Abstract
Since the end of last year, to be more exact since December 31, 2019, the world has been in shock, is in an interlude or is at “war” as French President Emmanuel Macron made known (2020) (1) , as a consequence of the unexpected appearance of a new virus: the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes the COVID-19 disease. Regarding this, one wonders: what, then, is a virus? When checking the Internet, one finds that a virus is a microscopic infectious agent, almost invisible to the human eye and that it can only be captured through special equipment. So why say that we are at war? When it comes to an invisible organism that can be managed particularly from medicine; perhaps they say it because of its spatial implications that are not only objectified in the body, but also in other spaces outside the body such as the city and the house. Today, we can say that an external agent coexists with us, personified.
