In another scene, in Fortaleza, a doctor reported on the choice he had to make, between a young man in his twenties and a woman in the late 90s. Only one of them could be intubabo and “the most young were more likely to survive. “.

In another, a doctor in Manaus showed messages on his phone, such as “My uncle needs a bed” or “Tell me about my wife. We have two children.”
But he no longer feels empathy, only irritation. “Who doesn’t need something?”
