Out of control situation

Faced with this resurgence of coronavirus, hospitals are overcrowded in most areas. AT Sao Paulo, buses were used to transport the bodies. Cemeteries are also overwhelmed, and to cope with the influx of new corpses, funerals have been held overnight.

No action taken at national level

Despite this catastrophic situation, far-right President Jair Bolsonaro continues to question the restrictive measures taken by mayors and state governors. The latter have imposed health rules, often insufficient and sometimes contradictory, for each city and each State in the absence of real coordination at the national level. However, specialists have indicated that they fear an even worse massacre than that of March.
