Abstract

This article is a reflection on a pandemic of viral origin that demonstrates the structural vulnerability of the social world. The purpose of this analysis is to focus on preventive health policies in contrast to context of health attention and the expression of the common sense by different actors. The contradictions between action and coercion feeding social and institutional anomie, in a dialectic with asymmetric relationships tending to generate conflicts. The economic outlook was compromised due to its ideology of consumption, the political outlook showed that there was an absence of Nation-states due to the political confidence of decision making by their leaders, and the outlook on health has confirmed precariousness (null infrastructure) hospitality, few human resources in health and limited inputs). The phenomenon of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world needs not only to be analyzed from the biomedical perspectives, but also social and politics implications and the   changes in general and particular areas of people, which must start to rethink a new social organization due new global order crises that will arise.
