This paper reviews both ethical and mental health problems, pointing out difficulties between the state and the civil society for working together against the pandemics, and also stating the presence of population groups that instead of protecting themselves, ignore regulations for social distancing and isolation facilitating the transmission of the viral agent. An explanatory scientific and moral hypothesis is proposed aiming to explain such conduct.

En el artículo se revisan diversos problemas éticos y de salud mental destacando, entre ellos, la dificultad de colaboración entre Estado/Sociedad para luchar unidos contra la pandemia, y la presencia de grupos poblacionales que, en lugar de protegerse, ignoran las normas de aislamiento social facilitando la transmisión del agente viral. Se propone una hipótesis -científica y moral explicativa- de tales conductas. Además, aprovechando la energía que brinda toda crisis y la posibilidad de convertirla en corriente de desarrollo, se sugiere una serie de medidas de inversión gubernamental con el potencial de corregir los problemas de salud mental que afectan, por siglos, a la sociedad peruana, para impulsar su desarrollo moral y económico.Colegio Médico del Perú2020-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/167110.35663/amp.2020.374.1671ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol 37 No 4 (2020): October - DecemberACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 37 Núm. 4 (2020): Octubre-Diciembre1728-59171018-8800reponame:Acta Médica Peruanainstname:Colegio Médico del Perúinstacron:CMPspahttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/1671/1239Copyright (c) 2020 ACTA MEDICA PERUANAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16712024-07-26T07:32:55Z
