| Sumario: | The spread of infections of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the COVID-19 disease in Argentina was followed by a series of situations that multiplied throughout the country where people suspected of having contracted the virus were victims of cruel accusations. In some cases, these were accompanied by threats, intimidation and / or complaints; in others, they involved direct violence against the person or their property. The horrifying painting caught the attention of the media of all scales, of some institutions linked to the treatment of surrounding issues and of some researchers such as who writes. In this brief and exploratory article I will share some provisional ideas based on a brief bibliographic review on the subject that seek to open questions about these phenomena. I would particularly like to focus on a specific event linked to the unequal capacities that different social groups have to face this type of situation. To do this, starting from a crossed procedure of medical and social metaphors, I will propose the category of moral immunity of people in order to think about an additional modality of social inequality in pandemic contexts. |
