Abstract

At this moment in the history of humanity, we have witnessed a restriction of our individual freedoms justified by a common good: the limitation of contagion by infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) in the context of this health emergency. In this article I propose to address the consequences of a stricter health policy in order to face a disease that has plagued us for more than 3 decades: violence. Through a brief historical review, it is intended to carry out a philosophical reflection on the theoretical foundations of decisions in bioethics and public health, as well as to understand the complex panorama of the increase in violence and its media and cultural apology in Mexico. Finally, a review is made of the work of Dr Gary Slutkin and his team of collaborators in Chicago who, through studies in the area of neuroscience, defend a shocking thesis: violence behaves like an infectious disease. The conclusions that emerge from this thesis depend on the reader, but we should ask ourselves: if violence is an infectious disease, what freedoms are we willing to give up to contain this public health problem?
