流畅的数据可视化和权威的每日感染和死亡统计数据让我们知道COVID-19大流行是一种全球现象，但局部变化仍然令人困惑。在美国和欧洲，在COVID-19大流行期间提出的一个基本问题-紧接着“事情怎么会变得如此糟糕？"-问题是“亚洲国家是如何管理得这么好的？”一些概括似乎是显而易见的。当美国人在2020年3月中旬焦急地等待联邦政府的指导时，来自国外的新闻报道显示，武汉高速公路上空无一人，韩国人排队接受鼻拭子检测，新加坡人在手机上下载接触者追踪应用程序（Goggin 2020; Lee and Lee 2020; Taylor 2020）。最普遍的印象是人们戴着口罩来减缓感染的传播。东亚国家正在采取积极的反制措施，而唐纳德·特朗普则承诺，“中国瘟疫”将“像奇迹一样”消失。1截至二零二零年十二月三十一日，即世界卫生组织报告首例COVID-19病例一年后，美国报告352，998例COVID死亡，意大利报告74，159例死亡，而韩国报告900例死亡，新加坡报告29例死亡，台湾报告7例死亡。我们欠这些差异什么？这些变量是否与当选官员的能力或对国家卫生系统的投资有关？也许这些差异更多地与难以衡量的历史轨迹有关，这些定性数据点避开了COVID跟踪数字仪表板上的清晰描绘。一些西方记者和政客急于寻求解释，
Slick data visualizations and authoritative daily tallies of infection and death statistics allow us to know the COVID-19 pandemic as a global phenomenon, but the local variabilities remain confounding. In the United States and Europe one of the fundamental questions asked throughout the COVID-19 pandemic—immediately after the question “How did things get so bad?”—is the question “How did countries in Asia manage it so well?” Some generalizations seem obvious. While Americans waited anxiously for guidance from the federal government in mid-March of 2020, news reports from abroad showed the empty Wuhan highways, South Koreans lined up for nasal swab tests, and Singaporeans downloading contact tracing apps on their phones (Goggin 2020; Lee and Lee 2020; Taylor 2020). The most universal image was that of people wearing face masks to slow the spread of infection. East Asian countries were taking aggressive countermeasures while Donald Trump was promising that the “China Plague” would simply go away,“like a miracle.” 1 By 31 December 2020, a year after the first case of COVID-19 was reported by the World Health Organization, the United States reported 352,998 COVID deaths and Italy counted 74,159 dead, while South Korea reported 900 deaths, 29 in Singapore, and 7 deaths were reported in Taiwan. To what do we owe these differences? Are these variabilities tied to the competency of elected officials, or to investments in national health systems? Perhaps the differences have more to do with hard-to-measure historical trajectories, qualitative data points that evade crisp delineation on a COVID-tracking digital dashboard. Grasping for explanations, some Western journalists and politicians dug up and
