We were finishing our PhD in Religious Sciences at UNICAP when the phenomenon they called covid 19 occurred. With my work ready to be defended in March 2020, schools and universities were closed as a way of preventing the spread of a virus. We lost contact with the university, our scholarship was terminated before the end of the course, and we were forced to suspend our activities. Without a salary from the university, where I had taught for 10 years, I was unable to pay for the rest of the course, nor was I helped by the university, so I was forced to quit. When I saw the madness of people in different environments and segments of life, I was encouraged to transcribe what I saw, felt and was yet another victim of this phenomenon, which they called a pandemic.
