in brazil 400k people have died of the virus and the numbers keep going up. brazil represents 13% of global covid mortalities, despite only consisting of 3% of the global population. and it’s only getting worse with the emergence of the P1 variant. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01031-w">https://www.nature.com/articles/...
hospitals and intensive care units in brazil don’t have the funding and resources for the number of patients, hospitals are running out of beds, oxygen, and necessary drugs for patients https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00836-9/fulltext">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/...

all of this is thanks to president jair bolsonaro who has ignored warnings of covid since the beggining of the pandemic and denied offers to buy the vaccine 11 times. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/brazil-s-bolsonaro-rejects-covid-19-shot-calls-masks-taboo-1.5207303">https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/co...
