2017~2019年,生日都會有篇 slides或影片報告。
2020年 ,可選擇的頗多,譬如說,
I. 跟李元璋博士 ([竹塹文化地圖])一起說"新竹與我",因為我前後在新竹工作約8年,Philips Taiwan、ERSO-ITRI、 AMP Taiwan,我的職業生涯中最重要的學習、服務之地。
18年前,我向寫The Leader Handbook的美國朋友抱怨,他沒寫政治上的領導。幾年前自己寫一本談Leadership的書,在美國總統論等方面,很不滿意,就沒出版。
II. 另一題的Slides 準備已多:苦難深重的2020年,文明考驗中,2020,68歲
III.另一挑戰題目是《審視 戴明 W. Edwards Deming、胡適、司馬賀 Herbert Simon及我對"組織學習或轉型"的看法》,所謂"組織",簡單的說,產業(含服務業)、政府、學校、醫院等等。
姑且選III來胡說好了:每每天寫一點點,45天或許會有成。
每個人的一生的故事,最有參考價值。然而這只是"一端"。
為了縮小範圍到可運作,戴明 W. Edwards Deming、司馬賀 Herbert Simon兩人的,我們用下兩書
當起點:
The pandemic and the long haul
Why governments get covid-19 wrong
Therapies and vaccines will come, but not for many months. Until then, politicians will have to work on the basics
Within the next few days the global recorded deaths from covid-19 will surpass 1m. Perhaps another 1m have gone unrecorded. Since the start of the pandemic, nine months ago, the weekly cases logged by the World Health Organisation have been trending very slowly upwards and, in the seven days to September 20th, breached 2m for the first time. The virus is burning through parts of the emerging world. India has been registering over 90,000 cases a day. Some European countries that thought they had suppressed the disease are in the throes of a second wave. In America the official death toll this week exceeded 200,000; the seven-day case total is rising in 26 states.
There is no mystery about what the first line of defence against covid-19 involves. And yet countries like America, Britain, Israel and Spain persist in getting it disastrously wrong

胡適的呢,由於"專書"從缺,可是補充的資料肯定也是一本厚書的。
留學時代
據說,這是美國"最"古老的大學每日新聞"。
去年2013初,我研究美國各大學的校內報紙。
曾經很天真的建議某校成立類似的網路日報,經費由"我們"校友贊助。......
對方(副校長)也是聽聽而已。
我從中知道很多的"限制"。少自作多情。

'People have died unnecessarily.' Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt slams US government's coronavirus failure
"People have died unnecessarily because government was slow to react to common and simple things like mask wearing and social distancing," Schmidt said
during a podcast, according to a transcript first shared with CNN Business.
The
billionaire, who
led Google between 2001 and 2011, said the federal government was "confused" and "caught flatfooted" because the country lacked integrated data systems.
"Because there's a failure of direction, a failure of leadership at pretty much every level of our government, people are left to make their own calculations as to what they should be doing," Schmidt said during "Reimagine with Eric Schmidt," a newly launched podcast that features interviews with leaders in business, government and science.
The comments mark the tech mogul's most critical assessment yet of the federal government's handling of the pandemic. And they come as President Donald Trump's coronavirus response plays a central role in the presidential election campaign.
Schmidt, who now serves on the board of trustees of the Mayo Clinic and had been a technical adviser to Google owner
Alphabet (GOOGL), has frequently donated to Democrats. He is one of the leading backers of Future Forward USA, a Democrat-leaning political action committee, according to
OpenSecrets.
Warns of 'lost year' of GDP, education and football
In stark contrast to the euphoria on Wall Street, where major market benchmarks have
recovered their pandemic losses, Schmidt painted a cautious picture about the road ahead.
"I'm assuming this is going to go on for a long time unless there is really a national focus on common mitigation measures," the former Google CEO said.
Schmidt, who has a net worth that
Forbes pegs at $16 billion, warned that if Americans aren't "behaving in a sane way" by wearing masks and avoiding large crowds, then "rotating pandemics" could continue until the summer of 2021.
"That's a lost year of GDP growth, of wealth and healthcare, of student's education, of people seeing their friends, of going to football games, and all the things that we took for granted before January," Schmidt said. "If we don't act now, we'll lose another year."
'We're just going to keep infecting ourselves'
During the "Reimagine with Eric Schmidt" podcast, former Trump-appointed FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb expressed concern about a "rotating series of regional epidemics that as soon as one region seems to get some control over their epidemic, other parts of the country heat up."
For instance, Gottlieb pointed to spreading infections in the Midwest, compared with the sharp drop in New York.
"This is likely to be the situation as we roll through the fall and the winter if we don't come up with a more uniform approach across the country that we can just start to crush the virus," Gottlieb said. "We're just going to keep infecting ourselves."
Gottlieb, who
sits on the board of directors at
Pfizer (PFE), which is among the drug makers
developing a coronavirus vaccine, warned of another "six hard months ahead of us" before a vaccine is available for at least certain parts of the population.
"Take it simple for the next six months," Gottlieb advised the public. "Try to stay home a little more, try to stay with people that you know, so you can reduce the number of social interactions. Instead of going shopping twice a week, try to condense your shopping into one trip."
Bigger picture, Gottlieb said the pandemic shows how the federal government needs to take a different approach toward investing in public health infrastructure.
"We need to think about this kind of preparedness as a matter of national security," Gottlieb said.
Correction: Eric Schmidt left his role at Alphabet. A previous version of this article suggested he was still an adviser there.
