This paper presents a brief analysis of the history concerning Covid pandemic after its beginning seven months ago. In pursuing this purpose we realised three major trends: the lethal impact of denialism in countries such as United States and Brazil; the arrival of the second wave of coronavirus in Europe; and fially, the Latin American catastrophe where the indicators of people affected by disease worsen in all their countries regardless of the policies to restrain it implemented since March 2020. To discuss these three trends, we have deepened three reflctions: the cleavage between the management model of the pandemic in Asia and the Western management model; the need for a social policy (such as an emergency fiancial aid) to make health policies viable in Latin America; and at last a general reflction on the relationship between the catastrophes and the imagination.
