the Situation around COVID-19 in Brazil every day more and more like a nightmare. And it’s not so much the rate of spread of the disease across the country, as in the approach of the Federal government to combat the virus.
At the beginning of the pandemic, President Air of Bolsonaro has missed a unique opportunity to prove himself as a true leader of the country, which could lead people to fight a common evil – a coronavirus. Instead, he chose to go on deepening the split in society, very much politicized the situation around COVID-19.
Naming the coronavirus as the “Grippolom” he strongly hindered the governors to take measures to contain the spread of the virus across the country. This has led to the fact that the death toll from COVID-19 in three and a half months (more than 37 thousand people) in the country has exceeded the number of victims from the Spanish flu in two years (35 thousand persons).
the Rate of testing of the population in Brazil continue to be the best. Despite the fact that over the past week have managed two times to increase this level, reaching 8.7 per thousand tests per million people, this was done solely due to the so-called rapid tests that do not differ high accuracy.
Constantly increasing rates of morbidity and mortality led to a change in the calculation methods of statistical data. The Ministry of health refused to publish the overall figures for the coronavirus. In addition, the Ministry of health has shifted the time of the publication of data for the late evening.
“Finished with the material for the evening news, laughing, said the President of Brazil Air of Bolsonaro on Friday and added. Is in order to submit a more consolidated data. Need to publish data on those killed that day. Yesterday, for example, two-thirds of the victims were from among the dead before. You need to divulge the details of a particular day.”
However, it is the decision of the government did not like the Brazilians. On Sunday, despite the difficult epidemiological situation and ongoing social distancing, in Brasilia, são Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have staged large protests. The protesters stood in defense of democracy, called on Bolsonaro to resign, calling him a fascist. Was seen as banners antirassistische content and in support of the protests in the United States.
In response to the actions of the Federal government, the national Board of health Ministers States announced on Sunday the launch of the portal, which publishes summary statistics on the spread of the coronavirus in Brazil based on data from the ministries of the States.
In the end, on Sunday, the Ministry of health of Brazil has returned to the practice of the publication of General statistical information about the coronavirus in their daily newsletters.
So, according to Dantion of the Brazilian Ministry of health on 7 June, for the last 24 hours have died from the coronavirus 1382 man, recorded 12.5 million new cases COVID-19. Since the emergence of this virus in Brazilian soil they fell ill 685,4 thousand people, killed more than 37 million Brazilians.
However, these Federal agencies disagree with the consolidated figures published by the ministries of health States. According to them, a day in Brazil identified more than 19 million new cases of infection COVID-19, 551 people were killed. In total, the country recorded 692 thousand cases of infection by 36.4 thousand Brazilians were killed.
