我们目前正处于2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）蔓延的全球大流行之中。虽然我们不知道这种情况将如何展开或解决，但我们确实了解它如何适应现有的模式和关系，特别是那些与安全、脆弱性和风险的社会文化结构有关的模式和关系。我们可以看到监测动态的证据，这些证据涉及如何测量、跟踪、预测和监管身体和病原体。我们可以理解威胁是如何被种族化的，机构是如何以及为什么摇摇欲坠的，以及社交媒体如何助长社会分裂。换句话说，我们的学术界可以为这场对话增添很多东西。在这篇快速反应的社论中，我们介绍了疾病监测的框架装置，并讨论了监测研究的方向如何帮助我们批判性地思考当前的危机及其可能的后果。
We are currently in the midst of a global pandemic with the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). While we do not know how this situation will unfold or resolve, we do have insight into how it fits within existing patterns and relations, particularly those pertaining to sociocultural constructions of (in)security, vulnerability, and risk. We can see evidence of surveillance dynamics at play with how bodies and pathogens are being measured, tracked, predicted, and regulated. We can grasp how threat is being racialized, how and why institutions are flailing, and how social media might be fueling social divisions. There is, in other words, a lot that our scholarly community could add to the conversation. In this rapid-response editorial, we provide an introduction to the framing devices of disease surveillance and discuss how a surveillance studies orientation could help us think critically about the present crisis and its possible aftermath.
