Explained: Why Brazil s Bolsonaro is being investigated over COVID response
Delayed vaccines, oxygen shortages, ineffective COVID treatments. In Brazil, a commission is investigating what role President Jair Bolsonaro s government played in one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world.
A probe has been launched to see if the Bolsonaro administration worsened the COVID crisis.
COVID-19 is nothing more than a little flu and Brazilians should stop whining.
That is the pandemic, according to Brazil s President Jair Bolsonaro. Under his leadership, the country has seen the second-highest COVID death toll in the world with more than 400,000 fatalities as intensive care units collapse.
For Paola Falcetta, the worst came to pass in the early hours of March 2, 2020. Her motherâs breathing had stopped completely as she lay in the hospital in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil. Italira Falcetta da Silva, 81, contracted coronavirus after being admitted for cardiovascular surgery in late January, and was kept in isolation for weeks. By the time she was transferred to a general ward, she was free from the virus but doctors said she had little chance of survival. âShe was not considered for intubation by then. She was old and there were no intensive care beds. They told me: âthereâs no equipment to help your motherâ,â says Falcetta, a social worker. Instead, Italira represented just another of Brazilâs 400,000-plus victims from Covid-19, which shook her daughter into action.
