摘要

COVID-19 是互联网时代的第一次大流行病。在美国(乃至全球)社会严重分裂之际,信息、虚假信息和宣传--统称为 "信息瘟疫"--的病毒式扩散进一步加剧了大流行病应对工作的困境。对危机的两极分化和盲目的看法使人们无法平衡地考虑目标、机遇以及行动与相应的不行动之间不可避免的风险权衡。结果是两方面都出现了失误,大大增加了大流行病的损失。这种代价高昂的纷争持续存在,现在又催生了对大流行病应对措施的单一批评,忽略了重要的细微差别。大流行病本有可能变得更好,也有机会更好地应对下一次大流行病--但前提是必须吸取并应用这次历史教训。如果做不到这一点,我们就有可能在充分认识到自己的责任之后,却无法做到未雨绸缪。

COVID19 and the Follies of History: Forebodings that Forewarned is Not Forearmed.

COVID-19 was the first pandemic of the internet age. Beginning at a time of great societal division in the United States (and globally), pandemic responses were further beleaguered by the viral proliferation of information, disinformation, and propaganda-collectively, an "infodemic." Polarized, blinkered views of the crisis precluded a balanced consideration of objectives, opportunities, and ineluctable trade-offs between the risks of actions and corresponding inactions. The results were lapses in both directions, greatly amplifying the pandemic toll. Persistence of this costly fractiousness is now spawning monocular critiques of the pandemic response, with neglect of essential nuance. There is a better pandemic that might have been, and the chance for far better responses to the next- but only if the follies of this history are lessons learned and applied. Failing that, the risk looms that having been amply forewarned of our liabilities, we will fail to be forearmed.
