ISOLATED PAGES #25

ISOLATED COMMENTS:

Leonie Rosenstiel said: "Thanks so much for persevering with this effort. Your emails always make me smile. I heartily agree with Winston Churchill (and you). Paraprosdokians rule!
Norma Libman said: "thanks for continuing this newsletter. So important. What I’ve learned from the quarantine is that I NEEDED to slow down and probably would never have done it on my own. But I don’t want it to last forever."
Joanne Bodin said: "I look forward to your book Co-op newsletters so much. They remind me of a world out there that we all were involved in at one time. I think this new reality has finally sunk into my subconscious and I'm beginning to realize this is the new Norm for a while. For me life is pretty much down to the basics. Most of my energy is used up with trying to figure out how to ... clean. I realize everybody is going through the same thing and it's a matter of hanging in there until they get some kind of a cure or treatment for the virus.
Jonathan Miller said: "you and Barbe didn't just create the NM Book Co-op, you created a book community. Thanks for all you're doing in keeping us all connected."
Gayle Lauradunn said: "I look forward to Isolated Pages. Thanks for sending them to us. One thing I’ve learned during this time is that I can stay at home much longer than I thought I could. Although I am getting a bit antsy and finding it more difficult to sit and write, I have written about 25 new poems in these weeks, a much larger output than I usually do in a short time. Thanks to Maida Tilchen for recommending betterworldbooks.com. I’ve needed some books I haven’t been able to buy through local bookstores but try to avoid purchasing anything from amazon. Now I know where to go."
Dick Brown sent a message to Mis Waffles: "Congratulations on your new management job at NM Book Co-op. We really appreciate your staff's efforts in creating Isolated Pages for Isolated People. While we are deeply impacted by the Covid-19 threat to public health, we are also very grateful for your staff member’s pep talks, humor, support and serious thoughts that ooze from each edition of Isolated Pages. Yes, we understand cats have staff and yours is very special to us. One caution: you might want to keep your paws off staff’s keyboard and let him do the jobs you have assigned to him. Take care and stay safe (and no more dumpster diving)."
Shirley Raye Redmond said: "Loved the paraprosdokians. Here's one that has always made me laugh: "A fool and his money....are fun to go out with."

BOOK NEWS from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

CHANGES AT INGRAM

Ingram, probably the world's largest book distributor send me an update on their Lightning Source operations. Delivery of books has been significantly changed due to COVID-19. U.S. orders for paperback books is now estimated to print in 22 business days. It used to be 3-4 days. Hardcover print production is even worse.

NO SO GOOD NEWS FROM LOCAL BOOKSELLERS

Page 1 Books in Albuquerque had been closed due the Governor's stay-at-home orders and was planning to open up for curbside service when they "discovered that our instore computer system has had a catastrophic failure, wiping out our ability to use our instore registers, search our inventory, and access all of our customer data. The short of it is that we can't do checkouts through the physical store and our plans to open for curbside pickup have been put on hold for the time being." Hope they can get things up and running quickly so they can move beyond the online only services.

WHY WEAR MASKS

The Atlantic published a great article about masks that we had to pass along to you. If you feel confused about whether people should wear masks and why and what kind, you’re not alone:

