El artículo presenta un análisis sincrónico de los padecimientos que acompañaron la emergencia de la COVID-19, la gestión e impactos del confinamiento y un análisis de cómo los medios de comunicación narraron esos fenómenos en los barrios populares de las Áreas Metropolitanas de Buenos Aires y Gran Resistencia, entre marzo y noviembre 2020. Se aplicaron métodos cuantitativos a fuentes secundarias para describir la pobreza y las sindemias, y se realizó un relevamiento etnográfico y mediático semana a semana en 38 barrios con limitaciones en el abastecimiento de agua y hacinamiento crítico. Como resultado, la COVID-19 emerge en sindemia con dengue, sarampión y tuberculosis y las medidas de prevención incrementan la violencia institucional y de género, el efecto Werther y desatención en otros padecimientos. La etnografía revela sindemia con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles y los efectos de la violencia estructural sobre la salud. El análisis de los medios muestra interés sobre los barrios asociado al temor de contagio, pero una vez disipado, desaparecen de la agenda mediática.

Abstract:
This article presents a synchronic analysis of the diseases that were present during the emergence of COVID-19, the management and impact of lockdown; and analyses how the media narrated these phenomena in working-class neighborhoods of the Metropolitan area of Buenos Aires and Gran Resistencia, between March and November 2020. Quantitative methods were used on secondary sources to describe poverty and syndemics, and we conducted ethnographic and media research week by week on 38 neighborhoods with shortages of water and critical overcrowding. As results, COVID-19 syndemically emerged with dengue, measles and tuberculosis and the isolation measures increase the institutional and gender violence, the Werther effect and the neglect of other illnesses. Ethnography reveals syndemics with non-communicable diseases and the effects of structural violence on health. The analysis of the media shows interest in the neighborhoods associated with the fear of contagiousness, but once this is dispelled, they disappearthe media agenda.
