En el contagi

The coronavirus epidemic has many numbers to be the most important health emergency of our time. His audacity reveals something we already knew but had difficulty measuring: the multiplicity of levels that connect us to each other, as well as the complexity of the world in which we live, their social, political, economic, and also interpersonal logics. and psychic. It is the measure of how our world has become global. The epidemic encourages us to think of ourselves as members of a community. It forces us into a fantasy effort that we are not accustomed to making: seeing ourselves inextricably linked to others and taking into account their presence in our individual decisions. In contagion we are a unique organism, we are once again a community, and what we do or stop doing does not affect us enough. In contagion the lack of solidarity is, more than anything, a defect of imagination.