The Real Reason to Wear a Mask
Zeynep Tufekci, Jeremy Howard, and Trisha Greenhalgh
If you feel confused about whether people should wear masks and why and what kind, you’re not alone. COVID-19 is a novel disease and we’re learning new things about it every day. However, much of the confusion around masks stems from the conflation of two very different functions of masks.
Masks can be worn to protect the wearer from getting infected or masks can be worn to protect others from being infected by the wearer. Protecting the wearer is difficult: It requires medical-grade respirator masks, a proper fit, and careful putting on and taking off. But masks can also be worn to prevent transmission to others, and this is their most important use for society. If we lower the likelihood of one person’s infecting another, the impact is exponential, so even a small reduction in those odds results in a huge decrease in deaths. Luckily, blocking transmission outward at the source is much easier. It can be accomplished with something as simple as a cloth mask.
A key transmission route of COVID-19 is via droplets that fly out of our mouths—that includes when we speak, not just when we cough or sneeze. A portion of these droplets quickly evaporate, becoming tiny particles whose inhalation by those nearby is hard to prevent. This is especially relevant for doctors and nurses who work with sick people all day. Medical workers are also at risk from procedures such as intubation, which generate very tiny particles that can float around possibly for hours. That’s why their gear is called “personal protective equipment,” or PPE, and has stringent requirements for fit in order to stop ingress—the term for the transmission of these outside particles to the wearer. Until now, most scientific research and discussion about masks has been directed at protecting medical workers from ingress.
But the opposite concern also exists: egress, or transmission of particles from the wearer to the outside world. Historically, much less research has been conducted on egress, but controlling it—also known as “source control”—is crucial to stopping the person-to-person spread of a disease. Obviously, society-wide source control becomes very important during a pandemic. Unfortunately, many articles in the lay press—and even some in the scientific press—don’t properly distinguish between ingress and egress, thereby adding to the confusion.
The good news is that preventing transmission to others through egress is relatively easy. It’s like stopping gushing water from a hose right at the source, by turning off the faucet, compared with the difficulty of trying to catch all the drops of water after we’ve pointed the hose up and they’ve flown everywhere. Research shows that even a cotton mask dramatically reduces the number of virus particles emitted from our mouths—by as much as 99 percent. This reduction provides two huge benefits. Fewer virus particles mean that people have a better chance of avoiding infection, and if they are infected, the lower viral-exposure load may give them a better chance of contracting only a mild illness.
COVID-19 has been hard to control partly because people can infect others before they themselves display any symptoms—and even if they never develop any illness. Three recent studies show that nearly half of patients are infected by people who aren’t coughing or sneezing yet. Many people have no awareness of the risk they pose to others, because they don’t feel sick themselves, and many may never become overtly ill.
Think of the coronavirus pandemic as a fire ravaging our cities and towns that is spread by infected people breathing out invisible embers every time they speak, cough, or sneeze. Sneezing is the most dangerous—it spreads embers farthest—coughing second, and speaking least, though it still can spread the embers. These invisible sparks cause others to catch fire and in turn breathe out embers until we truly catch fire—and get sick. That’s when we call in the firefighters—our medical workers. The people who run into these raging blazes to put them out need special heat-resistant suits and gloves, helmets, and oxygen tanks so they can keep breathing in the fire—all that PPE, with proper fit too.
If we could just keep our embers from being sent out every time we spoke or coughed, many fewer people would catch fire. Masks help us do that. And because we don’t know for sure who’s sick, the only solution is for everyone to wear masks. This eventually benefits the wearer because fewer fires mean we’re all less likely to be burned. My mask protects you; your masks protect me. Plus, our firefighters would no longer be overwhelmed, and we could more easily go back to work and the rest of our public lives.
To better understand what level of mask-wearing we need in the population to get this pandemic under control, we assembled a transdisciplinary team of 19 experts and looked at a range of mathematical models and other research to learn what would happen if most people wore a mask in public. We wrote and submitted an academic paper as well as a layperson’s summary. Every infectious disease has a reproduction rate, called R. When it’s 1.0, that means the average infected person infects one other person. The 1918 pandemic flu had an R of 1.8—so one infected person infected, on average, almost two others. COVID-19’s rate, in the absence of measures such as social distancing and masks, is at least 2.4. A disease dies out if its R falls under 1.0. The lower the number, the faster it dies out.
The effectiveness of mask-wearing depends on three things: the basic reproduction number, R0, of the virus in a community; masks’ efficacy at blocking transmission; and the percentage of people wearing masks. The blue area of the graph below indicates an R0 below 1.0, the magic number needed to make the disease die out.
Models show that if 80 percent of people wear masks that are 60 percent effective, easily achievable with cloth, we can get to an effective R0 of less than one. That’s enough to halt the spread of the disease. Many countries already have more than 80 percent of their population wearing masks in public, including Hong Kong, where most stores deny entry to unmasked customers, and the more than 30 countries that legally require masks in public spaces, such as Israel, Singapore, and the Czech Republic. Mask use in combination with physical distancing is even more powerful.
While cloth masks are sufficient for protecting others, people who are immunocompromised or those who have a few left over from fire season or hobbies may be considering wearing N95s, to better protect themselves. One note of caution: Many nonmedical N95s have exhalation valves (to make them less stuffy to wear) that let out unfiltered air, and thus won’t stop the wearer from infecting others—so they shouldn’t be worn around other people unless the valve is covered over with tape or cloth.
The community use of masks for source control is a “public good”: something we all contribute to that eventually benefits everyone—but only if almost everyone contributes, which can be a challenge to persuade people to do. It’s like emission filters in our car exhausts and chimneys: They need to be installed in all cars, factories, and houses to guarantee clean air for everyone. Usually, laws, regulations, mandates, or strong cultural norms ensure maximal participation. And once that happens, the result can be amazing.
For example, in Hong Kong, only four confirmed deaths due to COVID-19 have been recorded since the beginning of the pandemic, despite high density, mass transportation, and proximity to Wuhan. Hong Kong’s health authorities credit their citizens’ near-universal mask-wearing as a key factor (surveys show almost 100 percent voluntary compliance). Similarly, Taiwan ramped up mask production early on and distributed masks to the population, mandating their use in public transit and recommending their use in other public places—a recommendation that has been widely complied with. The country continues to function fully, and their schools have been open since the end of February, while their death total remains very low, at only six. In the Czech Republic, masks were not used during the initial outbreak, but after a grassroots campaign led to a government mandate on March 18, masks in public became ubiquitous. The results took a while to be reflected in the official statistics: The first five days of April still saw an average of 257 new cases and nine deaths per day, but the most recent five days of data show an average of 120 new cases and five deaths per day. Of course, we can’t know for sure to what degree these success stories are because of masks, but we do know that in every region that has adopted widespread mask-wearing, case and death rates have been reduced within a few weeks.
We know a vaccine may take years, and in the meantime, we will need to find ways to make our societies function as safely as possible. Our governments can and should do much—make tests widely available, fund research, ensure medical workers have everything they need. But ordinary people are not helpless; in fact, we have more power than we realize. Along with keeping our distance whenever possible and maintaining good hygiene, all of us wearing just a cloth mask could help stop this pandemic in its tracks.

