This article, carried out as part of the fulfillment of disciplines of the Doctoral Program in Communication and Semiotics held at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, aims to reflect on the culturaland biopolitical interactions adopted in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic in Brazil between March and June 2020. For this, we used the analysis of the 50 most accessed channels on Youtube in the last 4 months, investigating whether and how users manifest their behaviors and interests through their respective searches in these media. Through these results, a brief analysis was carried out on the effectiveness of the implemented policies and their possible consequences.
