Abstract
The Coronavirus outbreak is taking pandemic proportions. This event, which brings together scientists the world over, also raises questions for psychoanalysts. It raises questions about the body as a given, existing before any considerations of its psychic condition. We believe psychoanalysts must rise to the challenge and tell us what this predominant status of the body can teach us. Monique Lauret, member of the European Foundation of Psychoanalysis (EFP), who has been working in China for many years and speaks Chinese, provides us with a reading of the manner in which Chinese officials dealt with this outbreak. Not only from a political perspective, as is often done, but in light of the age-old culture of the Middle Kingdom. We therefore submit this initial text to psychoanalysts, for reflection.
