Has the Covid-19 pandemic changed everything or has it made the familiar clearer?

Summative Writing Assignment – ‘Has the Covid-19 pandemic changed everything or has it made the familiar clearer?’ The summative writing assignment is a 1500 word essay worth 50% of your total HIS mark. The title derives from the following extract, which comes from an introductory essay to a recent special issue of the journal Medical Anthropology Quarterly. “In different ways and for different reasons, a sense that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything has come to dominate public, personal, and intellectual life…The social entanglements it created have been both for better and for worse, but they have always exceeded the pathogen’s physical effects on bodies. Anthropologists recognize in these patterns not only a rupture but also the familiar, as if what can be seen now is not new but has simply been made clearer.” (Adams and Nading 2020: 461). Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer, drawing on relevant concepts and approaches introduced in Health, Illness and Society Part 1 as well as your personal experience.
