Dieser Beitrag ist Teil des Forums COVID-19: Perspektiven in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften. Die Spanische Grippe 1918–1920 war mit 50 bis 100 Millionen Toten eines der gravierendsten Seuchenereignisse der Geschichte. Dennoch reagierten westdeutsche Behörden bei zwei weiteren Pandemien 1957/1958 und 1968–1970 mit „geduldige[m] Ausharren“ (Rengeling 2017). Erst ein veränderter Erinnerungsdiskurs führte zu einer „allumfassenden Prävention“, und doch lag die „allumfassende Prävention“ (ebd.) damit noch weit unterhalb dessen, was seit der weltweiten Verbreitung des Corona-Virus SARS-CoV‑2 praktiziert wird. This paper is part of Forum COVID-19: Perspectives in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Spanish Flu 1918–1920 caused between 50 and 100 million deaths. Despite this, West German officials ignored the pandemics of 1957/1958 and 1968–1970. Patient perseverance seems to be an appropriate label for the lack of any action. The appearance of new viruses had a massive impact on the discourse concerning pandemics: “patient perseverance” became “omnipresent prevention.” The actual measures against SARS-CoV‑2 exceed the “omnipresent prevention” used during the 2009 swine flu pandemic by far.
