For the bibliometrics, the sample was taken from publications in the scopus database and interviews with families that met the inclusion criteria, such as an average of 4 people in the household, who have had family members infected by the pandemic, and whose typical situation is one of poverty or vulnerability. The results allow us to affirm that the socioeconomic conditions of the families have been seriously affected in several ways, the first by the catastrophic health expenses to deal with the disease, the precarious hospital infrastructure for care that has forced them to assume the disease in many cases in their homes with private care, the measures of confinement and closure of businesses with the consequent unemployment and loss of income. A perspective of the future is also evident. The discourses of the participants show that in the study area the condition of vulnerability of poverty is present before the so-called emerging middle class. Keywords: poverty, vulnerability to poverty, covid-19, pandemic.