BOOK TIPS FROM JERRY JENKINS

Jerry Jenkins, author of nearly 200 books, including 16 NY Times bestsellers, shared some great help for writers:
You have more time to write than ever, but have you somehow lost the motivation?
You’re not alone. I’ve worked from home for decades, yet even I’m having trouble with this under the circumstances we’re all enduring.
Writing thrives on good routine. A schedule thrown off by new worries, or even simply angst over the future of our health and economy, can affect your productivity.
Fellow writer and New York Times bestseller, Dr. Les Parrott and his wife Leslie have specialized in psychology for over 25 years. So, I’ve asked him to share with us his thoughts on the importance of mental care during this difficult season.
If you find yourself overly anxious in isolation or unable to stay passionate about writing, Les has some counsel for you. - Jerry Jenkins
Question: How can we stay inspired when we can’t socialize, eat out with friends, or go to familiar places?
Les: We might not be able to do a lot of the normal things we are used to right now, but that doesn’t mean we have to cut them out completely.
Let me give you an example: The most important thing we’ve lost is social interaction. We thrive in community and desperately need connection.
Social needs are not just about our mental health either. Our physical health is also linked to our social needs according to a study out of Roseto, Pennsylvania. The study describes lower mortality rates from heart disease for a community that had larger family units living together.
So, while we might be physically distanced from friends and family, we must work social time into our day-to-day.
Make phone calls, set up video chats, and be in regular contact with the people you would normally be spending time with. Create a routine of it. Set time aside multiple times a week, if possible.
Put simply: Keep your distancing physical, not social.
Question: How can a writer avoid mental burnout during such isolation?
Les: You can’t forget to take care of yourself. We can get so caught up in making every second of time we get during this quarantine productive that we forget we still need to take breaks.
If all you’ve been doing is taking the time to research, write, and edit, you are going to burn out quickly.
Make a routine for yourself. Treat your writing like work (which it is, even if we have a passion for it.) Find when your creativity flows naturally and set times to stop for the day.
Watch movies, catch up on a few episodes of a show, and play games...even if it’s solitaire. Get your mind focused on something else. Let it play and relax.
You’re allowed to try and have some fun during the isolation. Don’t get caught in the anxiety trap of utilizing every second. That feeds negative feelings toward ourselves, and that’s what we want to avoid.
Question: If writers lose interest in writing because of isolation, what can they do to rediscover their passion?
Les: The irony is that stagnation usually leads to more stagnation. Once we get into unproductive routines, it’s hard to break them.
So change things up. If you find yourself sitting most of the day, unable to focus, stand up. Find a workout routine that fits your needs and get moving in the house or yard.
Many times we need a spark that ignites the fire of our interests.
Also, partake in what inspired you originally. Usually, writers have a favorite book or author that led them to take on writing themselves. Immerse yourself in the stories that inspired you in the first place.
Break the routine of monotony and you will find new discoveries even in isolation.
Question: How can we set realistic goals when it seems we have unlimited time for our hobbies?
Les: Writing, like any other commitment, requires an everyday choice to keep going. One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to set realistic expectations for yourself each day.
If you think you will write 10,000 words a day, you will find burnout right around the corner. Set goals that can be accomplished in a day so that you can keep checking them off the list.
Then set long term goals based on what you are able to do every day.
And remember, you are allowed to take a day off. You are not defined by your achievements. Don’t let negative self-talk work its way into your routine. Overt negativity to yourself will slow you down more than anything else.
Question: What methods can a writer use to fight negative thoughts about their work that can stem from being isolated?
Les: No matter if we are quarantined or not, we all talk to ourselves constantly. This is something we call “self-talk,” and it molds our outlook.
The more positive our self-talk, the more we are likely to grow when we meet challenges.
The more negative our self-talk, the more likely we are to give up rather than find what we need to work on.
This can easily translate into our writing. Isolation can keep us from the encouragement and inspiration we normally get from others. We look at what we are working on and have a narrow view of only the negative things about it.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED

