The Trump Administration: Immigration, Racism, and COVID-19 Professor Goodwin and Professor Chemerinsky asserts "COVID-19 is the greatest public health threat the United States has experienced in over a century. Not since the 1918 influenza pandemic has the nation experienced such a dramatic menace to its health. Not unlike recent influenzas, the 1918 influenza “was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the virus was first detected in the United States by military personnel in the spring of 1918 and within a year it had spread worldwide, infecting “500 million people or one-third of the world's population ...” Health officials estimated that at least fifty million people worldwide perished due to the disease, with “about 675,000 [deaths] occurring in the United States.” Then, as now, xenophobia and racism shape political discourse and public understanding about disease, origins, and infection. Even though the earliest recorded cases of the 1918 influenza were confirmed at Fort Riley, Kansas, this H1N1 influenza became widely described as the “Spanish Flu.” In essence, associating the 1918 H1N1 with maligned southern Europeans obscured the American genesis story and complimented the “junk science” narrative of the bourgeoning eugenics movement in the United States. As one commentary explains, “[s]ome, looking for a point of origin of the so-called Spanish influenza that would eventually take the lives of 600,000 Americans, point to that day in Kansas” where “the first domino would fall signaling the commencement of the first wave of the 1918 influenza."
