摘要

自2020年初以来,专家和评论员一直在仔细研究过去大流行的历史,以寻找COVID-19形成的一系列问题的答案:过去采取了哪些策略来阻止传染病的传播?流行病通常会持续多久?疫苗是对抗传染病的有效“魔弹”吗?随着人们挖掘过去的流行病记录,试图弄清楚这场一个多世纪以来最严重的公共卫生灾难,冠状病毒危机引发了与流感、黑死病、霍乱、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和脊髓灰质炎等流行病学上多种疾病的比较从这些历史类比中,政策禁令很快就出现了。许多公共卫生专家指出,1918 - 1919年流感爆发和SARS等流行病的发展轨迹表明,如果政治领导人不迅速果断地发布待在家里、关闭学校和强制保持社会距离的命令,后果将是多么严重

Writing the History of Pandemics in the Age of COVID-19
Since early 2020, pundits and commentators have scrutinized the history of past pandemics for answers to a series of questions shaped by COVID-19: what strategies have worked in the past to stem the spread of contagion? How long do epidemics typically last? Are vaccines an effective “magic bullet” against infectious diseases? The coronavirus crisis spawned comparisons to diseases as epidemiologically diverse as influenza, the Black Death, cholera, HIV/AIDS, and polio, as people excavated the records of past pandemics to try to make sense of the worst public-health disaster for over a century.1 Policy proscriptions emerged quickly from these historical analogies. Many public-health experts pointed to the trajectories of epidemics like the 1918–19 influenza outbreak and SARS to convey the gravity of what would happen if political leaders did not quickly and decisively issue stay-at-home-orders, close schools, and mandate social distancing.2

期刊介绍: Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of "America", pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States. The Journal publishes original peer-reviewed research and analysis by established and emerging scholars throughout the world, considering US history, politics, literature, institutions, economics, film, popular culture, geography, sociology and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts. Its expanded book review section offers in-depth analysis of recent American Studies scholarship to promote further discussion and debate.
