Abstract

Purpose/Context. This text introduces a reflection on issues such as death, pandemics and how, from the symbiosis between public health and Bioethics, it is possible to prevent the drama from being greater in this type of situations.

Methodology/Approach. A personal reflection is made and palliative care, bereavement and public health are established as thematic axes to talk to three researchers about their vision of the pandemic by COVID-19.

Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions. The conversation with three experts gives us a perspective on how, in the midst of a pandemic, actions can be taken in which solidarity and the search for the best health conditions and social support for the most vulnerable prevail over economic interests.
