Abstract

The article presents some reflections denouncing the multiple processes of extreme vulnerability of families living in a low-income housing in the city center of Rio de Janeiro, aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using telephone conversations and whatsApp and information collected on social networks, we call attention to the processes management of production of precariousness and of the suffering by the state and the imposition of a life experience based on isolation within isolation, due to the absence of policies regular social services with sufficient coverage that transform beneficiary subjects into “patients of the state” as opposed to active citizens.
