In this talk I intend to share an insteresting use case from a small and independent media press on a Data Journalism project using FOSS4G to infer whether or not the forest fire occurrence is agravating respiratory syndrome related to COVID-19 in the braziliam Amazon biome, using Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, air poluttion sensors and health public data. This is a talk about facing negationist government and the pandemic with thoughts about this process and the technical explanations on how we approached this project.
