Brazil is one of the global threats in the Covid-19 pandemic.
At a time when Covid-19 has already affected more than 10 million people and continues to grow, mainly in the Americas, Brazil is considered one of the global threats.
247 - Journalist Jamil Chade highlights in his column on UOL that Brazil occupies the second position in the world in terms of deaths and cases. Last month, Brazil held first place, with a total of 30,6 deaths in that period, and in the last seven days, the country still leads the world in terms of deaths and new cases, according to WHO data.
In 14 days, the virus's incubation period, Brazil also ranks first. There were 441 cases in this period, 20% of all cases worldwide.
"But it's not just the high number that's worrying. For international agencies, there is currently no clear plan in Brazil for how to exit the crisis, public fatigue regarding the quarantine makes the measure increasingly fragile, the government's economic aid package shows serious limitations, and there hasn't been a sufficient increase in the number of tests," he writes. Jamil Chad.
As a result, Brazil has come to be seen as a real problem for the global response and an example not to be followed.
"The exclusion of Brazil from the list of countries that will be allowed to resume flights to Europe from July 1st is just one sign of how the world is reacting. The EU promises to present a new list with new countries every 15 days. But diplomats in Brussels confirm to this column that there is strong resistance against the eventual inclusion of Brazil in the immediate future."
At the World Health Organization, which has been attacked several times by Jair Bolsonaro, the order is not to respond to the criticisms and provocations of the Brazilian and his guru Donald Trump. The agency's director-general, Tedros Adhanom, considers that countries are its leaders and, therefore, it would not be appropriate for him to retaliate publicly.
