Reflections in times of pandemic: contributions from occupational therapy

The COVID-19 pandemic is a social, complex, chaotic, and non-linear event, leaving lessons that transcend the figures, statistics, Intensive Care Units, epidemiology, and the politics of fear and death. This text reflects on the sociopolitical contexts and the States and Governments' responses from the perspective of biopolitics, southern epistemologies, and citizenship, and their expression in different population groups. The elements derived from this reflection can nurture occupational therapies' practices to respond and propose hopeful pathways.
