ELDORADO, Brazil—Brazil faced a somber milestone on Saturday, with the country’s Covid-19 death toll poised to surpass 100,000 as the disease spreads widely beyond the megacities where it first gained a toehold and tears through smaller towns and rural areas.
The only other nation to experience that number of deaths so far is the U.S. Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, has backed limited measures to control the new coronavirus, saying stricter public-health rules would do too much economic harm, something his opponents dispute.
Post what’s really important!!!! The stock market is setting records!!!

That is why people need to do everything they know they can do to stop COVIDー19 & too many peoplr are inpacient or care more about money & now more are dead from covid this is the most dangerous time for doctors worldwide in the last 20 years
The Tories..... hold my pint.
Stay open
Give us some positive news for a change surely not everything has to be doom and gloom
Omg..😞
To admit to.
Another fascist dictator
We all know China blew past that death toll number in April but since the WSJ cashes Chinese checks you won’t see it from this paper.
Wow we are just like Brazil. Greatest number of deaths from Covid, worst record on environment protection, unsafe drinking water, and an autocratic bigot at the helm. Who woulda thought...
Yeah like China hasn’t
MaryKat27549382 the rise of right wing populism has given the world most of its current woes, including the corrupt and tepid response to this pandemic.
Well, China isn't known for their accuracy in reporting.
FAKE NEWS. Brazil has a huge population. Deaths per million much below major European countries. Plenty of ICU beds.
Brasil -212 million
WSJ when you post articles please be comprehensive instead of miSleading sensationalists! On a population basis the death rate in the Us is al most identical to that of the European countries population equivalent to the US. Get Real
jairbolsonaro is a fucking idiot. realDonaldTrump is a fucking idiot. But why would they both be failing so miserably? I am perplexed.
What is Brazil’s population compared to that of the U.S.? How many times does the Brazil fit into the U.S.? How many of these people have comorbidity and trimorbidity risks?
What is a fascist? Fascism is a system of government led by a dictator who typically rules by forcefully and often violently suppressing opposition and criticism, controlling all industry and commerce, and promoting nationalism and often racism. Donald John Trump is a Fascist!!
