这篇文章反映了社会空间不平等和地理状况如何影响巴西的COVID-19大流行，以及应对大流行的行动，并有文献支持。社会空间不平等被定义为在当前全球化时期，由于剥削、掠夺和压迫的关系，一个以继承和更新的脆弱性为特征的领土的过程和结构条件。作者认为，在社会空间不平等加剧的背景下，COVID-19大流行可能会产生更严重的影响，一些地方的经济和社会危机会系统性和长期深化。尽管如此，行动仍然很重要，包括不同团体、机构和部门之间的合作。对地理状况的分析有助于理解COVID-19的继承地域和不同经验，与每个地方面对疫情的条件和行动意义密不可分。地理位置表达了自由与行动条件之间的张力。这场危机不仅是一场健康危机，而且是当今时代的一种表现，不平等被证明是21世纪世纪最严重的紧急情况。
This Essay reflects on how socio-spatial inequalities and geographic situations condition the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, as well as actions to deal with the pandemic, with arguments backed by the literature. Socio-spatial inequality is defined as a process and structural condition of a territory marked by inherited and updated vulnerabilities, resulting from a relationship of exploitation, spoliation, and oppression in the current period of globalization. The authors argue that the COVID-19 pandemic can have more serious repercussions in contexts of greater socio-spatial inequality, with systemic and chronic deepening of the economic and social crises in places. Still, actions matter, including collaboration between different groups, institutions, and sectors. The analysis of geographic situation contributes to understanding the inherited territory and different experiences with COVID-19, inextricably linked to the conditions and meanings of action in the face of the pandemic in each place. Geographic situation expresses the tension between freedom and the condition for action. The crisis is not only a health crisis, but a manifestation of the current time, and inequality proves to be the most serious emergency of the 21st century.
