I can't find a safe place to let off steam ... I go on Facebook and I'm bombarded by news from my city, Manaus. It suffocates me and causes me anxiety.
Does anyone there know the president of Brazil? Bolsonaro? It is a rare specimen, if you have the time and stomach do some research on it. The point is that this president has never taken the pandemic seriously and my city is being severely affected. Due to the lack of control by the public authorities, cases of contagion by covid have increased a lot, the hospitals are all 100% full, there are no beds, there are people dying at home, in the uber, in ambulances and at the doors of hospitals. Oxygen and other equipment began to be lacking in hospitals. People are dying asphyxiated, I lost a person yesterday like that and I'm terrified of who else I will lose.
We broke collective burial records, refrigerated chambers were installed next to cemeteries to store bodies while opening more ditches. Curfew and blockade were installed in the city, I only hear the sound of sirens and it hurts me. I have always been a fragile, sensitive person who absorbs a lot of external energy and I feel knocked out lately. The government was warned in advance about the end of the city's oxygen supply and nothing was done to prevent this collapse. It doesn't matter if you have money, the oxygen in the state has run out! Artists and other public figures are mobilizing to raise funds and send the necessary material, but it will not be enough given the state's demand. The government does little. I learned at school that the Amazon is the lung of the world and we are without oxygen here. I fear for the rest of the country because if the lungs are like that it won't be long before the other organs are affected.
I cannot measure the size of my suffering and I write this in tears. I have never been so scared in my life.
please protect yourself and inform people :(
