Yesterday 615 died. In response to a journalist’s question last week about the record number of deaths from coronavirus, President Bolsonaro said: “So what? I’m sorry, but what do you want me to do?”.
The issue of unemployment, the issue of the economy no longer working. We can’t let the side-effect of the fight against the virus be more harmful than the disease itself," Bolsonaro said.
On March 24, Bolsonaro compared the coronavirus to a “little flu” in an address to the nation. Less than two months after that comment, there have been more than 132,000 new cases of Covid-19.
He is sacfricing the weak (in terms of health) to save economic, while other countries are controlling the rate of spread to increase survival rate of patients but with a lot of economic sacrifice. In his country it will spread as bush fire kill all the weak and then drop suddenly. Who is right or wrong will be determined by how quick a vaccine will be developed
