The World Health Organization (WHO) has said the number of coronavirus infections in Brazil could be much higher than is being reported as the lack of testing means many cases are likely going undetected.
Latin America’s largest country is currently the world’s second-worst affected with 51,000 deaths and more than a million infections of the novel coronavirus.
Many more infections and deaths are feared because social distancing measures are not being taken seriously.

Our condolences with our brotherly country Brazil from Pakistan…..
I hope a vaccine is developed soon and next year we all can go back to normal.
What is your normal? The same old bad ways?
Eat healthy and be active and meditate or pray. The answers are right in front of ur face.
Careful what u wish for…. Open Ur eyes and mind do research…
@Syed Ahmed Outside, like India?
@Adam Sahr The first cases in Australia likely arrived from America. A very famous actor and his wife had it.
Brazil has tested only 20 lakh people, and got 10 lakh infected. India tested 70 lakh and got 4 lakh infected. Difference is sharply clear.
More can be done
what is a lakh?
@zingerman11259 hundred thousand
Uae tested 2million people got 30k
You cant be arrogant with this virus
Its the natures wraith
The min you think you are the apex predetor just remember you are still smaller than the nature
True, but the virus is fake
@Nero Machiavelli You’re fake.
Nature= China
Cool Breeze say that to my face and I’ll bite your ear off
impeachment for Bolsonaro please!
He has been democratically elected.
@JoãoLP so just like Dima?
Klauss Bmann, yes! One mistake doesn’t justify other.
@JoãoLP so you agree he should be impeached? or do you admit that what happened to Dima was a coup?
Klauss Bmann, I mean what I said.
your president is stupid MOST STUPID PRESIDENT!!! blame him!!!
Brazil is being devastated and the worst virus is called Jair Messias Bolsonaro
I agree with you
Wrong. People that distorts the facts like you are worse.
@JoãoLP Vou fingir que me importo
Balsanaro,Modi,Trump all are same
You forgot to add the other clown, Boris.
@Frank Debrah There are a lot of clowns right now in his defence.
How many Chemical plant fires explosions? 40+ Chemical plant fires explosions world wide? France Turkey USA China India UK Skorea Scotland Holland Italy Russia Belgium Spain Greece Austria Germany Sweden Ukraine Brazil Mexico South Africa Nigeria Iran Poland Australia many more world wide. Harvard university study into airborne pollution responsible for clusters? Checkout France Rouen 9000ton Chemical explosion contaminated the whole region and drifted to south coast England Hampshire Surrey south London. Scotland had 3 most recent Dundee. Stanlow Merseyside .Leicester. East London. lancing Hampshire. Why so many ? Who’s responsible? Keep washing your hands fellow mushrooms
Well done, Bolsonaro. We no forgot the fires in the amazonian. Now, this…
All the leaders should not play down the consequence of this pandemic and take decisive operations to work on this. Human lives should be prioritized. Pay condolence to those lost lives.
Is Al Zazzera, supporting Islamic terrorism?
Don’t you have better things to do?
is serious ooooh LORD JESUS LOCATE them in your mercy mercy mercy favor favor grace grace blessing in JESUS name hallelujah amen
The UN are behind this and the globalist elite
There goes another nutter spewing nonesense.
@Frank DebrahI hope I’m wrong as for me being a nutter I’ve been called worse things
Nonsense criticism.
brazil is cursed not just with corona also with bolsonaro
Yeah so is the recent Oklahoma trump talley..lmiaao
Another similarity between Brazil and India.. Both were instructed by the government to hide the real numbers to give face to their leaders.Don’t expect any truth and don’t trust any lies coming from the puppets of Muerika.Not coincident the top 5 worst countries are flip flopping intercourse with Trump.Dumb countries always fare the lowest.
china takes this to a whole new level
A dumb leader came from the hand of dumb citizens.Not sorry for you,Brazilians! You’ve asked for it! And you got it!
Everybody blame s president but nobody blames WHO , China 🇨🇳 ?……
Praveen Kumar Italy and France identified cases back in October/November last year. It’s not clear whether it even originated in China. Even if it did, even if they sealed off Wuhan in November, you cannot guarantee there had not been cases already traveling to the world. This virus has an unprecedented prolonged 14 day asymptomatic transmission period making it extremely difficult to control.
