Hospitals, morgues and cemeteries across Brazil are being overwhelmed by coronavirus cases as Latin America's largest nation veers closer to becoming one of the world's pandemic hot spots.Some Brazilian scientists estimate there could already be more than one million cases
Rio de Janeiro is erecting several field hospitals to cope with the outbreak, including in the Maracana football stadium Medical officials in Rio de Janeiro and at least four other major cities have warned that their hospital systems are on the verge of collapse, or already too overwhelmed to take any more patients.
Health experts expect the number of infections in the country of 211 million people will be much higher than what has been reported because of insufficient, delayed testing. Meanwhile, President Jair Bolsonaro has shown no sign of wavering from his insistence that COVID-19 is a relatively minor disease and that broad social-distancing measures are not needed to stop it.
the USA is still a huge hotspot

This is awful. Another system on the 'verge' of collapse. So how many have actually collapsed? We can't remember because so many have been on the verge.
Yeah yeah, just like the rest of the world but it didn’t happen. Even counting every single death as a covid dearh the figures were still as low as the flu.
3rd world countries, it was always going to happen.
HowardWalter1 USA, UK, Brazil all run by buffoons. A tragedy for their citizens.
Hope that countries with borders with Brazil CLOSE them now!
Bolsonaro is tropical Trump, but with military service.
With a Trump clone as president no doubt
