President Jair Bolsonaro threatened on Friday to pull Brazil out of the World Health Organization after the U.N. agency warned governments about the risk of lifting lockdowns before slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus.

In an editorial running the length of newspaper Folha de S.Paulo’s front page, the Brazilian daily highlighted that just 100 days had passed since Bolsonaro described the virus now “killing a Brazilian per minute” as “a little flu.”Brazil’s Health Ministry reported late on Thursday that confirmed cases in the country had climbed past 600,000 and 1,437 deaths had been registered within 24 hours.

Asked about efforts to loosen social distancing orders in Brazil despite rising daily death rates and diagnoses, World Health Organization spokeswoman Margaret Harris said a key criteria for lifting lockdowns was slowing transmission. In comments to journalists later on Friday, Bolsonaro said Brazil will consider leaving the WHO unless it ceases to be a “partisan political organization.”U.S. President Trump, an ideological ally of Bolsonaro, said last month that the United States would end its own relationship with the WHO, accusing it of becoming a puppet of China, where the coronavirus first emerged.

Even the Brazilians think you’re corrupt. breakupwho

The President of Brazil is as great as the President of the United States, Trump, the leaders of the Americas are so good and so shining

- ...Bolsonaro - Who’s Bolsonaro? - The Brazilian Trump - Oooooh, gotcha.

Whole world is tired now with ChineseVirus19 . WHO should be demolished now to create a parallel forum. China need to be punished economically because they purposefully spread virus for their expansionist agenda. HongKong HongKongProtests

Excuse me but isn’t it too ridiculous? Even if the WHO has not operated efficiently, I think the main reason for Brazil’s incredibly high mortality is the incompetence of his government.

The data of cases and deaths in Brazil are not correct! The governors and mayors of some major cities hard affected by the COVID are lying just because they are opposition to the president and second they are also robbing the money sent by the federal government!

A president that since the beginning didn’t want to change social measurements. He did everything he could to delay the emergencial aid to low income families. He keeps pressuring to open business to soon. The deaths are due to his incompetence only

After that the deaths will stop?

No it doesn’t

Tragic

no big deal, actually

He failed to manage the crisis in his country. Leaving the WHO won’t do him any good.

how much is a brazilian?

This guy ignored every recommendation the WHO put out but then turns around and blames them? Stupidity.

Yes because the WHO did that... 🙄🤨🤯 dicktators

BlackLivesMatter

Did you mean Chinese virus, didn't you?

How many is a brazillian?

Covid19 is killing 7 Americans a minute.

Wow Another IDIOT!!

Bolsanaro: “Hey, let’s shoot ourselves in the foot and blame someone else, especially since we don’t believe what they’ve been warning us about for about half a year now!”

In Brazil, the Supreme Court ruled that it is the governors and mayors who are responsible for the strategies and actions against the covid-19. The president passed on tens of billions to the states.

Trump'boy

ChinaVirus Kills 'a Brazilian per minute'. Thx, China.👍🏽

Didnt he fired 2 health officials who didn’t agree with him? Lol

Good idea! 🤝

Following in trump's footsteps.

Every hour 60 Brazilians.are.dying to SARS-coronavirus-2? Jesus

Holy cow

Blame is the last bastion of the incompetent.

The power of IGNORANCE should never be under estimated. Could there be an underground political party called IGNORANCE? It’s apparently winning elections everywhere on this planet.

The little trump of Brazil

🙏 for Brazil 🇧🇷 💙

He sure is trump from the south lol

Wasn’t he the one that chose to do rallies and not lock the country down? And now he is blaming the WHO? Hmm, who does that remind me of...🤔

Lies the left in brazil are using the same methods used in america becouse they want a coup. Anyone who dies for any reason if they test positive for a weak version of the flu called covid19 then it counts as a covid19 death regardless of actual cause of death

We're losing the battle for now. We had the upper hand, we could have tackled the virus spread efficiently, however, politics stood in the way. Now I'm counting the corpses of my fellow Brazilians while some politicians and lunatics count the votes they'll get.

WHO should exit Boslanaro for not listening on time
