“Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease,” said Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. “People should go back to work.”

SÃO PAULO, Brazil—Ignoring the self-isolation steps advocated by his health minister, President Jair Bolsonaro recently waded into crowds at a gas station, bakery and supermarket, as supporters told him they want to keep working even as the new coronavirus spreads across Brazil with deadly consequences.

“It is difficult, but we have to work,” a man grilling skewers told the president. “If you do not die of the disease, you will die of hunger.”

pls consider having really excellent journalists like alexandregarcia, AnaPaulaVolei , jrguzzofatos to report about Brazil. No comprimise in quality please. If I want bias about my country, I can read NYT, The Guardian, all that crap. I would appreciate if you consider it

This article by Magalhaes & Forero is biased. So much to report, but no. Let's politicize! E.g. there are issues in SP with nearly 50% of the reported deaths 'by Covid-19' discarded because they were actually negative. Governors lock the population but let drug areas untouched..

Good to know morons can come from all parts of the world

UN

So if you go back to work and the boss gets sick and dies you don't have a job anymore.

I agree

Amazing how people love EVIL.🙏

One of the things wrong with capitalism is how it alters motives and thinking.

He should contract Covid

Projeto de ditador brasileiro!

Idiota!!!!! Brasil 🤧😷

Which means jairbolsonaro is getting back to committing GENOCIDE, with the help of VP Pence, realDonaldTrump and SecPompeo

Help

Bolsonaro is destroying Brazil.

these quotes haven't been aging well

'I am an idiot above it all'

Someone is probably translating him his fascist buddy Trump’s talking points, and Bolsonaro is just parroting them to a less educated crowd like most of Trump’s voters.

Heard dat B4?

What a concept...

The good news is that most of the Brazilian people is not listening to him. The country should have bigger death numbers by now if social containment didn't have major support.

I agree with him... What he said is being witnessed in India.

Oh look Trump Brazilian style

Conservatives are now just a right wing Death Cult. Lace up your Nike's and come outside for some kool-aid kiddos!
