Thousands died in Brazil from Corona, the President said, “So what?”

A glimpse of this was seen when he said defiantly on the current situation, “So what?”

Bolsonaro has consistently refused to accept the danger of the corona virus and is being criticized a lot. But with his latest statement, his supporters are also getting angry.

According to the estimates of Imperial College London, the infection of Covid-19 is spreading in Brazil at the fastest speed in the world these days.

On Tuesday, when a journalist questioned the President about the death toll in the country after the number of deaths due to Covid-19 in the country was more than five thousand, he said, “So what? I could not understand, you What are you asking me to say? I can’t do a miracle. “

In Brazil, more than one thousand fifteen thousand people have been infected by Corona so far, while 7,938 people have died due to this virus.

‘Corona is a minor fever’
In the past, Bolsonaro has described corona infection as a minor fever. He had also claimed that people like me, who are athletes, will not do anything even if they are caught by the virus, if a very bad situation happens, they will feel a slight fever.

Not only this, the Brazilian President has also consistently violated the provisions of social distancing. He is taking a high-profile tour in public places, shakes hands with supporters and grabs his phone to take a selfie with supporters.

On 19 April, he participated in a demonstration outside the army headquarters in Brazil demanding the removal of lockdown. He also had a cough while giving a speech.

President is careless

Gulliherme Rolim, 36, is a dentist. They say that during the 2018 elections, they voted for Bolsonaro for change.

Rolim told BBC Brazil that he supported Bolsonaro as a ‘support for essential evil’. But now his father has died from Covid-19 and he feels that the government is not handling the situation properly.

He told, “Bolsonaro is a careless person. His statement is irresponsible and harmful. The President is taking a serious issue lightly. My father died of Corona virus. I am scared of what the President is saying They have been saying this because they have not died of their own, they do not understand this sorrow. “

The impact of the Corona virus is also visible in Brazilian politics. Governors of states such as Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro are critical of Bolsonaro. The provisions of quarantine have been extended in these states.

Last month, he sacked the country’s popular health minister, Louis Heinrich Mandetta, because of differences over how to deal with the corona virus.

He has replaced Nelson Teach as Health Minister in place of Mandetta. Oncologist Nelson is the CEO of a private clinic group and also a partner in a medical service consultancy firm.

However, some people are also supporting the President’s view of the corona virus. It is especially the business people who feel that the lockdown will affect their business.

Brazil will not stop

In March, there was a lot of controversy over a statement by junior Dorsky, a millionaire businessman who runs a restaurant chain Madro. He had said, “Five thousand people will die from Corona virus across the country. We cannot avoid it. But we cannot stop everything for this. We should not stop work to hide from the enemy.”

However, he later said that his statement was misrepresented.

However, many other businessmen like them are taking a similar view. They include billionaire Luciano Hang, owner of Haven’s department store and according to Bloomberg.

Hang Covid has criticized the worries about the 19, according to him, he is not concerned about his business but the Brazilian economy. He has said that personally he can also choose a way to get out of his 22,000 employees and go to a beach.

In some cities of Brazil, protests have been taking place against the provisions of lockdown, which is believed to decline the support of the common people towards lockdown.

According to an opinion poll published in DataFolha, on April 29, 52 percent of Brazilians are in favor of staying in homes, compared to 60 percent in early April. Among the richest people in the country, 39 percent of the people are in favor of Quarantine.

Brazil compared to the world

Florida Governor Ron de Santis has also said that he is watching the situation in Brazil very closely so that special provisions can be adopted to curb the Brazilian people.

According to Imperial College London, the rate of outbreak of corona infection in Brazil is 2.8. This is the highest among the 48 countries included in the comparative study. In countries that are considering removing lockdown, the rate of spread of infection is less than one, that is, a patient infected with corona infects less than one person on average.

Growing political difficulties

The challenges of the Corona virus have also increased the other political difficulties of Brazilian President Bolsonaro.

Last month, the Supreme Court stayed the appointment of Bolsonaro’s friend Alexander Ramagame in which he was made the chief of the Federal Police. Ramagem was investigating the matter of spreading fake news on Bolsonaro’s son these days.

Due to this whole controversy, Sergio Moro, considered Law Minister and Super Minister of Bolsonaro, had to resign. He has accused the President of interfering in his work.

Bolsonaro has defended the appointment of his friend in his own special way, dismissing his critics.

He wrote in his Facebook post, “So what happened? I met Ramagem before I met my sons. Should his appointment be put on hold because of this?”
