My emotional responses to this moment include feelings of anger, hope, and déjà vu. Although the scope and scale of this pandemic is unprecedented in our lifetimes, what has been especially hard is not necessarily new – nor entirely unprecedented – and therefore unavoidable. In this essay, I reflect on what was avoidable and call for better response. We must question the seemingly benign (if not optimistic) terms emerging as pandemic discourse, such as “pivot to a new normal” and “essential work,” for what they reveal of social injustice and failure to avert future crisis.

大流行枢纽和基本工作的谎言

对于这一刻,我的情感反应包括愤怒,希望和déjàvu。尽管这种流行病的范围和规模在我们一生中都是空前的,但特别艰难的事情不一定是新的,也不是完全空前的,因此是不可避免的。在本文中,我对可以避免的问题进行了反思,并呼吁做出更好的回应。我们必须质疑流行病学话语中出现的看似良性(如果不是乐观的话)的术语,例如“转向新常态”和“基本工作”,因为它们揭示了社会不公正和避免未来危机的失败。
