The WHO alarm on Brazil: “New wave of Covid, it’s a tragedy”
The circulation of Covid-19 in Brazil dates back with vigor: today the South American country records 65,169 new positives and another 1,337 deaths. A week ago, the new positives were 53,582. Yesterday, Brazil had 1,541 deaths, the second highest daily toll since the beginning of the epidemic. Brazil, with 211 million inhabitants, had over 250,000 deaths during the epidemic and more than 10 million infections. Brazil is facing “a tragedy” caused by “a new wave” of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to theWorld Health Organization. “Unfortunately, it is a tragedy that Brazil is facing all this again, it is difficult. This should be the fourth wave that Brazil faces,” said Mike Ryan, WHO emergency director. Ryan praised Brazil’s public health system and state action to counter the spread of the coronavirus but stressed that national transmission needs to be controlled. “Brazil has many exceptional public health facilities. I believe the country knows what to do and many states are trying to apply the best measures. But it is not easy as there is not a part of the country that has not been seriously affected. from the pandemic, “according to Ryan. The increasing trend of deaths and infections of Covid-19 in Brazil “must be a warning to the whole world, the pandemic is not over and any relaxation is dangerous”, added the WHO executive.
Usa, ok of the House on the Biden floor: aid of 1.9 trillion
The US House has approved a $ 1,900 billion pandemic aid bill wanted by US President Joe Biden. The new president’s plan to inject new resources into COVID-19 affected individuals, companies, states and cities has passed with a vote close to the party line. The plan, which got the go-ahead with 219 votes in favor and 212 against after a debate that lasted hours, will go through the Senate next week. Republicans did not vote for it because they believe it contains too expensive and misallocated measures. “This is not the time to relax on the pandemic front,” said Biden, who warned Americans of the risk of a new increase in infections due to the variants of the virus. “We are ahead of the planned plan of administering 100 million doses of the vaccine in the first days of my presidency – said Biden – but we must listen to Anthony Fauci and the scientists, it is not the time to relax. We must wash our hands, wear masks and respect social distancing “. Biden said he was “proud to say we are halfway there, 50 million doses. We are weeks ahead of schedule even with the delays caused by the winter storm.” The plan, by the way, is set to accelerate further, because the US authorities gave the green light to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the third American vaccine: “It is safe and ready for distribution,” said the president of the United States.
Brazil, Bolsonaro against social distancing: “People can’t take it anymore”
New shot against the anti-Covid social distancing measures by the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, from the beginning skeptical of the pandemic. “People can no longer stay at home. People want to work. Whoever closes everything and destroys work does the opposite of what people want,” said the president at the inauguration of a section of a highway in state of Cearà. More and more regional and municipal governments are adopting new and stricter measures, such as night curfews and business closures, to limit gatherings and pressure on hospitals. Similar measures, adopted in the first months of the pandemic, had been eased since mid-2020, but now the resumption of infections and deaths (Brazil is second in absolute terms for deaths from Covid) have prompted local administrations to restore them.
Argentina, the new Minister of Health also positive for the virus
The Argentine Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, she had to put herself in solitary confinement yesterday after receiving a Coid-19 positive result in an antigen test she had undergone in order to be present next Monday for a debate in the Senate on the vaccination program launched in the country. The confirmation of the news was given via Twitter by Vizzotti herself, who had taken office not even a week ago, succeeding Ginés Gonzalez García, who resigned for responsibility in a vip vaccination scandal. The problem has also forced the coordinator of the government Santiago Cafiero into precautionary isolation, who in recent days has participated in various meetings with the minister. The Argentine Ministry of Health indicated yesterday evening that 5,083 new infections and 92 deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours, bringing the respective budgets since last March to 2,089,728 and 51,887.
