American Contagions
A concise history of how American law has shaped-and been
shaped by-the experience of contagion
\"Contrarians and the civic-minded alike will find Witt's
legal survey a fascinating resource\"- Kirkus , starred
review
\"Professor Witt's book is an original and thoughtful contribution
to the interdisciplinary study of disease and American law.
Although he covers the broad sweep of the American experience of
epidemics from yellow fever to COVID-19, he is especially timely in
his exploration of the legal background to the current disaster of
the American response to the coronavirus. A thought-provoking,
readable, and important work.\"-Frank Snowden, author of
Epidemics and Society From yellow fever to smallpox to
polio to AIDS to COVID-19, epidemics have prompted Americans to
make choices and answer questions about their basic values and
their laws. In five concise chapters, historian John Fabian Witt
traces the legal history of epidemics, showing how infectious
disease has both shaped, and been shaped by, the law. Arguing that
throughout American history legal approaches to public health have
been liberal for some communities and authoritarian for others,
Witt shows us how history's answers to the major questions brought
up by previous epidemics help shape our answers today: What is the
relationship between individual liberty and the common good? What
is the role of the federal government, and what is the role of the
states? Will long-standing traditions of government and law give
way to the social imperatives of an epidemic? Will we let the
inequities of our mixed tradition continue?

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on Reported Lyme Disease, United States, 2020
Surveys indicate US residents spent more time outdoors in 2020 than in 2019, but fewer tick bite–related emergency department visits and Lyme disease laboratory tests were reported. Despite ongoing exposure, Lyme disease case reporting for 2020 might be artificially reduced due to coronavirus disease–associated changes in healthcare-seeking behavior.

Getting America back to work
\"Over the last two months, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a robust American economy into disarray, completely shutting down major business sectors and putting millions of people out of work overnight. With so much at stake and with all options seemingly on the table, it is crucial that we commit ourselves to the long-term goal of restoring the sorts of free-market policies that led to the Trump Economic Boom prior to the China Virus crisis. Although massive government interventions that Barack Obama pursued following the Great Recession might presently appear beneficial or even essential, a return to Obama's \"new normal\" of stagnant growth would lead to disastrous and persisting economic damage. We must instead return, as soon as is safely possible, to the Trump model of economic prosperity that produced the strongest labor market in modern history\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Pandemic, Antisemitism, and the Lachrymose Conception of Jewish History
Even before the COVID-19 crisis, recent acts of antisemitic violence, including shootings and stabbings, have prompted widespread responses. In their discussions of the issue, members of the news media and Jewish community leaders alike commonly cite the string of anti-Jewish attacks that have occurred in recent years in the United States-in Pittsburgh, Poway, and Brooklyn. Commentators analyzing the December 2019 Hanukkah attack in Monsey, New York commonly referred back to these and other recent cases of anti-Jewish violence to emphasize the rise of antisemitic violence.8 A headline to Deborah Lipstadt's piece published in The Atlantic following the Monsey attack declared: \"Jews Are Going Underground.\"
