      "Tell the truth", yes. "NPI won't work too well", I disagree. (It was the one thing that worked in 1918.) I believe it needs: look at the fear of NPI's unintended effects + facilitate compliance and cooperation + reduce said bad effects. Courage & design?https://twitter.com/FluTrackers/status/948200804556660736 …

      Something I would like to strengthen in #fluSCIM18 1) How to make Non Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPI) more effective & less harmful? 2) How to keep vital goods and services flowing. 3) How to find the best practical treatments for many (statins???) fast.

      So, NPI: students to stay in tiny groups, rethought shopping, tele-work & asynchronous transfer, t-shirt masks, tippytap for handwashing everywhere... I'm not sure I'm missing much. *How* do we get them to work early, in most of the world, for months?

      Vital supplies and services? SCIM appears easy, until it gets personal: I need my 2500 calories per day, and I don't care if you don't get your 1500. Hence emergency permaculture. But also some sort of blockchain "thingie"? How do we make sure this *works*?

      Let's assume there's a "supply watch" entity that keeps a blockchain updated registry of how population needs are met. And then some sort of incentive structure that means that once I have my 2000 calories, I "do better" if I make sure you get to 2000 than if I go to 3000. Works?

      I wonder what @leashless @mattereum @sweetbridgeinc and others would think of this. If deemed feasible, tools used for nicer times might also be used in those feared times. I do wonder...

      I can see all sorts of problems with trust and triangulation (@bodaceacat has worked on that among other things). I don't know what the incentive would be, other than good karma. But it could be the basis of at least a game (@avantgame). /cc @leashless

          Thank you, Jane! I had followed superstruct through @leashless & recently bought "reality is broken" and am reading it. How can we get something practical done? My twitter bio links to my appropedia page with my email!
