Brazil set daily records on Wednesday for new COVID-19 cases and related fatalities, as the world's second-worst outbreak hurtles toward the milestone of 100,000 dead amid easing lockdowns.

RIO DE JANEIRO/BRASILIA - Brazil set daily records on Wednesday for new COVID-19 cases and related fatalities, as the world’s second-worst outbreak hurtles toward the milestone of 100,000 dead amid easing lockdowns.

President Jair Bolsonaro has fought against restrictions on economic activity, and the disease has advanced as governors and mayors have yielded to the pressure. In some cases, Brazilians have packed into bars and crowded public squares without masks, often in defiance of local rules. Bolsonaro’s government announced Wednesday that it will lift a ban on foreign travelers flying into the country that has been in place since March, so long as they have health insurance coverage for their trip.Sao Paulo, Brazil’s most populous and hardest-hit state, has been working through a backlog of previously unregistered cases, reporting more than 26,000 cases on Wednesday alone.

Those conditions have turned Brazil into a global testing ground for drug companies to test potential vaccines.

Australia reports record daily coronavirus cases, 13 deathsAustralia recorded its worst day in the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday as the country's second-most populous state reported more than 700 new infections and 13 deaths. Meanwhile, the US thinks this is a contest to see who can get the most. The price of 'freedom ' 13 deaths doesn't mean anything unless put in comparison with average number of deaths in a country of 20 million, which probably is in hundreds. People are being born and die in thousands every day. What are we talking about? When will this totalitarian nonsense stop?
