This pandemic, like all natural disasters, is not fair. No one deserves to die from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or to become very sick from it, with a future of uncertain long-term consequences. In 1962, President Kennedy said ‘life is unfair’ in the context of reservists called up for additional duty;1¹ more recently, and less eloquently, we might say ‘shit happens’.

大流行的公平和学术界。

像所有自然灾害一样，这种大流行是不公平的。没有人应该死于2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）或因此而生病，其未来的长期后果不确定。1962年，肯尼迪总统说，在后备役人员要求增加职责的情况下，“生活是不公平的”； 1 ¹再近一些，而不是雄辩地，我们可能会说“烂摊子发生了”。
