Five deadly epidemics, chiefly typhus and smallpox, struck Mexico City in the years between 1761 and 1813, claiming a minimum of fifty thousand lives. Mexico City was at that time the major metropolis of the New World and the capital of New Spain—by far the richest and most sophisticated city in that vast empire. It had the best medicines, the best doctors, and the best hospitals of the New World. What caused these devastating epidemics? Donald B. Cooper here makes a thorough study of the problem. Based almost entirely on unpublished manuscript materials from the national archives of Mexico and the municipal archives of Mexico City, his work represents the first detailed study of the impact of epidemic disease on the history of New Spain, primarily of its capital. The course of each epidemic, its inclusive dates, the mortality it caused, and its effect upon the community are fully described. At the time a major epidemic was in progress, the author says, all levels of government, national and local, secular and ecclesiastical, became involved in varying degrees in providing resources and leadership. The Church, wealthy corporations, and private citizens contributed the main funds. During the actual time of crisis, an outbreak could be prosecuted with remarkable success and cooperation. Once an epidemic was over, however, little was done to prevent another. No single person or agency in Mexico City was sufficiently cognizant of the diverse problems involved to cope with them within a national or regional range—not even the viceroy. Such vital public works as aqueducts, waterlines, roads, and canals were inadequately maintained. Such essential municipal services as cleaning streets and canals, collecting garbage and refuse, and caring for the muddy, shallow cemeteries were poor if not nonexistent. Government officials, as well as the populace, were insufficiently concerned with the relation between sanitation and disease. The practice of medicine in eighteenth-century Mexico had few scientific or professional aspects. The close relation of medicine and theology tended to inhibit experimentation that might have effectively broadened the frontiers of medical knowledge. Traditionalism acted as a barrier to the adoption of innovations. In the epidemic of 1779, for instance, inoculation—which could have saved innumerable lives—was totally rejected; in the outbreak of 1797 it was accepted only by the small upper class; when vaccination came to Mexico in 1803 it met the same militant opposition. The wonder, then, is not that so many died of disease, but that so many lived.

Desde que la península Ibérica fue asolada por la fatídica peste negra a mediados del XIV hasta el terrible contagio de gripe de 1919, la sociedad española se ha visto expuesta a lo largo de los siglos a la visita cíclica de violentas enfermedades epidémicas que han ido diezmando de forma dramática y reiterada su población. El descubrimiento y posterior colonización del continente americano favorecerían, a partir de comienzos del siglo XVI y a través de los intercambios humanos y comerciales, los viajes de ida y vuelta de nuevos agentes patógenos que afectarían la existencia tanto de las poblaciones indígenas como la de los habitantes de la metrópolis colonial a lo largo de las siguientes décadas y centurias. Aunque los avances médicos del siglo XIX permitieron descubrir la naturaleza biológica del conjunto de estas enfermedades, en el pasado fue frecuente que se recurriera a explicarlas por su supuesta naturaleza divina, como los castigos enviados por un Dios airado ante los pecados de los hombres. De ahí que la historia social de las epidemias deba ser estudiada en la actualidad comprendiendo no sólo la realidad demográfica de sus efectos, sino el conjunto de creencias religiosas y médicas con los que la sociedad de cada tiempo ha tratado de asumirlos a través de cualquier tipo de medios: desde las primeras medidas administrativas que los poderes públicos del Renacimiento dictan en materia de salubridad pública y aislamiento de enfermos y mercancías, hasta las rogativas y procesiones que religiosos y creyentes realizaban implorando la clemencia divina. El profesor José Luis Betrán nos ilumina los derroteros de un país en su lucha infatigable por la salud y analiza cómo la enfermedad y las creencias dominaron durante siglos los avatares de la vida y la muerte en España.

In the wake of European expansion, disease outbreaks in the New World caused the greatest loss of life known to history. Post-contact Native American inhabitants succumbed in staggering numbers to maladies such as smallpox, measles, influenza, and typhus, against which they had no immunity. A collection of case studies by historians, geographers, and anthropologists, "Secret Judgments of God" discusses how diseases with Old World origins devastated vulnerable native populations throughout Spanish America. In their preface to the paperback edition, the editors discuss the ongoing, often heated debate about contact population history.

