Abstract

The pandemic caused by the exponential expansion of a virus of unusual intensity and lethality, forces us to reflect on its origin. In view of its devastating effects on a global scale, doctors, virologists and bacteriologists are investigating this phenomenon. It also corresponds to the social sciences, especially political science and within this, to geopolitics, to concur with its theoretical apparatus, its methodology and hypotheses proper to the same effort, but projected around the struggle for world hegemony in which this global crisis is inserted. Accidentality, calculated intimidation or genocidal impulse can be located, hypothetically, in the origin of the pandemic.
