COVID-19 has killed more than 15,000 in Brazil and reported infections have surpassed those in Italy and Spain. Experts say that with a lack of testing, these numbers could be much higher.
But, President Jair Bolsonaro has repeatedly downplayed the risks of the disease and pushed to reopen the economy.
Many people, including healthcare workers, feel they are being left on their own to battle the pandemic.

Early supplementary oxygen is key, once pneumonia recedes, check for high RBC counts and have patients donate blood to reduce to normal levels.
Trump in U.S. his b plan seems to be to kill his supporters. They are the only ones listening to him. I don’t understand
Nobody expected that the Chinese would unleash a deadly virus on the world and so no one was prepared. 🥺
These Countries like Mexico, Columbia, Brazil, we will never see the actual count of Covid Deaths as the count is far greater then their National Report.. Unicef would have to go to every hospital in the poorest areas and ask their Dr.s of cases.. The Count is 1000s of deaths short, if not 10s, of 1000s.
@User619 TLSDCA he got a thumbs up
Forreal earlier in the month in ecuador they had like 7000 excess deaths in one week with only 1000 covid deaths reported
@A paradox That explains why the official figures recently seemed so ridilously low and so fluctuating compared to the overall situation and how the pandemic ‘behaved’ elsewhere.. The raporting in general seemes not to be up to western standards at all..
@Kimmobiino yea man I also found it weird how sundays and mondays the world death toll seems to drop drastically while the rest of the week it seems to skyrocket back up..
@A paradox Yes, I also heard the poorest cities in Mexico are having people dead on streets in masses.. I also watched the Mexican news which is the best ,lol… love em reporters,lol…
Why God’s water it’s a luxury to the poor you rich people there help God’s people it’s a sin not to help them build them a water well good health care good food
I feel for the Brazilian people, their leader is a buffoon.
🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Treat thrombosis, this isn’t a respiratory disease alone.
They are doing it…enoxaperin is in standard therapy rt now..
how is the poor is going to practice social distance, to many people.
iT’S jUsT A fLu!
1jx7wlt9 ic7rk3ld8 , Oh yes. You are Trumpians or dumb Alec ?
Just the tip?
Thomas N He’s being sarcastic, don’t you see from the way he typed it
It’s amazing how the media lies.
I am from Curitiba, Paraná state, Brazil. There’s not a single hospital in my city, or in my state, full. Every single hospital is EMPTY.
Wanna know why is such a mess in Rio? They have been involved with communists for more than 30 years. All the governors till this day were communists. They stole the money from the health services. Rio de Janeiro is a broke state.
I don’t know anyone with the PCC virus.
Not a single soul.
Stop lying!
Kkklkkkll Rio de Janeiro comunista
É o estado que tem mais coisa privada no pais
Endoideceu. Ao menos respeite os profissionais de saúde…
Ur own puppet health minister resigned after less than a month in office.. that makes ur comment irrelevant n stupid..
Rio de Janeiro é um câncer no país. Só tem petista, Psolista, ladrãozinho e traficante.
Em mais de 30 anos de má administração e roubos, quebraram o estado.
Tem médicos e enfermeiros dormindo no chão de hospitais, enquanto o Governador compra respiradores que não existem.
O ministro saiu pq era um merda frouxo.
There are country I crisis and I got back lash , I see dog that act much more responsible then many leader around the world including the Brazil leadership some one need to hold them responsible seriously
Why all the news about Brazil you have to show favelas, favelas, favelas and more favelas? Sounds like Brazil is a big favela 🙄🙄
@gundamzerostrike
Are you even Brazilian by the way? I’m Brazilian and I can guarantee you most people do not live in favelas. That’s like 7% of our population. Favelas only exist in big cities, you won’t see them in the country regions or in the non-populous cities. Most Brazilians live in normal areas which are neither rich nor favelas. I see the media already made up your imagination that Brazil is a giant favela. I don’t think favelas should be forgotten on media, I just think media exaggerate about this situation in Brazil. Any video about Brazil they will show favelas. Touristic videos: favelas, documentaries: favelas, Amazon news: favelas. Vlogers/Youtubers visiting Brazil: favelas. I don’t understand why this happen, but we have as much favelas as the USA has guettos for example. It’s very overrated.