Praveen Kumar SARS originated in China but it didn’t impact the world very much which was not because the Chinese government did a better job (in fact, they reacted much slower than they did to COVID 19). It was because SARS was not asymptotically contagious. Seriously sick people were very unlikely to travel.
@merylwaldenlake well sars came from China 🇨🇳 ….but atleast we tried 2 stop at dat time ….. Thanks 2 s.korea but dis time it’s hard & sucks …. China virus 😷 spread world 🌎.
Praveen Kumar this one is most similar to 1918 Kansas flu that killed 50 million globally and mostly young people. Thankfully this one doesn’t kill as many young people
@merylwaldenlake haha 😂… U think wait for 2nd wave …… Winter is coming ….. Rip world 🌎😢😷
It comes as no surprise that the three countries with the most incompetent leaders, USA,UK and Brazil are top three on the covid19 death league. How can citizens of these countries be so irresponsible to vote in these idiots.
Deaths per million much lower than Spain, Italy, France, Belgium and other rich countries…
@JoãoLP what good is that to those loosing loved ones? The sooner that idiot started protecting his people with competent leadership the better.
Deaths in the countries I cited prove “leaders” can do nothing!
its because they were fed up with their left wing governments previously and elected them to be leaders
😭😭😭🤲🤲🤲
It’s the reverse of what happen in my country. We have less cases then reported. Because hospitals pays the families of dead patients , to let them register their dead family members , as Corona victims.
Is sad because their government denied the virus in February…they went a head with the carnival and celebrated. This thing is real and thos virus is still deathly. America also had his share of neglect. Bad government results in dead.
Too easy to pass judgement when we’re only hearing one side to the story.
Woah there buddy, let’s not be rational.
What’s the other side? “No, these dead people didn’t really die!”
Cool Breeze First of all, the other side is the one that looks into the right way to measure these numbers (infected per million people). Using this method you will see Brazil isn’t in top 20 worse countries. For instance, Uruguay has a population of almost 4 million people, it’s ridiculous taking their infected numbers and compare it with Brazilian numbers, since Brazil has a population of 210 million people. We need to take care of our population using all possible methods for sure because all lives matter but Brazilian case isn’t the worst as they say. It’s a clear political attack, but I wouldn’t expect nothing different coming from Al Jazeera.
What do these countries with the worst death cases have?
They are all fascist white govts
1: US
2: Brazil
3: UK
@Comrade Toxic Democracy is not always good but dictatorships are always bad.
Mateus Uchoa what about ghaddafi , he made libya into heaven for its citizens but unfortunately US doesnt like middle east to grow
@Comrade Toxic I never said USA was an exemple to be followed. But don’t come to me saying China is the good guy, it sounds ridiculous.
Comrade Toxic, I remember that time! Everybody in the world eager to migrate to Libia!! …. no… wait….
JoãoLP For their own citizens
WHO should just keep its foul mouth shut. It is nothing more than the long arms of big pharmas.
*BALLSCENARIO*
In Iran too we lost so many to covid, I can’t believe it some , I knew and they weren’t old and look so healthy that’s why their death was so shocking 🙏
Is the government hiding death count in your country?
^^
Bolsonaro and Trump
The Kings of Coronavirus
@pauskie6 idiot
Bolsnaro Modi and Trump *

Fuerza hermanos Brasileros !!!! May God help you get through this crisis quick enough!!!!
Meus amados, não percam a fé pois falta pouco para irmos para a nossa verdadeira casa e veremos Jesus como ele é. PREPAREM AS BAGAGENS: SANTIDADE, VIDA DE ORAÇÃO E FÉ e muito provavelmente vou conhecer alguns de vocês que estão lendo meu comentário lá na morada celestial. (O sentimento e a percepção que eu tenho, é que essa geração verá nossa ida para o Céu.) A volta de Jesus nunca foi tão real quanto agora, os sinais estão intensos em todos os seguimentos, estamos sendo testemunhas de acontecimentos nunca vistos antes. Muitos ouviram e ouvem a palavra mais infelizmente não quiseram e recusam o sacrifício do Senhor Jesus. Vamos renunciarmos a nós mesmos para sermos capazes de nos reunir com o Senhor, porque ele nos ama com grande amor e esse amor que ele tem por nós deve motivar-nos a deixar tudo para segui-lo. E mesmo que venhamos sofrer perseguições que sejamos como mártir, morrer por amor a Cristo. (Falo novamente, NÃO somos daqui) vamos nos arrepender, nos converter de nossos maus caminhos, abandonar as coisas impuras, pois Ele em breve vem. E se eu não lhe ver aqui, nos encontraremos lá.
