Bolsonaro threatens WHO exit as Covid-19 kills ‘a Brazilian per minute’ | Malay Mail

A new Brazilian record for daily Covid-19 fatalities pushed the county’s death toll past that of Italy late on Thursday, but Bolsonaro continues to argue for quickly lifting state isolation orders, arguing that the economic costs outweigh public health risks. In an editorial running the length of newspaper Folha de S.Paulo’s front page, the Brazilian daily highlighted that just 100 days had passed since Bolsonaro described the virus now “killing a Brazilian per minute” as “a little flu.”Brazil’s Health Ministry reported late on Thursday that confirmed cases in the country had climbed past 600,000 and 1,437 deaths had been registered within 24 hours, the third consecutive daily record.

In comments to journalists later yesterday, Bolsonaro said Brazil will consider leaving the WHO unless it ceases to be a “partisan political organisation.”
