Brazil faces dark week as Covid-19 toll rises

Corona cases in Brazil are not going to stop, this week too many Corona cases are being found in Brazil, Brazil has entered another black week due to this President Zaire Bolsonaro as the main character of Controversy.

On Monday, the Ministry of Health confirmed 11,687 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours, with a total of more than 374,800 cases. More than 23,400 Brazilians have died so far.

The increase is a serious milestone on the weekend: On Saturday, Brazil overtook Russia to become the country with the most confirmed cases of COVID-19 after the United States, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

It was the night when Bolsonaro and his security team left the Brasilia Presidential Palace and made a halt at the hot dog stand.  As the local media found the president eating his snack, people heard the sounds of "murderers" and "garbage" shouting and playing utensils and pans from their windows. The President at one point swung his finger at the crowd.

Although there are many confirmed cases and deaths in the country, despite this, Bolsonaro has called this virus "little flu". And often underestimated its risks. In the past few weeks, two health ministers have left their cabinet - one was fired and the other resigned.

Bolsonaro has repeatedly expressed concern about the financial impact of the virus, warning that it could be worse than the virus.  He is speaking out against security measures such as lockdowns and quarantines imposed by governors and mayors of Brazil's worst-hit areas.

His supporters seem to agree.  On Sunday, a crowd outside the Planalto presidential palace in Brasilia waved banners and flags in support of Bolsonaro and protested the locking measures.  Rallies are held almost every weekend and are usually broadcast live on Bolsenaro's personal Facebook account.

In a video made at a previous rally, Bolsonaro could be seen with or without a mask as he applauded the helpers behind a fence.  Suddenly, a young girl crosses the fence and hugs Bolsonaro, though the girl also did not wear a mask.

National Security Adigator adviser Augusto Heleno, who accompanied Bolsonaro in the incident, could be heard saying, "We win this war."

However, Bolsonaro's critics have accused the government of how it works.  During an interview with CNN Manaus on Sunday, Mayor Arthur Virgilio Neto said that the president is a partner in the deaths of coronaviruses in the country and called the president to resign.

"Shut up, stay home and resign," Virgilio Neto Exact words.

Manaus, a city of 2 million people known as the Amazon's gateway, has been devastated by the virus, with more than 13,000 incidents and 1,182 deaths reported in Manaus.  On Saturday alone, 51 funerals were held.

Virgilio Neto's attack was not unstoppable - in a video of a cabinet meeting held in April last week as part of an irrelevant investigation, Bolsonaro was described by the mayor of Manaus as a "piece of shit", Known as the city's mass graves.

The outbreak of cases in Brazil is part of a new wave across Latin America that is troubling health professionals.  Peru, Chile and Mexico have also seen a surge in new cases in recent weeks.

"We do not have a state of control and in many poor areas of the world, in particular, it is really growing," Dr Former World Health Organization Director-General Keiji Fukuda told Allicin Cameron CNN on Friday.

And while Brazil's so-called "Trump of the Tropics" has been accused of not taking Covid-19 seriously, their US counterparts are beginning to show concern.

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump - a loud ally of Bolsonaro, faced criticism for stopping the epidemic for foreigners living in Brazil within 14 days, just before his attempt to enter the United States.
