The present text is required to be read, as a reflection in/from the self-isolation, thus opening and implying some ideatic-relevant accents, necessary both for a philosophical and political evaluation of the illness (here, „evaluation” is a metaphorically term, part of the assertion delivered by Susan Sontag, for whom "some illnesses – regarding here and now, Coronavirus – seem more open for a philosophical-political meditation"), through a dedicated dossier (in European Journal of Psychoanalysis, February-March 2020, focused upon the relationship between Coronavirus and Philosophers), and through a virtual-dialogic with the Italian political philosopher Roberto Esposito. The dialogue is more necessary and actual, as it happens just when Romania announces the first case of Coronavirus death, and Italy continues to surpass – unfortunate and tragic – China, in the highest death ranking!
