Brazilian Coronavirus Death Toll Exceeds 80,000. This number has quadrupled in two months, and the authorities still cannot contain the pandemic..

Brazil's official coronavirus death toll crossed 80,000 on Monday, health ministry statistics show.. In terms of the number of infections and deaths, this country occupies a strong second place in the world, behind only the United States.. On May 21, Brazil registered 20,000 deaths from COVID-19 patients, and this figure quadrupled in two months. In this country with a population of 212 million people, for some time, 1,000 deaths per day were recorded, although on Monday this figure dropped to 632. WHO experts believe that Brazil has reached a plateau for coronavirus.

The total number of infected in Brazil exceeds 2.1 million patients. According to scientists, due to the insufficient number of tests, the authorities do not have truthful information on the volume of infected. Mass graves for coronavirus victims continue to be prepared in different regions of the country. Graves are being dug, including at the Villa Formosa, the largest cemetery in Latin America, in San Paulo.

Large-scale criticism falls on Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who himself suffers from coronavirus. He is accused of underestimating the threat of an epidemic and urging state governors to lift quarantine restrictions, despite the recommendations of scientists.. The President has not changed his position today. Although now this representative of the extreme right is in quarantine along with several infected cabinet members, he is still confident that Brazilians should not be locked in their homes, because the consequences of a general quarantine will be much more severe than from a pandemic, writes The Daily Mail.
