247 - Neurophysiologist and scientist Miguel Nicolelis warned that "in Brazil, without a doubt, the virus is winning the war." "When politics clashes with biology, biology wins by a landslide," he told GloboNews, after commenting on the political crisis within the coronavirus crisis. 

According to the doctor, "social distancing is vital, it flattens the curve and helps us reduce the curve that will come later."

"The states are not receiving the financial, strategic, and logistical assistance they need," he added.

Brazil has at least 34,4 confirmed cases and 2.181 deaths caused by the coronavirus.
