Much of our current thinking about infectious diseases in the modern era
changed because of the SARS outbreak of 2003, which “scared the hell out
of many people,” said Poling. “It’s the first time I recall people
wearing masks and trying to distance themselves from others,
particularly in situations where someone might cough or sneeze.”
The idea that a pandemic could be controlled with social distancing and
public lockdowns is a relatively new one, said Tucker. It was first
suggested in a 2006 study by New Mexico scientist Robert J. Glass, who
got the idea from his 14-year-old daughter’s science project.

“Two government doctors, not even epidemiologists” — Richard Hatchett
and Carter Mecher, who worked for the Bush administration — “hatched the
idea [of using government-enforced social distancing] and hoped to try
it out on the next virus.” We are in effect, Tucker said, part of a
grand social experiment.
