This book addresses the Covid-19 health crisis as a total social fact (Mauss and Lévi-Strauss), which intensely impacted all spheres of life and restored anthropology's holistic and interdisciplinary character. From this perspective, five axes are analyzed: the transformation of spatialities and temporalities due to confinement; popular solidarities expressed in communal kitchens; the contributions of social sciences to understanding this health and political crisis in Peru; and a historical comparison between the Covid-19 syndemic and the 16th-century Taki Onqoy. Likewise, it reflects on the subjective times of waiting and imminence, the fear of contagion and death amplified by over-information and fake news, as well as how interpretive communities conditioned the way each person and family experienced the pandemic.
