As much of the world has gone into complete lockdown, woefully unprepared, many countries have turned to South Korea for answers, given its handling of COVID‐19 Rapid and widespread testing, expansive surveillance assemblage and selected quarantine practices are upheld by many countries and public health professionals as superb, a model to adopt But this is not South Korea’s only lesson Indeed, the world is on edge, scrambling in the here and now, but trying to figure out what happens to sociality going forward

During a recent medical check‐up in Michigan, I was asked to sign a form that read ‘I know that the practice of medicine is not an exact science and that outcomes may The control of the body as control of reality: ‘Being able to hold your breath for 10 seconds or more without coughing or feeling discomfort DOES NOT mean you are free from the coronavirus’, an important myth linked to a ritual of performance of symptoms and to the hermeneutical capability of reading bodies. The use of food to prevent the unexpected: ‘Drinking alcohol does not protect you against COVID‐19’, ‘there is no evidence [...] that eating garlic has protected people from the new coronavirus’, the myth that certain foods produce a purification of the subject. Science is a fertile terrain of myths. The technological capacity (5G and drones) to track and infect a distant subject, knowledge about the transmission of diseases by mosquitos or the microbial effects of food and temperature produce powerful stories. Myths are events that reveal important ways in which science is used in the narratives that we produce when the history of the present is made so unexpected.

It almost appears paradoxical, but in these uncertain and anxiety‐ridden SARS‐CoV‐2 times concerns with the social have returned with a vengeance By social here I do not only mean the manifold forms of kindness, solidarity and community that have emerged on so many levels and scales, but also calls for a new kind of socialism, for alternative forms of economic distribution, production and justice To be fair, such calls did exist in queer, feminist and radical left communities before COVID‐19 made it palpably clear that economic practices exclusively steeped in practices of private entrepreneurship, fiscal austerity and supposedly self‐regulatory markets do not work in the interest of all Yet the ways in which in many parts of the world not only significant emergency response benefit packages are being offered to many, but some economic sectors have even come to a halt, have shown that an economic system many thought it was impossible to slow down In other words, the once unimaginable has become possible
