Abstract
This article exposes experiences of older people that show the diversity of the everyday lifestyle at the old age during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile. Virtual qualitative interviews were conducted with to a woman, a man and a couple of old age people of different age and socioeconomical conditions. The results show a series of strategies deployed to overcome the changes and the transformation of their everyday life: job, affective, economical, residential, and familiar. It is concluded that older people have different strengths and agency capacities, acquired from their biographical experiences, which allows them to face the sociosanitary crisis, from their position as vulnerable and of high-risk population. Their strategies are not only marked by their old age condition, but also, they are crossed by the social, laboral, gender and residential position.
