ABSTRACT The beginning of the pandemic, besides bringing anxiety due to the possibility of getting sick and dying, happened in the middle of an intense crisis for the change on paradigms in the day-by-day of all families. Homes become work places, school areas, play areas, etc. All these changes are not easy to be accepted. During this pandemonium, other pandemics arise, such as more anxiety, social isolation and the lack of empathy by the government towards the people's suffering, science disagreements as well as the surge or myths and utopias. About these utopias connected to maniac nature, there is the idea that the post-pandemic phase will be the 'new normal'. As if a kind of magic change caused by painful experience, could change people for the better. History shows us that that's not exactly how things work.

Keywords : pandemic; trauma; anxiety; trivialization of death; crisis; utopia.
