The 2006 Origins of the Lockdown Idea – AIER https://www.aier.org/article/the-2006-origins-of-the-lockdown-idea/

Fourteen years ago, two federal government doctors, Richard Hatchett and Carter Mecher, met with a colleague at a burger joint in suburban Washington for a final review of a proposal they knew would be treated like a piñata: telling Americans to stay home from work and school the next time the country was hit by a deadly pandemic.

When they presented their plan not long after, it was met with skepticism and a degree of ridicule by senior officials, who like others in the United States had grown accustomed to relying on the pharmaceutical industry, with its ever-growing array of new treatments, to confront evolving health challenges.

Drs. Hatchett and Mecher were proposing instead that Americans in some places might have to turn back to an approach, self-isolation, first widely employed in the Middle Ages.

How that idea — born out of a request by President George W. Bush to ensure the nation was better prepared for the next contagious disease outbreak — became the heart of the national playbook for responding to a pandemic is one of the untold stories of the coronavirus crisis.

It brought their work together with that of a Defense Department team assigned to a similar task.

And it had some unexpected detours, including a deep dive into the history of the 1918 Spanish flu and an important discovery kicked off by a high school research project pursued by the daughter of a scientist at the Sandia National Laboratories.

But what is this mention of the high-school daughter of 14? Her name is Laura M. Glass, and she recently declined to be interviewed when the Albuquerque Journal did a deep dive of this history.

Laura, with some guidance from her dad, devised a computer simulation that showed how people – family members, co-workers, students in schools, people in social situations – interact. What she discovered was that school kids come in contact with about 140 people a day, more than any other group. Based on that finding, her program showed that in a hypothetical town of 10,000 people, 5,000 would be infected during a pandemic if no measures were taken, but only 500 would be infected if the schools were closed.

Laura’s name appears on the foundational paper arguing for lockdowns and forced human separation. That paper is Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza (2006). It set out a model for forced separation and applied it with good results backwards in time to 1957. They conclude with a chilling call for what amounts to a totalitarian lockdown, all stated very matter-of-factly.

Theresa Brown https://www.sandia.gov/CasosEngineering/contacts/brown.html

Dr. Theresa Brown’s technical expertise is in conceptual model development and decision-making under uncertainty using vulnerability and risk analyses and probabilistic performance assessments.

From 2005-2010 Theresa served as the Technical and Program Lead for the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) work at Sandia, managing a $10M yearly budget. In these roles she guided and coordinated 8 technical teams and 60 staff. NISAC is a joint program with staff at DHS in the Infrastructure Strategy and Analysis Division, at Los Alamos National Laboratory and at Sandia.

In 2007, Theresa’s work was acknowledged by Sandia and Lockheed Martin with a NOVA award (the highest that can be given) “For exceptional leadership of a complex multi-technology, multi-laboratory mission, and masterful integration of cross-agency requirements to produce a high-profile program with significant national policy influence." In 2008 she was promoted to Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff, a special promotion reserved for the top eight percent of the laboratory technical staff.

..Theresa has a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, an M.A. in Geology from the University of Texas at Austin, and a B.S. in Earth Science and Secondary Science Education from Adams State College. She has been an Adjunct Professor at the University of New Mexico, the Wellhead Protection Project Coordinator for the City of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, a Geologist for Associated Drilling in Austin, Texas, and the Crew Leader on a National Geographic Society paleontological dig. Theresa has been a Sandian since 1994.

Honors include: Invited member of UK Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium External Advisory Board, June 2011

..While still in graduate school, Farmer and his childhood friend Norman Packard formed a group called Eudaemonic Enterprises.[1] Their goal was to beat the game of roulette and use the proceeds to form a science commune .. [That's a whole other post]

.After the roulette project Farmer switched his dissertation topic to chaotic dynamics and joined together with James P. Crutchfield, Norman Packard, and Robert Shaw to found the Dynamical Systems Collective (subsequently known by others as the Chaos Cabal

..Joshua Epstein (no relation to Jeffrey) is an expert on swarm theory and one of the things he's interested in is how to 'nudge' large groups of people into certain patterns of behaviour.

At the Santa Fe Institute (SFI), we have here a conference where Joshua Epstein and J. Doyne Farmer attended as an example to show that they are work colleagues: Annual Applied Complexity Network and Board of Trustees Symposium: New Complexity Economics Speakers

  • Oxford Professor Doyne Farmer is working with central banks to improve stress testing using agent-based models.

  • June 2015, The renowned Institute for New Economic Thinking (founded in 2009 by George Soros and others as a result of the global financial crisis) has launched an Agent Based Modeling Working Group to model complex economic systems from the bottom-up.

  • January 2011, Simulating worst-case scenarios :Johns Hopkins University has launched the Center for Advanced Modeling (CAM) in the Social, Behavioral and Health Sciences. The center, led by professor Joshua Epstein, is aimed at research and applied work in the field of agent-based modeling for simulations that could help predict how societies will react to disasters such as infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters or economic turmoil.

I wasn’t the only one who took Barry’s admonition to heart. As ABC recently reported, “President George W. Bush was on vacation at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he began flipping through a … copy of a new book about the 1918 flu pandemic [given to him by Health Secretary Mike Leavitt]. He couldn’t put it down.” Bush and Leavitt then worked to pass a multi-billion-dollar pandemic-preparation bill.

So what are the big lessons from the 1918 influenza pandemic?

First and foremost, leadership matters. Scientific leaders like Army Surgeon General William Gorgas stepped up. And so did some, but by no means all, governors and mayors. In St. Louis, for example, the city mobilized quickly and staged effective responses that saved many lives. In Philadelphia, in contrast, the mayor ignored the advice of experts that he should cancel a massive parade in support of the war effort. A few days later, the bodies started piling up. “Undertakers, themselves sick, were overwhelmed. They had no place to put bodies…. Undertakers’ work areas were overflowing, they stacked caskets in halls, in their living quarters,” writes Barry.

I wonder if he means The Great Influencer?

Yes, this is our Laura Glass. So, after all those scientific papers she did at high school with daddy re computer simulations.. she went in a completely different direction at Harvard.. cough..cough... https://dso.college.harvard.edu/people/laura-glass

A desert child at heart, at 18 I left my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico for the rural Midwest to attend school at Grinnell College in Iowa. After spending four years running around cornfields with the cross-country team and admiring the prairie sky, I traveled to a small village in Nepal to work as an English teacher with preschool to seventh graders for a year. Upon returning to the States I couldn't resist the familiar pull of the Midwest and made Chicago my home. I finished my master’s degree at Harvard Divinity School in the spring of 2017 and now work as the Student Program Fellow at the Memorial Church here at Harvard alongside my work also as lead CARE proctor with OSAPR. I love to be outside and hope to continue exploring the beauty of the Northeast this year. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and hearing your stories!

Harvard Divinity School = New World Order
