Photos: The Coronavirus in Brazil

[peacebuzzard]

4. Brazil covid19 cases are climbing a steep bell curve

steep. almost vertical.
Tragedy in every urban center and the stupid prez is a jackass.
Thinks he's a macho man, that the old need to be isolated and everyone else needs to work.
He has fired the Minister of Health, Dismissed the head of the Federal Police in Rio and immediately the Minister of Justice resigned over this overstep.
When journalists questioned Bolsonaro he flailed, sputtered and yelled at the journalist pool to shut up.

This is a scandalous current event since the Minister of Justice Sergio Moro is respected and has a wide base of support.

Lack of PPE, this pres has no respect for masks, social distancing, wants everything open. sounds familiar.

this is like a repeat of the US scene but on steroids and in a distant, steaming, tropical land.

**on edit, thanks for posting the images from the article. I used to travel there almost every ten days or so for my job, my last trip there was mid-March. I freaked out while there, on the plane, I had a deep sense of dread. I have been at home ever since.
