Manaus is collapsing again. Is a new coronavirus variant to blame? – Madison.com
The tense quiet outside the small hospital in Iranduba, Brazil, shattered when the ambulance rolled up.

In May, 348 people were buried here, the worst month until now. Through just the first three weeks of January, that number stood at 1,333.
