“…His resolve to remind audiences that the virus came from China, to frame COVID-19 as a "Chinese virus," and to speculate about the opportunity costs of Chinese decisions, may continue to incite acts of violence against people of Asian descent, in addition to anyone presumed to be of Asian descent or a foreigner (see Margolin, 2020, March 27;Roberto, Johnson, & Rauhaus, 2020;Tavernise & Oppel, 2020, April 10). In effect, the President's rhetoric may soon sanction or prolong acts of administrative evil like the ongoing maltreatment of immigrants, asylum seekers, and deportees (see Garrett, 2020). This dialogue's qualitative content analysis also corroborates the observation by Clark and Nickels (2020) that President Trump has "framed himself as a 'wartime President,' leaning into the idea of shared sacrifice as we combat an 'invisible enemy'" (p. 4).…”

From the leader’s lips, to the public’s ears: The state of exception, administrative evil, and the enemy in President Trump’s rhetoric during COVID-19

In the throes of COVID-19, heads of state like President Donald J. Trump have the power to declare a state of exception and use their moment in the limelight to help the public make sense of the pandemic. Unfortunately, sometimes leaders use the state of exception as a vehicle for acts of administrative evil against would-be enemies. Therefore, it is essential to interrogate whether heads of state like President Trump are using the limelight to harm others. As I show through a qualitative content analysis of 87 communication events, instead of unifying and reassuring the public with cogent solutions, President Trump has leveraged the spotlight to name enemies: China, COVID-19, and the press. Consequently, the President may soon sanction or intensify acts of administrative evil in the United States.

“…Underrepresented minorities, low socioeconomic workers, incarcerated and detained populations, immigrant and refugee communities, orphans, and housing-insecure individuals, are all likely to be disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and the response to its spread. [ 405 406 407 408 409 410 ] Advocacy for equitable policies, practices, and procedures that protect our vulnerable populations can help (at least in part) mitigate this undue burden. In the US, persistent attempts to dismantle expanded health coverage added another layer of complexity to the already tense situation characterized by record unemployment and the vulnerability of underinsured populations with an already limited access to care.…”

What started as a cluster of patients with a mysterious respiratory illness in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, was later determined to be coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The pathogen severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel Betacoronavirus , was subsequently isolated as the causative agent. SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted by respiratory droplets and fomites and presents clinically with fever, fatigue, myalgias, conjunctivitis, anosmia, dysgeusia, sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. In most critical cases, symptoms can escalate into acute respiratory distress syndrome accompanied by a runaway inflammatory cytokine response and multiorgan failure. As of this article's publication date, COVID-19 has spread to approximately 200 countries and territories, with over 4.3 million infections and more than 290,000 deaths as it has escalated into a global pandemic. Public health concerns mount as the situation evolves with an increasing number of infection hotspots around the globe. New information about the virus is emerging just as rapidly. This has led to the prompt development of clinical patient risk stratification tools to aid in determining the need for testing, isolation, monitoring, ventilator support, and disposition. COVID-19 spread is rapid, including imported cases in travelers, cases among close contacts of known infected individuals, and community-acquired cases without a readily identifiable source of infection. Critical shortages of personal protective equipment and ventilators are compounding the stress on overburdened healthcare systems. The continued challenges of social distancing, containment, isolation, and surge capacity in already stressed hospitals, clinics, and emergency departments have led to a swell in technologically-assisted care delivery strategies, such as telemedicine and web-based triage. As the race to develop an effective vaccine intensifies, several clinical trials of antivirals and immune modulators are underway, though no reliable COVID-19-specific therapeutics (inclusive of some potentially effective single and multi-drug regimens) have been identified as of yet. With many nations and regions declaring a state of emergency, unprecedented quarantine, social distancing, and border closing efforts are underway. Implementation of social and physical isolation measures has caused sudden and profound economic hardship, with marked decreases in global trade and local small business activity alike, and full ramifications likely yet to be felt. Current state-of-science, mitigation strategies, possible therapies, ethical considerations for healthcare workers and policymakers, as well as lessons learned for this evolving global threat and the eventual return to a “new normal” are discussed in this article.

“…The COVID-19 crisis reminds us all of the value of public administration. Garrett (2020) recently published the first article about COVID-19 in Administrative Theory & Praxis of what we imagine will be many more in the coming years. Our dialog suggests that one of the most crucial charges of public administrators rests on the ability to create reliable signals of community responsibility in the public domain.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that a sense of community responsibility is crucial to mitigate the effects of viral spread. Many citizens across the world have heeded the call to isolate and self-distance, yet large numbers of individuals do not seem to understand their responsibility for others. This article explores how a sense of community responsibility is born in community contexts, how various features of a crisis impact community responsibility, and how public administration plays a crucial role in facilitating mitigation and solutions to crisis. The article also explores the utility of the Community Experience Model in crisis management contexts, and sets the stage for further exploration of community experiences in disaster and crisis scholarship and practice.
