthesia for a time following John Hinckley’s assassination attempt. There aremany more examples.