Pat Wood sent the following:
You posed the questions, “What is one thing you’ve learned about yourself during this quarantine, and what is one thing you’re grateful for that you would never have experienced—had this quarantine not happened.”
Those questions make one think. I realized several things.
Going through stacks of old photographs serve several purposes: you get to relive great memories (or regret them), you are reminded how quickly time moves along (and your age with it), and someday you’re going to be gone, and what will your relatives do with this monster collection of pictures?
Another great gift: I get to sleep as long as I want five days out of the seven. (On two of those days, we—Don and I— run an amateur radio net at 7:00 a.m., so we have to be up and coherent by 6:30 to pull it off!) I’ve loved to sleep “late” ever since I was a kid, and this has been a wonderful luxury.
Rather than missing all my meetings and appointments, I’m actually happy to have long periods of time to accomplish whatever I want. I miss seeing friends (of course) but those regularly scheduled things that show up in your calendar so often, I do NOT miss. I used to wake up in the morning, review what the day ahead held for me, and adjusted my routine to accommodate the day. Now, I do what I want to do, or feel like doing. That’s a luxury I haven’t known for many years.
And, as I see reports of death marching on in the outside world, it makes me grateful for each day I’m still here. It’s also a pointed reminder that I can’t pretend to have a “lot” of time left, and I’d better get at doing things I want to accomplish.
All in all, not bad insight and lessons learned.

LAUGHS

Corinne Schieman sent some info on an interesting new government program:

"GOVERNMENT NOTICE!
To help save the economy, the government will announce next month that the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs.
Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back
home. Be sure to send this notice to your relatives and friends, so they will
know what happened to you. I started to cry when I thought of you. Then it dawned on me: I'll see you on the bus."

VIRUS TIMES (from Pat Hodapp)

VOL IX Virus Times: Anniversary Celebration in Pandemic Times
An acquaintance mentioned that he and his wife had just celebrated their first wedding anniversary last week. Asking if they had done anything special, he said they had eaten out. “Where?” I asked, as I knew of no restaurants open for dinner in Santa Fe. He hesitated and then replied, “A gas station.” Surprised, I asked, “Do you mean Café Fina (a fine dining place in Santa Fe that used to be a gas station) is open?”
“ Um, no, I mean a gas station.” Then I got it. He must have worked late and not planned ahead to have a dinner delivered. He and his bride stopped at a gas station.
I pictured them sitting on the back of his truck with the tailgate down sharing a chimichanga and tortilla chips, washed down with a soft drink. Maybe even a twinkie or two for dessert. It would be an anniversary to remember and laugh about after this pandemic was over.
In truth, they had found a gas station that had take-out in Velarde, outside of Santa Fe,. So it was not chimichangas and twinkies after all. Happy Anniversary J and C. May you have many more memorable ones!

VOL X Virus Times: Courage
My friend moved to England in the midst of one of their worst winters. Stumbling through snow and icy streets, she was job hunting and facing rejection after rejection as an American trying to find a job in the UK.
Each morning shivering in the cold, she would set out early on the train to Charing Cross Station. When the train stopped briefly to change lines, she looked out her window and saw the word COURAGE painted on a brick wall at least fifteen by twenty feet. She saw it every day and began to think, if the Brits can move forward and encourage their fellow Londoners with such a huge Courage sign, who was she to give up?
Bolstered by the sign she saw daily, she kept on with optimism and eventually found a job. One day at work talking to coworkers she told the story of how she was impressed with the Brits keeping a stiff upper lip and carrying on. That one sign saying Courage had kept her going.
“Glad it helped,” said one 20-something year-old co-worker, who then pointed out, “You do know that Courage is a beer.”
After 30 years in London, my friend still laughs at her gaffe. But gaffe or not, she found courage on a painted brick wall. Courage comes in many ways.
Today on the Navajo Nation the word Resilience appears on signs. May it give the same strength.

