Abstract

This paper aims to be an analytical and critical summary of the 2020-2021 publications focused on the issue of old age, coronaviruses and health policies. From the analysis of these publications, it postulates the emergence of a "health ageism", by which, in the name of "care", older adults have been confined and locked away, indicating that the health decisions taken have implied a new regression of the image of the older adult to the old, the decrepit, in a fantastic resurrection of the paradigm of vulnerability in old age.
