摘要

摘要：本文关注一线医护人员的“流行病笔记”，作为一种定性观察形式，可以增强公众对新出现的传染病危机的了解。作为医护人员的一个小圈子，写前线经历的注册护士可以让非专业人员沉浸在流行病的感觉中，并有效地让他们参与不断发展的医疗咨询和卫生政策。我利用伤寒和黄热病（1898-1901年）、流感（1918-1919年）和艾滋病毒/艾滋病（1981年至今）流行病前线注册护士的印刷和口述历史档案，将流行病笔记分析为面对根本不确定性时的增量、情境和临时知识。

Epidemic Frontlines: The Slow Science of Observation

ABSTRACT:This essay focuses on the “epidemic notes” of frontline healthcare workers as a form of qualitative observation that can potentiate public intelligence about emerging infectious disease crises. As one coterie of healthcare workers, registered nurses who write about frontline experiences can immerse nonexperts in an epidemic sensorium, and productively involve them in evolving medical advisories and health policies. I draw on print and oral history archives of registered nurses at the frontlines of the typhoid and yellow fever (1898–1901), influenza (1918–1919), and HIV/AIDS (1981–present) pandemics to analyze epidemic notes as an incremental, situated, and provisional knowledge-making in the face of radical uncertainty.
