One in five 18- to 24-year-olds don’t wash their hands at festivals. Here’s what you need to know about hand hygiene
You might think that should go without saying – but it doesn’t. In 2023, a UK survey of 1,500 18- to 24-year-old festival goers found that 22% of young people do not clean their hands the whole time they are at festival, even if they are there for days. A further 26% said they cleaned their hands only once a day – and 31% admitted to not cleaning their hands even after going to the toilet.

The Need for Historical Fluency in Pandemic Law and Policy
The primary claim of this essay is that historical fluency is required for effective work in crafting legal and policy interventions as a part of public health emergency preparedness and response (PHEPR). At a broad level, public health law is explicitly recognized as a key systems-level component of PHEPR practice.11 This essay therefore focuses on the extent to which historical fluency is necessary or at least useful to all aspects of PHEPR that draw on or deploy legal and policy mechanisms (e.g., design, planning, implementation, dissemination, monitoring and evaluation, etc.). The essay collectively refers to these legal and policy mechanisms as epidemic law and policy response (ELAPR). Part I explains the concept of historical fluency. Part II explores the foundations of public health law both as a way of highlighting key structural features of ELAPR and in supporting the claim that historical fluency is critical for ELAPR. Part III applies the previous arguments to a specific case study to highlight the promise and power of historical fluency – the outbreak of bubonic plague in San Francisco in 1900. Tracking this essay’s pragmatic focus, part IV offers several recommendations for how specifically historical fluency in public health law and ethics can be operationalized in PHEPR practice and policy. Part V summarizes and concludes.
