Em Alagoas, no nordeste do Brasil, dois idosos — um homem de 87 anos e uma mulher centenária — sucumbiram à COVID-19 em hospitais de cidades distintas, ambos fragilizados pela hipertensão e pelos anos vividos. O boletim epidemiológico de 3 de agosto de 2022 registrou ainda 451 novos casos, elevando o total acumulado do estado a 7.079 mortes e 318.472 infecções desde o início da pandemia. Mais de dois anos depois, o vírus continua a encontrar os mais vulneráveis — os mais velhos, os mais adoecidos — lembrando que o fim de uma pandemia raramente chega de forma uniforme para todos.
