That equals roughly 62% of allocated dollars, up from 48% allocated on Friday. Applications for the program are continuing to flood in, with an additional 219,000 submitted since Friday. • President Donald Trump declared Monday that he has the power to “open up” states and relax social-distancing practices adopted to combat the coronavirus outbreak, not governors. o He didn’t elaborate on how he reached his conclusion. The Trump administration issued guidance March 16 recommending Americans isolate themselves from one another to curb the spread of the virus, days after many governors, municipal leaders, businesses and families had already adopted the practices themselves. • Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said this morning on the "Today" show that the US needs to reopen carefully and gradually when asked about concerns of a second wave of coronavirus infections. o Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the United States is "nearing the peak right now" of the coronavirus pandemic. • US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said some of the US hot spots in the coronavirus pandemic — New York, New Jersey, Detroit and New Orleans — appear to be seeing Covid-19 cases "leveling off" or even going down.

While the Defense Department has invested heavily and made strides in treating chronic pain, expanding efforts to track how service members are doing after they receive care would be a step forward, Rand said. “Accurately measuring the quality of pain treatment is an es- sential step toward improving care,” it said.

  • Chapter 6 Crisis Communication
    The Independent Investigation Commission on the Japanese Government’s Response to COVID-19: Report on Best Practices and Lessons Learned Part III Best practices and challenges Chapter 6 Crisis communication The most effective message to encourage “self-restraint” and response to public anxiety, discontent and criticism The “analysis and recommendations” released April 1 by the government’s Expert Meeting on the Novel Coronavirus Disease Control cited a change in citizens’ behavior as a key component of the “Japan model” to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. A key to the efforts to fight the novel coronavirus were the messages released by the government to prompt people at large to change their behavior to reduce the infection risk, such as voluntary restraint on nonurgent outings and avoiding the “Three Cs” (closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings). What also became important was for the government, in order to prevent confusion among citizens and seek their cooperation with countermeasures for the disease, to explain the situation to address public anxiety, discontent and criticism, such as by accounting for the poor access to PCR tests for the virus, and to send out messages for resolving the problems. In this chapter, we define these two as “crisis communication.” Several research and data indicate that the messages sent out via the government’s news conferences and other channels contributed to a change in citizens’ behavior, thus reducing the effective reproduction number of novel coronavirus infections, but that public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages was not necessarily positive. Based on such an analysis, this chapter tries to explore the messages that contributed to people’s behavioral change (best practice) and the factors that lowered public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages (challenges).

  • H202104788 Response (Pdf, 212
    133 Molesworth Street 7 May 2021 PO Box 5013 Wellington 6140 New Zealand T+64 4 496 2000 Dear Response to your request for official information Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 21 April 2021 for COVID-19 information. A copy of your full request is enclosed for reference. It appears you are asking the Ministry to comment on evidence that COVID-19 exists, whether social distancing and wearing of face coverings are effective in stopping the transmission of COVID-19, the accuracy of PCR testing, as well as the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine. While the Act enables people to request official information from the Ministry, it only applies to information it holds. There is no obligation to create information in order to respond to requests, nor is the Ministry obliged to provide an opinion. This query appears to be efforts to engage in a debate about the merits of the Government’s response to COVID-19, rather than a legitimate request to the Ministry for official information. The Act does not support requests in which a requester quotes information and then seeks some form of comment on it, couched as a request for official information. Therefore, I am refusing parts one to seven, nine, 11 to 13 and 17 of your request under section 18(g)(i) of the Act, as the information requested is not held by the Ministry and there are no grounds for believing it is held by another agency subject to the Act.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE 2020 Prime Minister’s Science Communication Prize An Epidemiologist behind New Zealand’s eliminate Covid-19 strategy wins Prime Minister’s Science Communication Prize Professor Michael Baker MNZM, an epidemiologist with the University of Otago, Wellington has won the 2020 Prime Minister’s Science Communication Prize. He is a Professor of Public Health, Director of the Health Environment Infection Research Unit, and Leader of Co-Search, a Health Research Council funded group conducting multi-disciplinary research to support the Covid-19 response. Michael has been New Zealand’s go-to science expert since the start of the pandemic. He has done more than 2,000 interviews since January 2020, contributing over 30% of the total science outputs recorded for the 70 commentators tracked by the Science Media Centre. Michael describes the period at the start of March 2020 just before New Zealand went into lockdown as the “the most intense period of my working life”. He says he had developed the concept of Covid-19 elimination and concluded that it was the optimal response strategy. He also concluded that New Zealand needed an intense lockdown to stamp out the virus and give the country time to build the capacity to manage the pandemic. Michael promoted these ideas actively through multiple forms of science communication in early March and was hugely relieved when they were adopted by the Government. “With this pandemic I felt absolutely compelled to communicate because at some points I thought New Zealand was heading off a cliff, particularly a year ago when we were at a real crossroads on whether we would continue following the rest of the Western world—which seemed to me absolutely the wrong direction—or would forge a different direction which has become the Asia Pacific approach to eliminating this virus, so that’s one of the things that drove me.

  • The Sociology of a Pandemic Countering a COVID ‘Disinfodemic’ with a Campus Media Initiative
    CLIMATE CRISIS AND CORONAVIRUS The sociology of a pandemic Countering a COVID ‘disinfodemic’ with a campus media initiative Abstract: Parallel with the global spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic, a dangerous ‘disinfodemic’ has been infecting the flow of information world- wide. Communication and media outlets have faced a new challenge with not only being responsible for reportage and analysis of a fast-moving public health emergency—the biggest this century, but forced to sift through the mass circulation of falsehoods that have spread as rapidly as the virus. Concerned about the risks for both health and public responses to disinformation, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres identified the ‘new enemy’ as a ‘growing surge of disinformation’. The UN launched a COVID-19 Com- munications for Solidarity Initiative to rapidly inform people about facts and science and to ‘promote and inspire acts of humanity’ globally. Also alarmed by the growing disinformation trend, the World Health Organisation warned that the ‘same enemy’ also involved ‘an increase in stigma, hate speech and hate crimes’ over the pandemic. Aotearoa New Zealand is one of the few coun- tries in the world whose strategy of COVID elimination has been a sustained approach to ‘keep the virus out, find it and stamp it out’. Evoking a theme of ‘our team of five million’ and national kindness, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has led a remarkable campaign blending decisive action and trans- parency. As at October 25, the country has had only 22 deaths from the first wave of the pandemic and with a second wave cluster in August three further deaths and a combined total of 1935 cases with 260 having been contained in quarantine or managed isolation at the border.
