GRACA, João Carlos  e  CORREIA, Rita Gomes. About the pandemic: facts, perceptions, and conjectures. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2020, vol.54, n.2, pp. 138-158. ISSN 0486-641X.

The covid pandemic has directly tested our societies in multiple ways, ranging from aspects regarding social trust in science to its possible over-politicization, through the priorities assigned to the functioning of economic systems and their regulation. Given that our cultural environment is marked by obvious traits of Sinophobia, China's long-term civilizational experience is confronted with that of Western societies. Nowadays frequent claims of bigger state economic intervention and increased social cooperation intersect with various other problems, namely social inequalities. The Swedish case was also the subject of consideration, with a skeptical view being expressed regarding its worth as a medical model. Finally, several complexities and uncertainties of the present situation are highlighted.

Palavras-chave : social trust in science; sinophobia; social cooperation and long term history; state economic intervention; Swedish case; uncertainties and complexities.
