Covid-19: A History [有声书]
For two years the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world. The physician and medical historian Jacalyn Duffin presents a global history of the virus. Duffin describes the frightening appearance of the virus and its identification by scientists in China; subsequent outbreaks on cruise ships; the relentless spread to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and elsewhere; and the immediate attempts to confront it. COVID-19 next explores the scientific history of infections generally, and the discovery of coronaviruses in particular. Taking a broad approach, the book explains the advent of tests, treatments, and vaccines, as well as the practical politics behind interventions, including quarantines, barrier technologies, lockdowns, and social and financial supports. In concluding chapters Duffin analyzes the outcome of successive waves of COVID-19 infection around the world: the toll of human suffering, the successes and failures of control measures, vaccine rollouts, and grassroots opposition to governments’ attempts to limit the spread and mitigate social and economic damages. Closing with the fraught search for the origins of COVID-19, Duffin considers the implications of an “infodemic” and provides an cautionary outlook for the future.
两年来,新冠病毒疫情已经颠覆了世界。医生和医学历史学家雅克琳·杜芬呈现了一部全球病毒史。杜芬描述了病毒的可怕出现及其在中国科学家中的识别;随后在邮轮上的爆发;其不屈不挠地蔓延至欧洲、美洲、非洲以及其他地区;以及立即应对它的尝试。《新冠病毒疫情》接着探讨了感染的一般科学历史,特别是冠状病毒的发现。 采取一种广泛的方法,这本书解释了测试、治疗和疫苗的出现,以及干预背后的实用政治,包括隔离、屏障技术、封锁和社会和金融支持。在结论性的章节中,杜芬分析了全球新冠疫情影响的不同波次的结果:人类苦难的代价、控制措施的成功与失败、疫苗普及及基层对政府限制传播并减轻社会和经济损害的努力的反对情况。以充满紧张感的方式搜寻新冠病毒的起源,杜芬考虑了“信息瘟疫”的含义,并为未来提供了警示展望。