@gundamzerostrike no interior de SP não existe favelas.
Aet
@Roberto BRAUS most people live in poor areas. Get some English reading comprehension because he didn’t just say most people live in favelas. Stop feeling so ashamed of your country
Isn’t it? I’m American and we are only shown favelas on the US media.
But it’s just a flu , it’s just a cold …. said that imbecile of the prime minister … he doesn’t get that by oveheleming the health system and making it collapsing he is not saving any economy .
“it’s just the flu”, but 5% of patients need an ICU bed. When you max out all the hospital beds, chaos is the only outcome. Looks to me like #’s in Latin America are doubling every 5-7 days in Brazil and Chile and Peru. The unnecessary death is shameful.
🙏🙏🙏
Saddly Brazil leadership not serious battling in this ‘virus’……
You know.. you may be right. But you must know that the Brazilians are not united. There are major separations in this nation. I live here… And although political matters are atrocious… The people are no better.
Absolutely correct same thing also applies to bolsonaro🇧🇷 American Ally Donald Trump🇺🇸
Stil ppl believe jesus 🙄
@PG trojka he is not Muslim his name sounds like Hindu..
@Zena Shabani me yes trust issues
@Ziishin Zehen nope iam a Muslim only
@sabarish Callur Suresh Because it is all beyond our understanding. But again, what does that have to do with the virus nor deaths? It does not mean necessarily that because evil things and death happen all around the world that there is no creator nor God.
Does Mohammad save u from coronavirus
WHEN CHINA IS IN LOCKDOWN IN JANUARY WITH THE CCPVIRUS.. WHAT WAS BRAZIL DOING..?👈 WHEN ITALY IS DYING BY THE HUNDREDS IN FABUARY.. WHAT IS BRAZIL DOING..?👈 WHEN U.S. SHUTDOWN ITS STATES IN MARCH.. WHAT IS BRAZIL DOING..?
WTF.. IS BRAZIL DOING..?👈 (TOO LATE TO CRY..!)
They went to China, Italy and US obviously.
Do not be uncompassionate ,these poor people with a very stupid government like ours ,you should not be pointing any fingers,but have some empathy for the families that are losing their loved ones !! I’m so sick and tired of evil greedy politicians ,all over the world,who do not give a stuff about their civilians,its a crying shame !!! A handful of countrys got it right Germany Taiwan etc
The voice of reporter is like she was dumped by her boyfriend
Mabey her boyfriend died of corona…
So it’s not us Italians anymore, huh? OUUUUUUUCH! 💅
everybody please stay at home…let we cut the desease 🙁
People this is bullshit and stop believing the freemason media. Annually an average of amout 50 – 60 thousand people die in Brazil from crime alone. Heart desease kills over 160 thousand Brazillians each year and viruses have also killed many. So these footages only reveal what a society would like when a sever economic crisis is taking place. The problem is that the sheeple do not realize that they are living in the worst economic crisis since the great depression. So just expect your country to resemble Venezuala for a while until the Millitary / Police state is optimized with their new NWO gadgets from Bill and Xi Jinping.
This president should be locked up. This is called killing people on purpose. No lockdown. Acting like everything is normal. The people are dying like flies and he doesn’t grieve. I don’t understand.
This is sad. 😪😪
rabella lioni, continues praying 🙏🏾 🇦🇺
@rabella lioni sounds like a nice place to live
@Rich Rue
Yes, it is. we have 90% forest.
it come from sinning against the Creator and rebellion people who do what they want instead of obeying the commandments of God. God promises in Exodus 15:26 he the one will heal you if you repent and turn back to righteousness meaning turn back to him. read it for yourself maybe you can see and understand what you read. Exodus 9:14 says a lot
@Ready Togo
You are right. People who disobey, will get punished 🙏
Their Military should take over this nation,and charge thier idiot presendent.
