Trained to examine specific contexts, historians are attuned to the particular socioeconomic, political and environmental processes and conditions that have combined to produce COVID-19, guide policy responses, and unevenly distribute impacts both locally and globally.
Although the precise origins of the disease are not yet certain, we can already see how the forces of globalisation, urbanisation, industrialisation and industrial agriculture have rendered us increasingly interconnected — not just with each other through trade and travel, but also with animals and the atmosphere through pathogens and pollution. We've made for ourselves a planetary petri-dish.
From essential workers to the elderly, school kids to scientists, all kinds of diaries, letters, art, newspaper clippings, photos, videos, and social media will each form rich portals to the personal, intimate, and local stories of the pandemic that maps, graphs and statistics just can't show.
What? A brave new world?

Being a paramedic during the coronavirus crisis — when disappearing isn't an option - ABC NewsParamedics are taught to avoid danger, so when this pandemic began my first instinct was to run away. Instead I cursed quietly, prepared my protective gear, and got to work. But I'm seen as a leper for doing my job, writes Benjamin Gilmore. Wow! I hadn't realised just how badly some of our community are treating these heros. I've seen medics treated poorly for years. I'm sure the majority think about the romantic side..treating and comforting the elderly, transporting patients to hospital etc. In reality, they get abused, spat on, kicked and punched. I feel for ya.. AmbulanceVic agwalker01
