OK- we are heading up again in Parauapebas. 253 new cases- so now well above 10% of the population. And those are just the reported figures. Many authoritative sources have the real rates at x5 of the reported rates. That would put it at 50% plus of the population.
Now- if you have 10,335 people in home isolation, how many of them are miners? And how many people would it take to check on them? Are they really all staying home? What about contact tracing? Can you contact trace 21,805 infected people in a population of 208,000? With no app?
Shouldn't there be a lockdown with this sort of a problem? Yep. Is there? Nope.
If you need to leave the house, wear the mask all the time. This Wednesday, August 12, we notified 253 cases of covid-19. 10.335 people are in social isolation. Unfortunately, we regust another death. In case of symptoms, before looking for a Health Unit, contact Disk Covid Parauapebas via Whatsapp (31) 98625-3239. Service 24 hours.

@Goldtrick These are the infection rates for the municipality that encompasses Parauapebas City, the Vale dormitory town of Carajas City and Serra Norte itself- one of the largest mines of the Northern System. Do you think there are any COVID infections in the Pilbera?
And Minas Gerais, home of the Southern System, is just as bad. Sorry, but does your crystal ball tell you when the pandemic in Brazil will end?
You can't mine if you are stuck in home isolation, or in quarantine in Vale's Yutaka Takeda Hospital in Carajas City, or on a ventilator in Hospital Geral de Parauapebas HGP. It just doesn't work. Ask the Vale tractor driver, Evaldo, Fidelis, who was working in Serra Norte, got sick and nearly died from the virus. And his case did not get reported in the system for weeks! Shee- compare Vale with FMG, cripes.
