Volume 55 available soon: During the spring of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted the production of volume 55. The authors who were working on their articles and the editor suspended their work, and they plan to include that scholarship in a later issue. To preserve the continuity of The Record, the editor and support team decided to compile an “emergency” issue for volume 55 around the theme of epidemics that have impacted Southeast Texas. Instead of formal research articles, the content includes a variety of source material arranged around specific (or “acute”) public health events: the epidemics that displaced Native peoples of Southeast Texas, yellow fever, influenza, bubonic plague, and COVID-19. Dr. Margot Gage Witvliet of Lamar University permitted The Record to reprint her essay and provided a follow up about coping with the long-term symptoms of COVID-19. Readers may notice several common themes connecting these episodes—such as how disease often followed trade, or how civic and medical leaders struggled to balance public health against economic hardship, or how fear and rumors misinformed communities.
