In much of brazil not only has it not reached the peak but rather it is spreading to places that have far weaker Public Health services than in the main cities places that dont have Emergency Care units or other basics and in a country as large as brazil you can just move patients to places with better care. Not one of those remote places of course is the amazon rain forest 100 to the Indigenous People have already been infected.

India may have the 3rd highest number of cases globally but thats not stopping it from lifting measures some popular monuments have reopened for the 1st time in more than 3 months but Historic Buildings in the city of agra including the taj mahal remain closed and as for some new delhi.

Voters about going to a new place and that is definitely has a negative impact not only in delhi with all over india. The Indian Government says its tested 10000000. 00 people so far but it still has one of the lowest tested rates per capita in the world so reported cases are serious on the true numbers of infections that are probably in the 10s of millions of at this point in time for now its going to keep continuing to live get some of the hundreds of millions of cases.
