Resumen
Introduction: A reflection resulting from an exploratory study is presented through which the content of political-official and academic discourses was investigated, related to the imminent danger of the COVID-19 pandemic in the international context and the role that corresponds to professional intervention from the social and humanistic sciences. Objective: To reveal the units of meaning that characterized the predominant discourse, as well as to offer elements of analysis about the meaning and challenges of professional interventions in the field of human health. Theoretical research methods such as historical-logical, inductive-deductive and analysis-synthesis are applied. Content analysis was the main method selected to assess the meaning of the ideas that characterized the speeches. A search was carried out for the speeches related to Covid-19, by representatives of some governments and authorities of international organizations, giving priority to what was published in the Spanish language. Results: The results show the presence of ambiguity and disorientation in the political-official discourse studied and their neglect of the contributions of the social and humanistic sciences and exposes the challenges facing social interventions. Conclusions: The contradictory, inconsistent and underutilized treatment of the contributions of the social and humanistic sciences, which has characterized the official discourse of orientation to citizens regarding the incidence of COVID-19, does not contribute to the establishment of a democratic social behavior and aware of the need for self-care. It is a challenge of the first order to reconsider the contributions of the social sciences about how to influence behavior in situations like these.

RESUMEN:
Introducción: Se presenta una reflexión resultante de estudio exploratorio a través del cual, se indagó acerca del contenido de los discursos político-oficial y académico, relacionados con el inminente peligro de la pandemia COVID-19 en el contexto internacional y el papel que corresponde a la intervención profesional desde las ciencias sociales y humanísticas. Objetivo: Develar las unidades de sentido que caracterizaron al discurso predominante, así como ofrecer elementos de análisis acerca del significado y los desafíos de las intervenciones profesionales en el ámbito de la salud humana. Se aplican métodos teóricos de investigación como el histórico-lógico, inductivo-deductivo y análisis-síntesis. El análisis de contenido fue el principal método seleccionado para valorar el sentido de las ideas que caracterizaron los discursos. Se realizó una búsqueda de los discursos vinculados con el Covid-19, de representantes de algunos gobiernos y autoridades de organismos internacionales, dando prioridad a lo publicado en idioma español. Resultados: Los resultados evidencian la presencia de ambigüedad y desorientación en el discurso político-oficial estudiado y la desatención de éstos a los aportes de las ciencias sociales y humanísticas y expone los desafíos que tienen ante sí las intervenciones sociales. Conclusiones: El tratamiento contradictorio, inconsistente y de subutilización de los aportes de las ciencias sociales y humanísticas, que ha caracterizado al discurso oficial de orientación a la ciudadanía respecto a la incidencia del COVID-19, no contribuye al establecimiento de un comportamiento social democrático y consciente de la necesidad de autocuidado. Constituye un desafío de primer orden, reconsiderar los aportes de las ciencias sociales acerca de cómo incidir sobre los comportamientos en situaciones como éstas.
