Little by little, Brazil is isolating itself from the world | It grows …

From Brasilia. It has emerged that Jair Bolsonaro has earned the nickname “madman” in the UN diplomatic lies, where they fear his measures and statements regarding Covid-19. This Tuesday’s news was the publication of a presidential decree vetoing the urgency of the approval of vaccines which, in fact, obstructed the trajectory of the immunizing Russian Sputnik V, which concerns a dozen provinces. The president is waging a war with the governors called upon to buy drugs in order to remedy the slowness in the vaccination of the national government.

Brazilian figures are closely analyzed in selected United Nations offices in Geneva, Switzerland. Is the case of the World Health Organization (WHO) where it is not excluded that Brazil, which is currently the second country in the world in the list of deaths and the third in that of the infected, climbs to the top of the podium , ends moving the United States, which leads the two world rankings.

WHO has taken note of the aggressive manner in which the virus is spreading in Brazil amid the indifference of retired captain Bolsonaro and Eduardo Pazuello, his Minister of Health, who instead of respecting international protocols, chose to follow his boss’s ass.

Thus, the active General Pazuello ordered that thousands of kits containing hydroxychloroquine be distributed to public health posts in several states despite the fact that the WHO has reported that the drug is not only ineffective against the coronavirus but can cause serious side effects. Bolsonaro has claimed that WHO chief Tedros Adhanom has no authority to speak about the pandemic.

Bolsonaro has come to offer hydroxychloroquine to an ostrich which frolic in the park of the official residence and gets into a bad mood when a minister shows up with a mask at the meetings of the Planalto palace. Journalists who frequent the presidential palace say they are often the subject of ironies when they wear masks hated by the head of state, who said last week that they cause “side effects”.

COMPARISON

The comparison between the health situation in Brazil and the United States was one of the topics discussed by WHO experts during a closed meeting held in recent days, the Swiss correspondent of the United States reported today. UOL site, linked to the Folha de San Pablo newspaper.

The United States has about 28 million infected and 514,000 deaths against 10.5 million infected and 255,000 deaths recorded in Brazil. From these figures, specialists analyzed the evolution of the disease in each country before abandoning the hypothesis that South Americans could become the worst in the world within a few months.

Let’s look at the curves studied by the WHO: In December, the United States had 18,000 weekly deaths and Brazil 5,200, but last week the United States fell to 14,000 deaths every seven days and Brazil had increased by 8,200. And last week’s data is consistent with steady growth, as this is an increase in the average number of deaths for 40 consecutive days. From this comparison, it appears that North Americans have fallen by 20% and Brazilians have increased by more than 50% in two months.

At a time In December, the United States recorded 1.6 million new infections each week and Brazil 326,000, while last week there were 471,000 Americans infected and 378,000 Brazilians. Once again a marked decline in the northern country and a strong rise in the power of the Latin American giant.

Another element closely watched by the WHO and diplomats from several countries is the slow pace of vaccination in Brazil, where about 7 million people have been vaccinated compared to about 50 million in the United States. To the above, it is added that the WHO and other multilateral organizations have reservations about official information and controls aimed at preventing the circulation of the virus inside and outside the Brazilian borders.

A pesar de que varios países europeos blockearon los vuelos brasileños the cepa arose in the Amazonia penetrated in el Reino Unido through pasajeros llegados desde San Pablo tras hacer escala en Suiza. “La desconfianza con Brasil va aumentar”, comentó una fuente británica , que mantuvo su identidad preservada ante la consulta de UOLLo que el portal no precisó es si Bolsonaro es tenido como un “loco” en la WHO o en otra agencia de la UNO, ya que las denuncias contra él también llegan a menudo al Consejo de Human rights. On Monday, a representative of the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil told the Council that indigenous peoples are among the main victims of the coronavirus and accused Bolsonaro of carrying out an “extermination policy” against these communities.

“BRAZIL ISOLATED FROM THE WORLD”

Faced with the worsening of the pandemic, the entity that brings together the health ministers of the 27 Brazilian state governments asked Planalto to set up a “lockout” in the provinces where the occupation of therapy rooms intensive was exceeded 85%.

However, the president said on Monday that solitary confinement was an inappropriate measure to fight Covid-19 and assured that there was an increase in suicides due to kidnappings ordered in some states. He said this without citing any sources or scientific studies he did not mention last week when he spoke about the mask’s contraindications.

For the Brazilian teacher Marcia Castro, owner of Harvard University Department of Global HealthThe number of countries setting up barriers to flights from Brazil, which has become a kind of global ogre, tends to increase. “In a short time, no one will want to receive someone from Brazil,” he predicted.

Castro mentioned that the Amazon variant, or strain P1. it began to spread to several Brazilian provinces and was exported to other countries because Bolsonaro and Pazuello did not impose restrictions on the movement of people between provinces and boycotted the lockdowns.

“We can have a situation like Manaus reproduced in the rest of Brazil,” Castro warned, citing that the P1 variant has already wreaked havoc in the city of Araraquara, inside the state of San Pablo, the most important and the most populated, of which the governor Joao Doriasaid yesterday it is evaluating the possibility of declaring a severe lockdown.

Faced with criticism from the WHO, governors and scientists, the senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of the president, used an almost religious argument. With the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, the far-right congressman said: “To close a city, to close a state is a dictatorial measure, it is to close the churches where people seek faith, the foreclosure causes families to despair. . “.
