22 Days

22 Dias — what the record shows about Manaus, January 2021.
This book is a record, not a verdict. It lays out, day by day, what the Senate inquiry’s final report and the press show about the weeks before oxygen failed in Manaus hospitals, and it says whose account each line is.

Chapters

The frame

The book counts 22 days from 20 December 2020 to 10 January 2021, the days before the oxygen collapse that press reports place on 14 January. Day 23, 11 January, is the day of the telling. The count of 22 is this book’s choice, not a count taken from a source.

O livro conta 22 dias, de 20 de dezembro de 2020 a 10 de janeiro de 2021, os dias antes do colapso do oxigênio que a imprensa situa em 14 de janeiro. O Dia 23, 11 de janeiro, é o dia da narração. A contagem de 22 é uma escolha deste livro, não uma contagem tirada de uma fonte.

Status

Quotes from the Senate inquiry’s final report were checked against the PDF page they cite, by a script that needs the PDF. Press items are linked and have not been independently checked. The report is a majority report of the rapporteur, and the state and federal officials it names dispute parts of it. The oxygen consumption chart on page 284 was not read. The hearing excerpts are testimony. Nothing here is a legal conclusion.
