Uniformity and divergence: Covid 19 pandemic of the 21st century

Abstract

This text presents a very primay progress, although it is timely because it is associated with the current health emergency. It is a quick investigation that we are developing from the Anthropology and Health Program, Department of Social Anthropology of the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences. According to the proposal of the program management and the greement of its members, the registration phase began in the first week of april this year, when the pandemic was just beginning to manifest itself in the country. The measures taken, the attitudes of the authorities, of health professionals, of people in general at that time had the immediacy of surprise, of shared fear. Here the theoretical-methodological proposal is captured, the foundations from which this qualitative research, of an ethnographic type, was developed in its first time. Some general concepts are discussed and the actions that were carried out are outlined, as well as the steps that are missing to reach expected results.
