Covid-19: The lessons we should take from the Swine Flu outbreak
In this extract from Brian Pottinger’s book, ‘ States of Panic: Covid-19 and the New Medieval’, Pottinger looks back at the 2009 outbreak of Swine Flu. He draws parallels between the global reactions to the two diseases and what spurred the panic on both occasions. Pottinger uses hindsight to evaluate the current worldwide reaction to Covid-19 and whether or not measures to contain the virus (and their consequences) are justified. He also points out that the powerful organisations that define the criteria for pandemics and outbreak control measures are still reacting to these scenarios in the same way, despite lessons learned from the Swine Flu outbreak. – Melani Nathan
