More mass graves in Guayaquil, Ecuador (h/t @john_marquee). In this image from April 16th there are approximately 90m worth of trenches, with bulldozers still on site. In the image there are approximately 16 coffins for 16m, so that suggests these plots could fit 90 people.
No usable satellite imagery for Manaus yet, but this AFP photo alone shows 192 burial plots filled in a cemetery in the city at the heart of the Amazon. That one fewer death than the entire state has recorded from COVID full stop. In this one photo. The real number is unknowable.
