Manaos, Brazil (CNN) – Tensa calma afuera del pequeño hospitaal in Iranduba, Brasilië, se hizo añicos cuando llego ambulancia.
Adentro, the doctors the and cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a woman with an intention finally useless to save his life. A source from the hospital told CNN that Murió had been told that the child was alive.
In the four hours that CNN carried Hilda Freire to the hospital on Tuesday, three patients of covid-19 murieron.
The chaos has been converted to the norm here this month. What is suicidal in this ill-equipped hospital, rode by the Amazon itself, is a small example of a new and massive covid-19 broth affecting the northeast of Brazil.

How old is this news?
No land of Iranduba finds the epicenter of this new broth, Manaos. The capital city of the state of Amazonas is known as the gateway to enter the Amazon, with its main connections with the rest of the world by air or boat.
If the name of the city to your family, it would be because the scenario of one of the covid-19 peers of the world in April and May. The collapsed health system and the images of miles of rebuilt tombs are emblematic of the coronavirus crisis in Brazil, whose death toll is currently only surpassed by the United States.
The actual situation is only possible. January has been demonstrated, by far, the most deadly pandemic in Manaos.
In Mayo, 348 people made their way here, only now. Only during the first three weeks of January, this number is at 1,333.
Although the genomic tests do not have many extensions in Manaos, CNN’s scientists say that evidence suggests that a new variant of the mezclad virus with the Gobierno infusion creates a perfect tragic torment.

A new coronavirus variant
Four epidemiologists told CNN that a new coronavirus variant, called P.1, was probably the new wave of devastation that Manaos had.
“In general, I’m an alarmist about this type of thing, but I’m concerned that we are living in Brazil at the moment,” said Scott Hensley, a viral immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
Scientists say that the new version of the virus originated in Brazil and, although much has been done to respect it, there are multiple reasons for preoccupation.
First of all, the new dates suggest that it is more transferable.

Investigators from Fiocruz, the Brazilian health research institute, have been studying infected people in Manaus. Of the 90 participants at the time, 66 were infected with this new variant, according to Fiocruz investigator Felipe Gomes Naveca.
Although it does not conclude, the experts say that the credit has the idea that this variant is transmitted most easily.
“If it has the capacity to propagate in a more efficient way, it is probable that in reality it will be one of the most dominant”, said Martes el Dr. Anthony Fauci and Erin Burnett of CNN.
Fiocruz’s investigators also documented at least one case of a person who was positive about the new variant while having ten anticoagulants of an anterior infection by covid-19. It is possible to suggest that the persons can be re-infected with the new variant, although this is a case of being tested.
“It is clear that we are currently experiencing infections that indicate that the virus that is circulating is the most transmissible, which can prevent the spread of viruses or a combination of viruses,” said Hensley.
Are you feeling well? For now, it appears that the current vacancies of covid-19 can protect against the pattern of mutations seen in the new variant, although all the epidemiologists interviewed that much more research is needed.

No single coronavirus variant
Culpar del ultimo brote simply to the variant seria perderse el bosque por ver los árboles. The new variant emerging is simply part of a larger system that has failed the people in the Amazon state.
Commenza with the failure of a federal coordinated response, a distant cell from the administration of the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, during the entire pandemic.
Despite the first oil, it was painfully clear that Manaos’ health care system could not manage another crisis like this.
However, while the peoples of April, May and June, the federal government did not disclose its answer here to ensure that the city has no more than one critical review of fans, medicines, oxygen and beds.
In addition, it was a sensation of complacency, and that songs like Jair Bolsonaro’s calibrated to mention the idea of a second oil. In November, Dijo told his people that essentially accepting the virus and not the tuvieran miedo “like a piece of maricones”.
Now the critics are wondering if a similar complaint could have triggered the Federal Health Ministry’s response to the warning signs this month of a second crisis in Manaos.
Federal investigators are looking into why the Minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, did not hesitate to send help to the city when documents were recorded in the cases in December, and there were new reports of a oxygen generator.
“Although an increase in the number of covid-19 cases was verified [en Manaos] in the week of Navidad 2020, the Minister of Health decided to send representatives of the Ministry to Manaos only before the 3rd of January, a week after having been informed of the calamitous situation “, said a general tax informant who presented to the Supreme Court of Justice of Brazil.
Pazuello defended his actions, accusing the variant of a disaster that, according to him, could not be prevented.
“This is a completely impossible situation for all,” said March. “Rapidly expelled fast”.

The notion, now a false demonstration, was omnipresent that the first mass covid-19 of Manaos alcanzo had a sufficient amount of the population to create collective immunity.
“People are trying to live as if they were living a normal life, without using masks with many crowds,” said Naveca, Fiocruz’s investigator. “We see a lot during Christmas and the end of the year”.
As previously reported by CNN, including the scientific advertisements, staffs in the Manaos and Amazon states, will be accurate, as well as the people like the Bolsonaro propositions, to abstain from stricter media strikes.
However, everywhere in the world, it is allowed to allow the existing covid-19 segments to be circulating, leaving the bases for new variants to be operated.
“The virus tends to have the opportunity to explore all of these different genetic types and is now selecting those that favor it,” said Hensley.
In other words, the more the virus is allowed to spread, the more likely it is that it will evolve and form new varieties.
