Brasiliens dödstal för Covid-19 över 100000
Brasilien har nått en fasanfull milstolpe - över 100000 döda i covid 19. Nu går konservativa till attack mot massmördaren Bolsonaro och varnar honom för konsekvenser.
Massmördaren Bolsonaro kanske kan komma undan om han skyller på slumpen och otur, en taktik som funkar i Sverige.
Brazil’s Covid-19 death toll has risen above 100,000 – the latest grim milestone in the South American country’s ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Citat:
On Saturday afternoon a coalition of Brazilian news outlets announced the number of deaths had risen by 538 to 100,240, the second highest number on earth after the US.
The group has been compiling Covid-19 statistics since Brazil’s health ministry was accused of seeking to conceal figures in June.
Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, who has played down the pandemic and undermined social distancing and containment measures, came under heavy attack as the death toll rose above 100,000.
An editorial in the conservative Estado de São Paulo newspaper said: “This tragedy has happened because ever since the pandemic arrived in our country president Jair Bolsonaro adopted such appalling behaviour towards the greatest pain inflicted on Brazilians in more than a century.”
It added: “There was no greater misfortune for the nation than having such an inadequate and indifferent leader in the presidency at such a serious moment. It is not clear whether Bolsonaro will one day face political or legal consequences for his neglect. But he should fear for what might happen.”
