Health care in Brazil's Amazonas state in 'collapse' as Covid-19 infections surge

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said Friday that 'all means' are being made available to help the country's largest state, Amazonas, where hospitals are running out of beds and oxygen tanks amid soaring coronavirus infections. His claim came a day after Brazilian Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello described the healthcare system in the Amazonas state capital, Manaus, as being in 'collapse.' 'I would say yes, there is a collapse in healthcare in Manaus. The line to get a hospital bed has grown a lot, today we have about 480 people waiting in line. And the reality is that there is a lower supply of oxygen -- not an interruption, but a lower supply of oxygen,' he said during a Facebook live with Bolsonaro on Thursday.