In this sweeping approach to the history of disease, historian J. N. Hays chronicles perceptions and responses to plague and pestilence over two thousand years of western history. Hays frames disease as a multi-dimensional construct, situated at the intersection of history, politics, culture, and medicine, and rooted in mentalities and social relations as much as in biological conditions of pathology. He shows how diseases affect social and political change, reveal social tensions, and are mediated both within and outside the realm of scientific medicine. Beginning with the legacy of Greek, Roman, and early Christian ideas about disease, the book then discusses many of the dramatic epidemics from the fourteenth through the twentieth centuries, moving from leprosy and bubonic plague through syphilis, smallpox, cholera, tuberculosis, influenza, and poliomyelitis to AIDS. Hays examines the devastating exchange of diseases between cultures and continents that ensued during the age of exploration. He also describes disease through the lenses of medical theory, public health, folk traditions, and government response. The history of epidemics is also the history of their victims. Hays pays close attention to the relationships between poverty and power and disease, using contemporary case studies to support his argument that diseases concentrate their pathological effects on the poor, while elites associate the cause of disease with the culture and habits of the poor.

The National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) is the result of many years in the planning, and it finally officially opened its doors in September 2019, just months before the entire world was tested by the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is the work of many people who represent an even larger pool of people from NCID, Singapore and the rest of the world in trying to understand and contain the SARS- CoV-2 virus. There are chapters on science, the public health response both locally and globally, as well as personal reflections from NCID and Tan Tock Seng Hospital staff and staff from other public healthcare institutions who were deployed to NCID which bring home the human impact of the pandemic. We are very grateful to all the authors for taking the time to put together their thoughtful chapters as well as the senior academics and public health leaders who have provided us with generous comments on the manuscript. We hope that the readers of the book will gain a better insight into the response to the virus from so many different perspectives. Although the pandemic has evolved far beyond the pages of this book globally, the lessons learned from the early days are still relevant. We hope that the chapters will be helpful as we review our experience of this pandemic and face the next emerging infectious disease in the years to come.This book provides a comprehensive look at many different aspects of response in Singapore to the pandemic in the crucial first several months, including clinical, laboratory, epidemiology, research, community engagement and the unprecedented challenge of outbreak involving migrant workers in dormitory settings. On a personal note, it has first-hand accounts of staff at the NCID who were at the forefront of battling COVID-19 in Singapore. It also gives a global perspective of the pandemic, together with insights into the unique Singapore experience of managing the pandemic. The Singapore response to the pandemic has been something which the global community has been very interested in and this book is the first to comprehensively describe that response from a number of different angles which will be useful to scientists, clinicians, public health professionals and policy makers.

«Las epidemias regresan cada cierto tiempo para recordarnos nuestra vulnerabilidad ante la enfermedad generalizada, las desigualdades sociales y el poder» La crisis sanitaria global producida por la COVID-19 ha representado un desafío sin precedentes para las naciones en desarrollo. Lapandemia ha desnudado la precariedad de los sistemas de salud y ha revelado las profundas grietas que dividen a los ciudadanos de países como el nuestro, donde acceder a una atención médica universal, gratuita y de calidad no es más que una ilusión. Salud en emergenciaaborda, desde una perspectiva diferente, el impacto, el desarrollo y las consecuencias de esta y otras epidemias que han mantenido en vilo al planeta durante las últimas cuatro décadas, como las del sida y el ébola. En lugar de prestar atención al discurso oficial, Marcos Cueto, reconocido especialista en historia de la medicina, ha decidido concentrarse en las percepciones y testimonios de los pacientes y los trabajadores de salud que no pertenecen a las "élites" médicas, para trazar un panorama ciertamente inquietante, pero lleno de lecciones para el futuro. Marcos Cueto ha escrito un apasionado alegato a favor de la importancia de la saludpúblicay la necesidad de alcanzar una sociedad más justa e igualitaria para poder enfrentar con mejores armas a las inevitables pandemias del futuro.