Poor country..
Hgfuh
Detr
Brazil govt waste
Big lie.
Only 22% of all Intense Therapy Units are being used at this time.
Some hospitals were closed to look like someones are full. This is criminal.
Big lie.
Just ask some doctors the truth.
The hospitals are empty.
GOD BLESS WORLDS AMEN YA ALLAH *
Their president is sick!
Love you Brazil people from India
Get rid of bolsanaro, you nice people deserve better
They had they imprison his opponent for him to win 😆
What is the reason for this and who is responsible???
so sad news. everything is from Allah. Alhamdulilah
Allah has done a lot of bad things haha.
@inb b
Because humans are committing a lot of corruption on earth
It is worse then FIFA
this president is a tyrant
When the president is culling the population since he knows rich can protect themselves and I guess he is rich -IF he wanted less poor then give then condoms and force young women to work and edjucate but I guess he is catholic -so basicilly a fasist in htese questions -so cull the people because they deserve it”
False
Pray for brazil and the world
They are trying to find more medical personnel, but you can see in the footage they don’t have full PPE for the current staff… I have a feeling any other available medical personnel would be hiding out or saying “no thanks” … especially if you were trying to get retired doctors to come back and work in those conditions 🙁
I was watching what was taking place down there. It’s not surprising one bit!
Brazil’s President is related to the U.S President. Rich, insensitive, Wisdom and loves being heard & seen.
Don’t forget stupid
I’m very disappointed in Al Jazeera.
Where are your journalists?
Jay Bhattacharya Eran Bendavid Dan Erickson Artin Massihi John Ioannidis Shiva Arryadurai… many other doctors and scientists call for an end to the shut down and an investigation into the players who perpetrated it, as well as those who took advantage of it and the multitude of consequences it has had…. when SARS-2 is a mild upper respiratory infection!
By the time WHO DG called a pandemic, and USA officials complied with shutdown based on no evidence, and most media simply used as a megaphone for propagandists… there are a few people and organizations I hoped would practice journalism.
Al Jazeera English, Shane Smith of Vice News, PBS’ Nova’s Frontline, New York Times, Huffington Post, Wall Street Journal, and of course Real Sports… among other sources.
I have been a fan of Real Sports and Bryant Gumbel and his investigative team since I saw the journalistic story on Olympic corruption in South America.
Have I used a form of the word journalist often enough yet?
I watch your older shows when I can and when they are available.
I’m really impressed and list your show and journalists whenever I have the chance to talk about my sources for news and relevant information and evidence.
I hope you can pick up this story on the “pandemic” and investigate it and talk about it as you do with so many modern issues.
For instance the Obama and Bush connections to our current shut down…
Who stands to profit immemsely? Conjecture, so far, but with plenty of precedent.
Pulling the drain plug on Social Security.
Past records on pandemics that weren’t.
Peter Doshi.
Much more.

I have a good deal of info I am ready to share and hope this message gets to you.
Good luck. I doubt they respond to many YouTube comments that begin with, “I’m very disappointed in…”.
Just saying. ✌^^)
That CIA agent Bolsenero not long ago expelled hundreds of Cuban doctors. Idiot!
Unfortunately President Bolsonero is not taking the coronavirus seriously which is leading to more people being infected and dying.
If he gets the virus he will start to see how serious it is
I hope I do not suffer, by suffication, on a ventilator, from COVID. 🥱
Isso é o Brasil que queremos
WHEN HIS CHILDREN GET THE “FLU” !!
Losing mom is painful…..God knows what wreck this virus will further cause.
BRAZIL NEED A DU30
This is a complete nightmare, poor people of Brazil. China will be very happy with their work. This is a goodun, they may as well of dropped a bomb on us all. Prayers forthe poor people ho always seem to suffer the most.
