Abstract:
In the spring of 1656, an epidemic of bubonic plague suddenly fell on Naples, the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The epidemic had put a strain on the government authorities, forcing them to take sometimes drastic measures but, in most cases, scarcely decisive. The current health emergency caused by Covid-19 disease has many similarities with the epidemics of the past. Here we report the parallelism among plague and Covid-19 in several respects. Taking as a paradigm the plague epidemic of Naples of 1656, we can easily understand how history, showing us how past epidemics were managed and overcome, even with the intrinsic differences due to the limits of time and scientific progress, can still give us a useful lesson to face the present.
摘要:
1656年春天,一场鼠疫疫情突然降临那不勒斯,两个西西里王国的首都。这种流行病给政府当局带来了压力,迫使他们有时采取严厉措施,但是,在大多数情况下,几乎没有决定性。当前由新冠肺炎疾病引起的卫生紧急情况与过去的流行病有许多相似之处。在这里,我们报告了鼠疫和新冠肺炎在几个方面的平行性。以1656年那不勒斯的瘟疫流行为范式,我们可以轻松地了解历史,向我们展示了过去的流行病是如何被管理和克服的,即使由于时间和科学进步的限制而存在内在差异,仍然可以给我们一个有用的教训来面对现在。
