No mar brasileiro agitado pela COVID-19, não estamos todos no mesmo barco

The COVID-19 pandemic is the worst health crisis of the century. Initially, there seemed consensus that the SARS-CoV-2 did not choose class, race or region, spreading rapidly from one body to another, however, the ways in which bodies are disposed in the world vary from social markers of inequalities. In Brazil, the disease has highlighted important existing inequities, which followed its course with the pandemic (with some aggravations); and, in this article, some of them are discussed. When assessing measures to contain the virus, some aim to protect a particular segment of society, but leave others completely unprotected, highlighting those who do not have access to the Internet; the unemployed; informal workers; blacks and browns; those with lower income and schooling; and those living in regions North and Northeast. The pandemic in Brazil has social class, race, color and region; and in this "sea agitated by it", some people are on ships with all-inclusive, others in speedboats, a part in rowboats, and so many others going through the swim. The country needs to think about which project to use to cope with the pandemic: would it be a project that looks at vulnerabilities or will it be what is ongoing - which lets a part of the population die, especially the poorest? In addition to the challenges of the disease, the country still experiences the impasse of having an unprepared ship commander, whose stance is clearly unscientific and negationist, leaving the ship adrift. It’s important to discuss the principles of the Sistema Unico de Saude – SUS, to ensure that they are legitimized at this moment. The adoption of public policies to overcome inequalities is urgent, with strong social participation, enabling these groups to be strengthened to face future challenges; giving, at least, more dignified conditions to cross other "seas or storms". All lives matter, however, it is sad to recognize that not all were built to matter. That is why strengthening is paramount: all lives matter, because living is everyone's right.
