Brazil reached more than a million confirmed coronavirus cases and 50,000 deaths over the weekend as throngs of people swarmed Rio de Janeiro beaches, but the World Health Organization said on Monday that even more cases were likely going uncounted.

As the toll climbs in Rio, the state with the second highest number of novel coronavirus cases, the local health secretary said on Monday he would resign after about month in office. Ferry took the job after police began investigating the state health agency for suspicious state-level contracts and equipment purchases meant to address the pandemic. That triggered the state legislature to open impeachment proceedings against Rio’s governor.

The WHO is looking into a surge of more than 54,000 new coronavirus cases in Brazil in 24 hours, that was reported by the health ministry on Friday and is by far the most reported in the country in a single day, according to top WHO emergencies expert Mike Ryan.

I have yet to hear of a beach superspreader event. Can we just let people go to the beach and focus on nursing homes, meatpacking plants, bars and churches?

They like God...but he didn't spread intelligence arround there...

Na terra que se elegeu um completo imbecil, despreparado, miliciano para presidente da republica.

O pior do Brasil são os políticos e o povo ignorante e mesquinho

Brazil is experiencing a pandemic crisis together with a political crisis, created by an unscrupulous and genocidal president. He's the worst president in the country! ForaBolsonaro

Undercounting? There are lots of examples of overcounting since hospitals are getting federal subsidies for death certificates stating Covid 19 as cause of death. And, how old is this photo? Not everybody lives on the coast. Do not judge the country of 215 mi due to a bad photo.

Gripezinha... parabéns ao exemplo maldito do presidente

por isso tem 50 mil mortes Vai continuar aumentando e foda-se a gente né

I am Brazilian and we have the worst president in the world.

BRAZIL IS LIKE SHIT!! THE PRESIDENT IS THE MOST STUPID IN THE WORLD!!! HE DOESNT SPEAK ENGLISH AS WELL, DO YOU BELIEVE?!?😂😂😂😂😂😱😱😱😱😱

*Representative Image of Hell

é no rio?

hello I urgently ask you to report the same case of the death of George Floyd, but only in Brazil, in São Paulo. They are killing young black people, terrorizing the population. Report to your audience and the world.

😡😡😡

เฮ้อออ

god i can’t wait for when we guillotine bolsonaro

With proper testing Brazil would be far ahead the US on both deaths and case count. Bolsonaro is relentless

Lamentável

Quite frankly, no one seems to care anymore. And that is worrisome.

ForaBolsonaro

we have the best president ever. Brazil above all God above all Bolsonaro2022

It is because of these idiots that the pandemic only increases.

And unfortunetly that what the actual govern thinks. Just like Trump, It denied the pandemic with the same 'china' argument. Fake news are another pandemic that we have to fight here. USA had protests against Lockdown, conservatives against science. Same here.

There are people swimming in the ocean with no surgical mask on 😮 How about that? 🤔🙄

realKizitoUg1 More corona 😂

ForaBolsonaros

Funerária santa luzia sua tristeza nossa alegria

São loucos!

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Under counting? The Oppostiion Governors against are counting car accidents as corona deaths. They are burying coffins with rocks, and this is a Fact.

It is very hot in Brazil. Most people can't afford air-conditioning. The Beach is free. Don't judge them.

Bruno_mdmm, vai Brasil!!!!!

Look at our president... Can you blame us for wanting to die?

93 dias e contando..., esses pseudos-espertos zanzando livres, leves e soltos🤬🤬🤬

Brasil foi um Fiasco no Combate ao Vírus !

OMS não sabem nem que dia é hoje, todo dia uma nova narrativa ..

we're doomed!!

WHO?

ForaBolsonaro

People lost confidence in the authorities, since the president does everything he can to hijack the WHO recommendations: Firing two health ministers, declaring barber shops as essential services, going on TV to diminish the 'little flu', going to pro-govt demonstrations etc

Br la se importa com a vida

Is who still relevant?

brazil have chosen to die, the country voted for Bolsonaro...so....

We have over a million cases and we are almost testing nobody. Actually we are just testing the positive ones, those who are already sick, wich is ridiculous for uses in public policy. SP RJ and another's big cities have no hospital structure anymore and people keep going out 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hate this country and who lives here. We are the worst people in the world.

They will learn the hard way. They have a shorty government and yet they won’t do the right thing to protect themselves.

Our people have no empathy, each one thinks only of himself.😩

Brasil tem o pior presidente do mundo

Shame

WHO FAKE NEWS

Vergonha de ser Brasileiro?

Lula is the best of president Brasil.

Que vergonha...

shame

Vão à praia, aos churrascos, às festas de São João. Uns irresponsáveis!

zehdeabreu Isso é no Rio! Uma vergonha

FORABOLSONARO

Perhaps they’ve decided on a herd immunity solution. A high number of deaths might be acceptable to their government.

well it's not like they have a million cases...

Bugo

Jaboticaba.... podre. ForaBolsonaro impeachmentJa BolsonaroOut

wow.. new normal world begin.. keep immune guys

The Best President jairbolsonaro

Shame

Salt water will kill any virus.

Is anybody still believing what WHO has to say?

USA vs. Brazil: The coronavirus race!

caviarconero gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pes.

Are they trying to out stupid Americans?

Who?

Hospital de Campanha no Estádio Pacaembu encerrará as atividades no dia 30 de junho. Aqui no Brasil, os políticos estão lucrando muito dinheiro com a COVID 19.

Unbelievable 🙁

It looks more like millions than Brazilians.

It’s almost all dudes from what I can tell.

Keep the party alive.

What would Charles Darwin say about this?

Was that after they subtracted the 5000 fake infections and 300 fake deaths from the fake hospital the parliament broke into and busted? The 5th one.

I... just... 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

I thought we in Britain were stupid!!!
