Brazil surpasses 300,000 COVID-19 deaths

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
March 25, 2021

BRASILIA: Brazil’s death toll in the coronavirus pandemic surpassed 300,000, as a deadly surge made it the second country after the United States to pass the bleak milestone.

A total of 300,685 people in Brazil have now died of COVID-19, the health ministry said, as the country struggled to deal with a surge in cases blamed on a local variant of the virus that is believed to be more contagious.

Brazil currently has the highest daily death toll in the pandemic by far. It has more than tripled since the start of the year, to an average of 2,273 for the past week.

President Jair Bolsonaro announced earlier he was launching a crisis committee to deal with the pandemic, a change of course amid mounting pressure over a situation he has repeatedly minimised.

The president vowed no one would “politicise” the pandemic, after a meeting with the heads of both houses of Congress, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, the central bank chief, most of his cabinet and six of Brazil’s 27 governors.

“The prevailing sentiment was solidarity and the commitment to minimize the effects of the pandemic,” Bolsonaro said at the presidential palace.

He said the group had agreed to create a coordinating council with Brazil’s 27 governors, led by Senate speaker Rodrigo Pacheco. He will convene a crisis committee that will meet weekly.

The announcements has not reduced criticism of Bolsonaro, who has flouted expert advice on lockdowns and face masks, pushed a drug regimen he calls the “early treatment” package that scientists say does not work and has spoken out against vaccines.’

Bolsonaro has softened his position on vaccines under pressure, saying the meeting had “unanimously agreed” on the need for mass vaccination.

His new health minister — his fourth of the pandemic — later said in his first press conference that he was setting up a special secretariat within the ministry to fight the pandemic.

The minister, cardiologist Marcelo Queiroga, also vowed to triple the number of people vaccinated to one million per day, “in the near term.”

Brazil has now administered at least one dose of vaccine to around six percent of its population, but is far off pace to reach its goal of vaccinating all adults by the end of the year.

The new wave of COVID-19 has pushed many hospitals to the breaking point, with intensive care beds and oxygen supplies at critically low levels.

The Pan American Health Organization warned that the situation in Brazil was “dire” and threatening the rest of the region. “The virus continues to surge dangerously across Brazil,” PAHO director Carissa Etienne said in Washington. “Cases and deaths are increasing, and ICU bed occupancy is very high in many states.”
