And what about Canaa? That city of 37,000, deeper in the Amazon forest, that supports S11D, the largest iron ore mine in the world?

Also skyrocketing. Now at 997 confirmed cases as of Monday 1st June, with 14 deaths. Absolutely tragic, especially if you think of people, not just stats. And still no ICU beds in that city.

To make the comparison again, imagine a city like Albury (and not Albury Wodonga, pop. 93.6k) with 1000 cases ,14 deaths and 87 new cases in a single day. It would have the eyes of all Australia on it.

"Canaan dos Carajás confirms 87 more cases of infection by the new coronavirus this Monday (1). All new cases are in home isolation. With this, the number of cases already confirmed in Canaan reaches 997, of which 333 are already recovered, 15 are still hospitalized and 14 are deaths. The others are in house isolation.

Canaan still has 32 suspicious cases awaiting laboratory confirmation. 47 other cases have already been discarded.

Health teams monitor 1283 people, between confirmed cases and people with flu symptoms.

The Disk Coronavirus and the New Horizon Reference Unit have made 119 calls in the last 24 hours, with 30 recommendations of isolation.

According to the state secretary of health (Sespa) there are now 40.014 cases and 3.019 deaths in pará."

Folks, this is just one state, with a population of 8 million. Over 40,000 recorded cases. Over 3,000 dead.