Bolsonaro: I agree totally with buddy Trump. This coronavirus is a hoax. Just like the flu. No big deal.
Brazil and Russia will have their peak when it starts slowing down in USA (if it ever slows down in USA cause i don’t know what tf are they even doing there). Europe is already calming down big time, after it also happened weeks ago in China and parts of Asia.
don.t worry Bolsenaro is your clovn….and will make you happy…sad.tragic,drama wait when this virus will murating then will be more dead people…so don.t worry when millions will die then it.s gonna a be a problem…
Precious Blood of Jesus Christ cover us and the whole world. Amen
Possibly the worse leader in the world
Hmm…poor.
Will see this in Indonesia soon enough with president downplayed the virus again.
So Brazil want to still do business with China?
Everyone should quit smoking and we’d have plenty of beds in the future
Brazil and india suffering from leadership crisis
The president wants to get rid of poor people because this way 2 of his problems are solved, poverty and getting rid of people who do not vote on him.
Sometime by doing nothing, you do a lot
“So what? I’m sorry. What do you want me to do?” ~ Jair Bolsonaro, April 2020
All lies. There’s no virus. Certificate of Vaccination ID19 is a hoax.
Meanwhile in USA
Trump supporters: Fake nurses, they are so disgusting!
At least his not a supporter of blood sacrifices under the name of abortion
Will Mr President say something ??? I mean of Brazil !!!! A normal flu 🤧????
Order corv19 in magadasca like Magufu President of Tanzania
Let them die for choosing bad guy as their leader
This is trumps hoax !
This is gotta be bullshit. Its a weakened flu thats been passed around for months now with an extremely high recovery rate. Were just tracking each case of people getting the flu now
Temporary use those beds around the beaches and use recliner thanks
Actually hospitals are empty….many die for not being attended
Britain can donate some we have 4000 in the nightingale with only 37 being used 😉
Murderer with legal….😭😭😭😭
They need to take out their racist cruel president.
I figured Brazil would be tired of corruption by now…
I’m praying for all of you Brazilians, be brave inspite of your challenges
I would be in favor of bringing back the military draft in the USA so new military enlistees can help build hospitals in other areas of the world – like Brazil – hit hard with the coronavirus.
The USA no longer has a hospital bed shortage. But Brazil does – and Chile is likely next.
May God protect us all
These poor healthcare workers.
I am so very sorry for all of you who have lost someone to this virus. Crying..
Brazil has the highest rate in the world of HIV, diabetes and overweight people!!!!!
BOLSONARO DESERVES TO DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH ! BRAZILIAN DESERVES BETTER
Trump in US , bonsaro in Brazil ..poor people are helpless
He run the Cuban doctors out of the country whom were invited to fill the gaps on underserved regions by the previous administration. .
Elections due up in 2022. He will be gone. No support from the judiciary, high ranking officers from all three branches On the military , Congress. He can’t pass a bill through Congress.
All the state governors are against him. His supporters are a rag tag bunch.
He is acting out of desperation, swinging from for the fences.
This is “PLANDEMIC” wake Up People 😓😓😓
Place the stupid Jair Bolsonaro in the jail and wait for death penalty.
So I waited to swing the bat. I made the rules. Cool huh.
Brazil is corrupt country.
Even in America, less than 5% Of population has been tested.
That means more than 30 millions Americans are infected at the present time.
Everyone take care 🙏
God, please heal the world🙏
My goodness
Way to go President Bolsonaro
unfortunately this virus come in bad time with nazist president who wants kill people. ” If lot people will die, who cares?” he said
Horrible ellness. God please save the life of the people xxx
Fake news
He is fool he dont know nothing president
The difference between acting fast and ignoring the danger. My country went into total lock down mid March and so far there is only 2 reported death
Stop letting in UN and China people what I think
Play your part !! Well said and done