“Combati o bom combate, acabei a carreira, guardei a fé. Desde agora, a coroa da justiça me está guardada, a qual o Senhor, justo juiz, me dará naquele Dia; e não somente a mim, mas também a todos os que amarem a sua vinda.
Pois todos nós iremos comparecer perante o tribunal de Cristo, para que cada um receba de acordo com as obras praticadas por meio do corpo, quer sejam boas quer sejam más. 2 Tm 4:7:8 – 2 Cor. 5:10
President of Brazil is an idiot this is why you don’t elect idiots.
Election matters. That’s what you get when you elect someone that goes “Make America great again.” Now, make Brazil great again.
Let’s the Supporter of the Brazilian President build more coffins and dig grave for the death of their own kin cause by the Coronavirus.
They dismissed the Coronavirus Pandemic as “Just a Normal Flu”.
Its totally bolsonaro fault.This is the biggest drawback of democracy where some elite groups choose who runs the country.If any political leader is capable of leading a nation then s/he should no matter how long.
If Brazil had 57 million people in the “elite”, we would be the richest country in the world!
@JoãoLP haha u have no knowledge how govt is formed🤣
And Qatar coronavirus cases increasing day after day but Tamim doesn’t care about his people and insists to reopening the economy
You are imagining things… Very few countries have managed the CoViD-19 crisis better than Qatar has ?! Try again with another country … Like India for example !!!
Brazil is most getting money to inflate their numbers
u know flies at graveyard during epidemic may carry virus
Here in philippines many of people got angry of president duterte because of lockdown .. lets swap president
why are the who calling out Brazil but not China?????
Is there a problem in calling out Brazil? It is for the interest of that country… What’s wrong with you?
@Adam Sahr no, if you read my comment you should know I never said that, if a country needs to be called out then we must call them out, thats why im wondering why they called out Brazil and not China
@zingerman11259 Because no truth ever comes out of China… AJ is free to investigate and report from Brazil but not from China. Brazilians are free to complain, the Chinese are not !
😢😢😢😢
Bolsanaro is the Brazilian version of Trump!!! “We’ll be back to work by Easter!!! Buffoons!!! Feel so bad for the beautiful Brazilian people who are getting sick and dying bcz of Bolsanaro’s ignorance and arrogance. What a shame, especially bcz it could have been much less severe had common sense prevailed. 🇧🇷 ❤️😢
Lie! Nothing suggests it.
The death toll numbers are being manipulated, some state governors are inflating the numbers to spend people’s money, and thus overpricing, corrupt.
Welcome to the new world order, the masters of the Masonic globalist world, want population reduction. Wake up !!!
My heart is with their families
America should start giving aid instead of blaming everything on china
On other hand at least china is providing aid to countries
@mm but USA should admit that more than the Chinese the West is more responsible for the spread
Take the example of India
We don’t have any Chinese employees businessmen or students in our country still India is 4th on the list
@faisal bargi but rather a lot of indians emigrated to the west and they brought the virus home
@thomas grabkowski yes that’s true with evry country
@faisal bargi If China hadn’t tried to hide the coronavirus and instead proactively contained it, we may not be in this mess.
Yes, providing aid because they’re attempting to market themselves as “Coronavirus leaders” instead of “Coronavirus originators”.
GTFO of here with CCP apologies.
@Reed Stiles ccp at least did not downnplay the risk of virus like Trump they built a huge hospital in 10 days
What did trump do, he mocked it and told his people that he has best team to tackle corona, please explain what was that
Coronafake never killed people Hidrocloroquine did it. A lot of indigenous people stopped going for help to hospital cause they were murdered with Hidrocloroquine that trump gifted to bolsonaro. Coronafake didnt killed that people. Almost 350k deaths belongs to hidrocloroquine. Forbidden in whole world except USA and Brazil. Casuality?
