In this paper, we analyze the transformative living conditions for middle classes in the City of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires in relation to the house and the body during these first two months of mandatory isolation. By gathering notes and records of our researches, we seek to problematize the visions that simplify the situation of confinement. The queries that organize the text are: What structural inequalities are revealed by this pandemic? Which modulations do middle-class people experience in the face of this?
