Inhalt
In early 2020, the emergence of COVID-19 shook the globe. Quickly the world began to search history for lessons from past pandemics, and to compare the experience of COVID in different countries. This volume is a part of these efforts, dedicated to exploring aspects of the history of epidemic disease in Austria, as well as the peculiarities of the Austrian experience of COVID-19. The essays consider earlier pandemics such as smallpox, Spanish flu, polio, typhus, and HIV-AIDS (article by Andreas Brunner) in an Austrian context. They also analyze facets of the Austrian societal response to the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Taken together, the research demonstrates how the study of disease yields important insights into the working of Austrian society. It also serves as a reminder of the inseparability of nature and human affairs, and of the importance of a robust, global public health system to bolster societal resilience going forward.