Brasileiros de esquerda têm mais é que morrer mesmo.
que??? Tá rolando manifestações de ambos lados
e se você quer que pessoas que não tem a mesma opinião que a sua morram você tem sérios problemas.
The WHO just shouldn’t comment on the COVID crisis for it has lost all credibility.
They warned everybody already in January.
They called it out as a public health emergency of International Concern in January 30 long before the cases started in brazil.
Human beings are interesting creatures
“The Little Flu”
—– the little Trump
The little Jackass
Fool
Trump is more concerned for his country and people, not his Brazil president.
Very sad
Perfect time for population control
Why these ppl didn’t drove the dumbass president away?
I’m brazilian and I say FORA BOLSONARO! GET OUT BOLSONARO! 🇧🇷
Love Brazil from Russia
Use coronavirus medicine Favipiravir . critical patients use dexamethasone medicine ,coviflu
This is like in the Philippines where they vote in a strong man only to find out he cares only for his own ego.
tlga lng ha? Sigurado ka?Bka ikaw yun…
I was in Sao Paulo last year at Sao juda in November last year,,,it’s heart breaking to see how corona virus has changed the world,,,,,,,,,,,,,,South Africa
Well bolo idiot is going to take cue from that orange idiot trump and blame China and WHO…. Sigh
My heart breaks for the peoples of Brazil, as if life is not hard already, they have a leader who cares nothing about them. God Bless you all.
To be fair to the president, atleast he is being honest. The virus is not a threat to people with good health. Now it is completely one’s own responsibility towards one’s own health. If you want to blame someone else for your own lack of care towards your body, then I guess there isn’t much to say but keep fooling yourself.
Brazilians,time to bring out the guillotines💪
I am from Pakistan and my people also make jokes about the virus. There are many many people who say it doesn’t exist.
1321, 24/06/2020.
Why who don’t say anything against chaina
The Racist Fascist Bolsonaro did worse than his boss Trump, thus civilians dying… unfortunately.
A gift from CHINA
Priyanka Gupta- awesome to hear the voice of a Bengali correspondent in a foreign news channel
Long live China… 😂🤣😂🤣
President of brazil is “”idiot of the century”
It could be a secret “less mouth to feed” policy.
“Use medicamento para coronavírus Favipiravir. pacientes críticos usam medicamento com dexametasona, covifor”
actually the fault is not only the president’s, but the “Governors”.
With Tropical Trump as president it’s no wonder.
More then a million cases and still underreporting
More then 30k deaths.
China should have warned the world about the viruse. Sad situation
Don’t shift the blame from incompetent “leaders” like Bolsonaro and Trembling Trump to China. They had all the time to prepare their respective countries. But, they did nothing.
Tbh ….it’s not that serious …I’m just saying and what I’ve observed ..🤷fake news 🤔
Balls&arrow is allowing the virus to wash through the population
Way better report than China
Bolsonarovirus19
How a person can be so ignorant and reckless. A leader is supposed to protect his people.
– Why won’t the country fire Bolsonaro for his incompetence?
cool
The amount of brainwashed sheep on this comments section it’s scary… At this stage after all th contradictions so far… sheep still falling for this deception….
Would someone pretty please enlight m…why do they falsify th death certificates?
WHO made that Virus
Bolsonaro is no mind try his family expose outside the hause with no body guard no social distancing like ordinary people what we feel and the ospital is no bed for his family like ordinary people
Coffin dance
Fake pandemic
That enough too much lie you all evil enough .we are not that STUPID
“Bolsonaro, well done you did better job than me” say’s Trump…
President Bolsonaro thinks that the coronavirus is the little flu. The little flu my foot? Look at how many people are being infected with the virus and dying from it. Brazil has the second largest number of deaths.
The law sucks
The economy sucks
The healthcare system sucks
The homeland security sucks
The President sucks
And came the pandemic, the country turned hellish.
I think this is Bolsonaro’s attempt to eliminate the poor ones. Letting them die through infection of Covid-19.
Why burying in the wall not ground
Stupid president
This is all chinas mistake and they should pay for the war damages they made.
trump and bolsonaro good for depopulation
For most of Brazil the virus is infecting people per nature’s design , say as 200 years ago. If 1% die , 2 million will pass away.
