How one city missed warning after warning until its health system collapsed


This is the heartbreak of a city whose health care system has collapsed. Amazonas state governor Wilson Lima acquiesced to expert advice, announcing new lockdown measures. Over 530 people are still waiting for a hospital bed, according to the Amazonas State Health Secretary. Brazil's vice president Hamilton Mourão said earlier this month that -- despite multiple warnings from scientists -- there was no way to predict the collapse of Manaus' health system. Correction: This story has been updated to clarify that Amazonas state will lock down for seven days on Monday, instead of ten.
