Abstract
Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected people’s lives in aspects related to health, the economy, society, culture, education, tourism, etc. Common to all these aspects is “incorporeity” and “tele-existence,” which lend a sense of continuity to our lives. Žižek raised the following question: “What in our system has failed, so much so that the catastrophe caught us completely off guard despite warnings by scientists?” We described the COVID-19 epidemiological surveillance in Mexico, with reflexions of other important authors and the mistakes. For example, a contradictory situation was the creation of an alternative, parallel and centralized system for the epidemiological surveillance of suspected cases of COVID-19 in Mexico; another mistake was to compare SARS-CoV-2 with last pandemic caused by a respiratory virus, epidemic outbreak of measles continued to be monitored in several states at the same time, wrong health policies (especially Latin). This pandemic should serve as a warning and guide the conscience and legacy of subsequent generations.
