In Brazil, the crisis of coronavirus is increasing. More than four thousand people died of corona in the country on Tuesday, which is the highest number of dead in a day since the outbreak of epidemic in the country in February last year. Health officials said that a total of 4,195 people died due to infection. In this way, the number of corona dead in Brazil rose to close to 3,37,000. Brazil has the second highest number of deaths from Corona after America.
On Tuesday, 86,979 new cases of corona were also reported in the country. Experts are worried that if nothing is done, one lakh Brazilian citizens may have to lose their lives in this month alone. Miguel Nicolis, professor and Brazilian doctor at Duke University in the US, said that it is like a nuclear reactor, which has started a chain reaction and now it has become uncontrollable. It is exactly like Fukushima. The situation has become so bad that it is facing difficulty in burying the dead.
No decision on lockdown even after poor health system
Even after the growing crisis on Brazil, the country’s President Jair Bolsonaro is denying the idea of putting a lockdown to reduce the epidemic. Bolsonaro said last week that in which country of the world are people not dying from Corona? Many governors, mayors and judges have insisted on opening up parts of the economy, despite the hospital being littered with patients and standing on the verge of ruining the country’s health system.
The number of dead may increase in the coming days
Miguel Lago, executive director of the Brazilian Institute of Health Policy Studies, said that reopening the economy was a big mistake. They fear that the number of dead may increase in the coming days. Lago said that in fact President Jair Bolsonaro’s anti-lockdown statement seems to be winning so far. Meyers and Governors are being politically prevented from formulating policies for social distancing. These people know that despite making rules, people related to business will break it.
Hundreds of people died due to lack of oxygen supply and medicines
In this South American country, 90 percent of ICU beds are filled with corona patients. Although, these numbers have remained stable since last week, but the danger has not been avoided. In fact, hundreds of people have died due to oxygen supply and medicines. So far only three percent of the country’s population has received both doses of vaccine. Due to this, concerns are also increasing. The sluggish pace of vaccination is also adding fuel to the fire.
