Bricklayer: Mandetta, if he stays, will have to be complicit in the genocide.
Journalist Fernando Brito, from the blog Tijolaço, states that the government's threat to reduce social isolation could transform Mandetta's decision to stay in office into complicity with genocide.
By Fernando Brito, from the blog Tijolaço - According to G1, the Ministry of Health has "signaled" that it may reduce social isolation, moving towards doing so as Jair Bolsonaro wants: isolating only the elderly and the "sick" and allowing circulation for everyone else.
It's pointless to repeat that this so-called "vertical isolation," besides being a kind of ghetto for those they consider useless, hasn't worked anywhere in the world, unlike what has yielded results: the most absolute containment of the movement and gathering of people.
The situation in Brazil is far from inspiring tranquility that would allow for any kind of relaxation.
Warnings about this are everywhere. The US, just 18 days ago, had the same number of cases we have today. And fewer deaths.
There were 13 infected and 206 deaths, and today there are 363 and almost 11 dead.
18 days, less than three weeks, and a thousand people are dying there every day.
The newspapers turned a blind eye to the projection of more than 100 deaths in São Paulo, made by one of the members of the medical team advising Governor João Dória.
Even if they're wrong 50% of the time, it's still terrifying.
This story that "it's ending" in Europe has nothing "scientific" about it; three or four days with fewer cases – hopefully not – could simply be variations in reporting or testing, in addition to the natural variation typical of these situations.
We already saw, over the weekend, the amount of irresponsibility shown by the lack of conviction that isolation is necessary.
If this tolerance comes from the Ministry of Health itself, it will only increase the concentration of people on the streets, especially since emergency aid remains elusive and the common people need to survive.
