Or maybe my money lives in a little just outside all of us capital. Like many other latin american countries the government has imposed a mandatory quarantine for all citizens but my money who works as a taxi driver is afraid about how shes going to feed her 8 year old son. As a mother it is painful because you open your refrigerator and see it empty every day the food runs out as a mother i dont know what im going to feed my son what are you doing as a mom i stop eating for example 3 weeks ago i bought some chickens because i was working with my taxi i keep the chicken for my son i dont eat my son is the one who eats i prefer that my son eats and not me.

On sunday 2 of his tweets were deleted by twitter because they violated the rules of use by potentially putting people at greater risk of transmitting the virus the polls were videos of the 2 that the president took in the Federal District contrary to the guidelines of his own minister of health who recommended that people stay at home as a measure to fight the coronavirus. In brazil slums n. G. O. S are stepping up efforts to help the poor investment and Social Security in the country is being reduced from year to year in the last 4 years and believe it in this year in the middle of the of the current of the virus from them and were having with the actions on. So thats absolutely crazy Government Action is the only way millions of people in the region have to survive the months ahead because i will undeceive when a society is well lets talk to title ribeiro about the situation in brazil in how the president is handling this crisis is a journalist and founder of the brazilian report which is an online magazine has via skype from sao paulo the savile very good to have you with us on aljazeera so why is president abbas a narrow seeking to minimize this pandemic and is his messaging his approach is it resonating at all with resonance. A lot of times for having me present also the other is doing the political calculation what hes doing is in brazils political system the president can only do so much and state governors and mayors have a lot of power so his putting the burden of stopping the economy on local administrations. And if they work because every single governor in brazil has split at least some restrictions in place some fall for this is where i am we are the largest the most populated state it was ill with the countrys economic heart and the for a week now the state has been quarantined and we were going for it in for at least 7 more days so if these measures work and the country can at least 6 some normality in the short term future he will say you see i told you it was not thing he said time and again that its just as therefore that we have seen worse spend them mix that over 9 the age to age one n one pandemic was worst. And his calculation is if the country stops if unemployment explodes his Approval Ratings which are already low to go even further down right so our brazilians feeling about the way hes handling this then it is messaging resonating at all with my right that a fair one 3rd of brazilians think hes doing an excellent job handling this spend dammit who are these recipients. Well of been impose sure that while the president has retained his Approval Ratings most stuff brazilians gennaro the real with how hes handling the covert 1000 crisis still they approve of his overall job but yes his message does resonate with a lot of people especially young males lower middle class yesterday we had motorcades and several state capitals asking for the country to resume a normal way to vittie so the president s words are actually having the correct thoughts factor a lot of regents here yeah and you know a lot of people of course compare him to donald trump but even donald trump his ally has changed his rhetoric somewhat do you think this economy 1st hand that john said that that a burst now is putting forward might cost him politically ultimately i think it will certainly cost him because d companies are already laying off people its impossible to just go back to normal life because the problem is not the restrictions not the current it is the virus and if we still have the virus that we still have problems so a lot of corporate is are regularly off people the economy minister just the mouse today that then you will suspend the unEmployment Data to disclose the Employment Data for now and last week we saw in the us that we had a Record Number of people filing for unemployment so the government wants seems to be actively withholding this important data that my cast boss another politically thank you thank you so much for talking to us about this gustavo ribiera president and general joining us afam salpeter thank you for your time.
