BREAKING: Brazil's COVID-19 death toll tops 600,000, according to data from the nation's health ministry. That's second only to the U.S. Fatalities are down from their spring peak, but about 500 Brazilians have died of COVID-19 each day for the past month.

These developments are part of Brazil’s bid to return to pre-pandemic normalcy, even as its death toll tops 600,000, according to official data on Friday from the health ministry. Relief in both COVID-19 cases and deaths have been particularly welcome given experts’ warnings that the delta variant would produce another wave of destruction in the country with the second-most victims. So far, that hasn’t materialized.

Now, Vecina believes the high number of Brazilians infected earlier this year with the gamma variant -- first identified in the Amazonian city Manaus -- may have slowed delta’s advance. “The pandemic has waned, but 500 deaths per day is far from good. And we don’t even have half the population fully vaccinated,” Lago said. “We just don’t know enough and we have this horrific milestone to contemplate now.”

“It’s not just 600,000 people who are gone; it’s a lot of people who die with them, emotionally,” Chaves said in an interview. “It’s absurd that people treat it like it’s a small number. It’s a big number.” Months after its New Year’s bash, Rio will also host Carnival, according to Mayor Eduardo Paes. And he said social distancing is out of the question.

prchovanec Trust me--the death toll is a heckuva' lot higher than that. Brazil is lying about the official numbers. Also, why have AP & other MSM deliberately failed to focus on the 20-30 ppl who are permanently crippled by COVID for every 1 that dies?

Ron DeSantis amirite?

prchovanec 😔

Until they come out and say it’s wrong.

Funny that two leaders that were almost identical in policies would lead the world in deaths!
