The history and future of the pandemic present : The role of experience and predictions in Sweden’s management of COVID-19

Författare

  • Tobias Olofsson

Summary, in Swedish

Our understanding of the present is informed by the past and the future as ideas about where we are right now are shaped by our memories of where we have been and our expectations about where we are going. This paper explores how the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced both by experiences from past pandemics and predictions about the present. The paper focuses on the Swedish Public Health Agency and the work undertaken by the agency to make sense of and communicate evolving knowledge about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 during the first two waves of the epidemic in Sweden. To accomplish this, the paper analyzes a corpus that gathers archival data, in-depth interviews, and transcripts from Public Health Agency press briefings and parliamentary hearings.
