Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic constituted a public health emergency of international concern without precedent in the 21st century. It caused a historic crisis with an impact on well-being and development in all societies in the world, generating profound changes in the political, social, economic and health orders. Like any crisis, it demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses to which societies are exposed. The extraordinary development of molecular biology, with unprecedented achievements, made it possible for scientists, a month after the first case, to sequence the genome of the virus and publish it online to give it the possibility of being used by different laboratories in the world with research and diagnosis purposes, while the race against time began to achieve the formula for the vaccines that arrived in less than a year. Additionally, the Internet became a fundamental ally to provide answers in health, education and social contacts.
