Un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de la pandemia Sars-CoV-2, verificando evidencias de Misthanasia, incluso en territorios sin escasez de recursos humanos y económicos, debido a la priorización de la estabilización económica y la naturalización de las muertes dentro de las políticas públicas nacionales. . Como territorio de observación, el Reino Unido ha tenido sus datos producidos y comunicados de manera oficial, en relación con la pandemia COVID-19, analizados según criterios analógicos y comparativos. Fue posible seguir la evolución del fenómeno pandémico en el tiempo, en virtud de la recolección regular y ejecutada en condiciones relativamente estandarizadas, lo que permitió crear una exposición analítica en panel, teniendo como modelo comparativo los datos recolectados en Alemania, durante el mismo. período. El origen de las fuentes de datos producidas provienen del Instituto de Métrica y Evaluación de la Salud (IHME); Coronavirus Worldometer. Por tanto, concluye que Misthanasia caracterizó el rumbo de las políticas públicas y las actitudes del gobierno del Reino Unido ante la contaminación por Sars-CoV-2, exponiendo a los ciudadanos a los riesgos de una enfermedad que no muestra predilecciones de clase y falta de respeto a las fincas, y que tiene un fuerte impacto en aquellos que son vulnerables. La naturalización de la muerte se configura en el aspecto primordial de la necropolítica y el necropoder, anteponiendo la economía a la salud en diferentes Estados, en el fenómeno pandémico de escala global.