VOL XI Virus Times: My Sourdough Starter has become Demanding
Friends blithely start sourdough starter, after all it is so easy. Flour, water leave on the kitchen counter and just feed it twice a day with more flour and water. How hard is that?
But once they begin, the starter is like a science fiction creature, like Seymor in Little Shop of Horrors. “Feed me,” it calls out to you. More than once I have jumped out of bed to feed the starter that I had forgotten to feed that evening. But how many loaves of sourdough bread can you make in a week? Friends start to look for other recipes, pancakes, pretzels, coffee cake, and, and, and… It is so demanding.
In the 1970s there was a fad, like making sourdough bread today, that ran through communities. It was a recipe for a Friendship Cake, sometimes called Amish Friendship bread. The concept was that one made basic starter (often with added sugar), then made the cake and presented it to a friend with the requisite starter so they could make the cake. Like a chain letter, the a cake and starter was to be given to another person.
The cake was delicious, but all of a sudden some of us were the recipients of more cakes and starter than we could handle. If you gave a dinner for friends you had to be explicit and say, thanks for offering to bring dessert, but, NO Friendship Cake! Rumor was some church bake sales banned them as they were so ubiquitous.
One recipe has a fruit component where you mix a brandied fruit filling that you let sit on your counter for 30 days—it is more than a cake, it is a commitment! Hearing of the 30 day type, a friend commented that was longer than a lot of his relationships!
There are lots of recipes online, choose one that looks good to you. Traditionally the Friendship cake is baked in a bundt pan, but loaf pans will do.
In a children’s book on pioneers, a young girl making her first batch of bread with starter that had been in their family for over 100 years, carefully fed and cared for. She finished baking the bread and could not find the thick flour ball of starter dough she had put aside. She was devastated. The bread was a part of their family history and had its own flavor. Then when moving the baking bowl, she found she had put the bowl on the thick starter she had saved. All was well. I think the story was Caddie Woodlawn and I still remember the importance of that starter to their pioneer life and the tradition that was almost lost.
With that in mind, is it really so hard to make starter and feed it? Share it with friends, bake more and keep a tradition in your own family. Oh, my starter is calling me, time to make bread.

PERSPECTIVE ON EARLIER TIMES

Pat Wood was reflecting on her paternal grandmother and it is worth sharing:
I think this is interesting. My paternal grandmother was born in December 1899, so that’s close enough to be exactly what this piece describes for her during her lifetime. She was a corker, and never let anything stand in her way. She gave birth to five boys, and each birth was two years apart. She lived to be 99. I thought of that when I read this email. See what you think.
Today is Saturday, May 9, 2020 . It’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between what’s a real threat and what is just simple panic and hysteria. For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900.

On your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 38. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t try to catch your breath.
On your 41st birthday, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war. Smallpox was epidemic until you were in your 40’s, as it killed 300 million people during your lifetime.

At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish. From your birth, until you are 55 you dealt with the fear of Polio epidemics each summer. You probably experience friends and family contracting polio and being paralyzed and/or die.

At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict. During the Cold War, you lived each day with the fear of nuclear annihilation. On your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, almost ended.
When you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900.
How did they endure all of that? When you were a kid in 1985 and didn’t think your 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. And how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing art. Refined and enlightening as time goes on. Let’s try and keep things in perspective.
Your parents and/or grandparents were called to endure all of the above – you are called to stay home and sit on your couch.
It could be worse.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON THE VIRUS FRONT

Lynda Sanchez offered this "must read!"
"A highly dangerous virus called "Weekly Overload Recreational Killer" (WORK) is currently going around. If you come in contact with this WORK virus, you should immediately go to the nearest "Biological Anxiety Relief" (BAR) center to take antidotes known as "Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract" (WINE). "Radioactive UnWork Medicine" (RUM), "Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter" (BEER) or "Vaccine Official Depression Killing Antigen" (VODKA). "

WILDLIFE

Seems while we have been staying at home, wildlife has been taking over the world. Here are some to keep an eye out for: When you venture outside be careful where you step and be aware of who you might meet.
