"Stay at home" - a connection between multiple voices

Abstract

This article is an excerpt of the research carried out at UAE in Comparative Private and Administrative Law, under the title Legislative Omission and Covid-19: Civil Liability of the State in Portuguese Law compared to Brazilian Law. Focusing on the Civil Liability of the State by Legislative Omission, the theory of Civil Liability was applied to the pandemic chaos that deprived citizens of social coming and going, echoing the Stay-at-Home order / orientation worldwide. First, because social contact put the citizen at risk in the face of the imminence of contagion by the Coronavirus; secondly, because, in case the individual was contaminated, the public health system did not guarantee care, due to the collapse of its capacity. The research placed the Stay-at-Home statement at the center of the methodological analysis, from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics, as a method of analysis.
