ABSTRACT
This coronavirus pandemic is an historic event with unprecedented features, distinct from the multiple previous episodes of the plague in animals and humans. In any case it is, and in an exemplary form, a phenomenon of language that can extend to planetary proportions and be the trigger of singular fantasies that are, indeed, objects of psychoanalysis, which in turn raise symptomatic formations and decompensations of structure with alterations in the Borromean chain. It is crucial that the people do not confuse psychology with psychoanalysis, which is immune to calculation and statistics, those most contagious of diseases that are transmitted through the media whenever the conversation turns to the "mental" advantages and disadvantages of life in confinement. It is there that lurks the danger for the life of the social and for psychoanalysis beyond the oft-praised advantages of digitalization in the bio-psycho-technological control of the telematic power over the species.
