RIO DE JANEIRO — As the coronavirus tore through Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro came under blistering criticism for sabotaging the isolation measures imposed by states, encouraging mass rallies by his supporters and lashing out on the soaring death toll, saying, “What do you want me to do?”

Now that the outbreak in Brazil has gotten even worse — with more infections than any country but the United States — Mr. Bolsonaro’s government has come up with a unique response to the growing alarm: It decided to stop reporting the cumulative toll of the virus altogether.

Brazil’s health ministry took down the website where it had been reporting coronavirus statistics on Friday. And then, when it came back online on Saturday, the site omitted the historical data — leaving out how many people had already been infected or killed because of the virus.

How we looking our here brehs. This been on the back burner because of the impending race war

 

[Absolut]

Not excusing the lack of direction from the who. I agree they are coming off like they don't know what the fukk is going on.

But people need to realize there is going to be contradictory information coming out as they learn more about it because ..it's new. You're not going to get a full picture or all the information about it at the very beginning because it takes time and multiple avenues of research to find out how this shyt works.

We won't know the full effects of this virus for a few years I bet. I mean we don't even know what the long term effects of it because...that just comes with time. They are finding out various stuff about it constantly. A CDC study a few weeks ago just proved that for some people, the virus is breaking the blood brain barrier and causing things like encephalitis. Takes time to find this information out.

But individuals have their own brain. If you decide you aren't going to take precautions then that's on you. Not the who. Nothing is stopping you from wearing a mask except yourself. I've been wearing a mask and personally minimizing contact as much as possible on my own still. Not waiting for The WHO to tell me what to do. I agree you need leadership and consistent messaging to get more people own board. But folks in these thread seem pretty independent minded so I don't think you need to wait on the WHO to determine what right course of action you need to personally take.

Right. That’s all you can do is make choices for yourself. That’s what I’ve been saying the last month plus. If you want to play it safe, no ones stopping you. If you want to go to a bar, no ones stopping you. It is what it is at this stage. But when the same folks are touted as the go to experts and they can’t make their minds up on stuff like “well the protests are good because it’s a good cause, but don’t go to a family bbq” it comes off as complete nonsense. If you’re old, fat, diabetic, otherwise unhealthy, or just cautious Stay home. Go the extra mile on precautions. If someone wants to try and get their business back up and running and folks want to patronize it, that’s their prerogative.
