在最长的一段时间里（在过去几周奇怪地加速的短暂性中），英国政府没有实施其大陆邻国为应对COVID-19而迅速承诺的封锁。很难挖掘出这种缓慢反应的论据，因为即使是来自最自由主义的政治家，也隐藏在一层层更为谨慎的信息中，即呆在家里拯救生命。但有一个时刻，维持日常生活和生计的权利与遏制病毒的公共卫生措施相权衡。虽然最初的（缺乏）封锁政策与流行病学模型一致-长期被遗弃的群体免疫概念-我们知道证据总是沉浸在价值观和政治中（Runciman 2020）。我感兴趣的是以这种方式分离“健康”和“生命”的价值观，以及我们集体意识到这必须重新配置。现在这些逻辑至少暂时消失了，在封锁下的“生活”是什么样子的？关于生命力（Canguilhem，2001）、同居和关系，我们能提出什么新的问题呢？自由意志主义者声称公共“健康”与个人“生命”不一致，这当然是一种转移注意力的说法。当我听到我的妈妈，焦虑地去商店，绝望地说，“我只是希望我能自我克制”，或者我的祖母要求我们让她在她的曝光方面听天由命，有限的个人自主权的概念立即被暴露为不可行。即使是在孤立的情况下，也不可能不影响他人或不受他人的影响--不仅是通过感染，而且是通过现在也许比以往任何时候都更不可避免的不断变化和紧张的社会纽带。
For the longest time (in the strangely accelerated temporality of the past weeks), the UK government held back on implementing the lockdown that its mainland neighbours had swiftly committed to in response to COVID‐19. It’s difficult to dredge up the arguments for this slow response, since buried in layers of far more cautious messages to Stay at Home and Save Lives, even from the most libertarian politicians. But there was a moment when the right to maintain daily life and livelihoods was weighed against public health measures to contain the virus. While initial policies on the (lack of) lockdown were consistent with an epidemiological model–that long‐abandoned idea of herd immunity–we know that evidence is always steeped in values and politics (Runciman 2020). I am interested in the values that were separating ‘health’and ‘life’in this way, and our collective realisation that this had to be reconfigured. Now those logics are at least temporarily dissolving, what does ‘life’look like under lockdown? What new questions can we ask about vitality (Canguilhem 2001), cohabitation and relationality within and beyond our spaces of so‐called social isolation?The libertarian claim that public ‘health’was at odds with individual ‘life’was of course a red herring. When I hear my mum, wracked with anxiety about going to the shops, say despairingly,‘I just wish I could be self‐sufficient’, or my grandmother ask us to let her be fatalistic when it comes to her exposure, notions of bounded individual autonomy are immediately exposed as unworkable. Even in isolation it is impossible not to affect and be affected by others–not only through infection but through the shifting and straining social bonds that are now, perhaps more than ever, inescapable.
