The death toll due to corona infection in Brazil has crossed six lakhs. It is second in the world in terms of death, while America is at number three after India in terms of infection. Although the death figures themselves are testifying that there has been some lapse on the part of the government in dealing with Corona. Let us tell you here five mistakes made by him, which has given a lesson to the whole world.
1. Did not take the epidemic seriously: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro made fun of the corona epidemic on several occasions. He had given many strange statements regarding the epidemic. Bolsonaro dismissed the corona virus as a common flu. On the other hand, the whole world was taking effective steps to deal with this epidemic. Because of this, he was also criticized in the country. Due to this irresponsible statement of the President, the country had to bear such a huge brunt.
2. Not following masks and social distance: Jair Bolsonaro not only made fun of the epidemic, but he also opposed measures like wearing masks and social distancing. He also put the utility of the mask in the dock. He had said that there is very little evidence in this regard that the mask is effective in preventing corona virus infection. However, it is a different matter that all health agencies, including the World Health Organization, described the mask as an effective weapon in the war with Corona.
3. Opposing the lockdown: Bolsonaro opposed the lockdown at the beginning of Corona. Bolsonaro opposed the lockdown when people all over the world were imprisoned in their homes. He had said that the economy should remain open. Only stupid people would like to stay at home. When the scientists there were telling the need for the lockdown, at that time the central government never took a tough decision on it. Brazil has struggled with many variants, but it did not strategize according to the intensity of the infection.
4. Negligence on Vaccines: There was no work on awareness about the vaccination campaign. On the one hand, the whole world was waiting for the vaccine, while on the other hand the President of Brazil had given the opposite statement. He said that I am telling you, I am not going to take the vaccine. This is my right. Not only this, some time ago he had mocked the vaccine process on Twitter, saying that only his dog needs the vaccine.
5. Corruption even in emergency: A hospital chain deliberately gave non-certified medicines to elderly patients, the results of which turned out to be fatal. At the same time, another witness in the investigation accused President Bolsonaro of irregularities in the contract to buy an unapproved Kovid vaccine from India and massively overcharging. Parliamentary inquiry is also going on on the wrong policies of the President.
Both doses to only 45.5% of the population
According to the latest figures from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, 18,172 people were confirmed to be corona infected and 615 patients died in the last 24 hours. With new cases, the number of infected has increased to two crore 15 lakh 50 thousand 730, while the number of dead has increased to six lakh 425. So far, only 9.72 crore people i.e. 45.5 percent of the population in the country have been fully vaccinated. At the same time, 14.88 crore people have been given one dose.
