Abstract

We revisit a time in 2021 when people in the UK were coming to terms with an unwanted future characterized by chronic COVID-19 infection. Drawing on experiences of people who had already experienced COVID-19 infection, we explore how they made sense of newly perceived vulnerabilities and the possibility of reinfection. We highlight the work of speculating about the future, which involved making "educated guesses" based on embodied knowledge as understanding about different consequences of "living with COVID-19" moved in and out of view.

对英国新冠病毒再感染的未来的猜测：身体是一个有根据的猜测场所。

我们回顾了2021年的一段时间，当时英国人正在接受以慢性COVID-19感染为特征的不想要的未来。根据已经感染COVID-19的人的经历，我们探讨了他们如何理解新发现的脆弱性和再次感染的可能性。我们强调推测未来的工作，这涉及根据具体知识做出“有根据的猜测”，因为我们了解“与COVID-19共存”的不同后果。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
