Elsewhere overseas, public opinion in Japan is still highly against holding the Summer Olympics. And, in the U.S., researchers say they’ve made a troubling discovery about a lack of exercise and COVID-19 cases.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is under investigation for his handling of the coronavirus. Brazil's Senate launched a probe into how the president handled the pandemic. The investigation could result in referral of possible wrongdoing to law enforcement, according to Reuters. The federal response to the pandemic will be looked into in addition to the probe. Medical systems around the country have struggled to keep up with the pandemic, especially due to a P1 variant of the virus. Nearly 4,000 Brazilians died from the coronavirus on Tuesday which brought total deaths in the country to 358,000. Victims also continue to get younger as more than 50% of intensive care beds are now occupied by patients under 40

When Someone says the number of deaths on a specific day of the week is X, especially if its a Tuesday, that is propaganda and not real news.

Brazil’s 7 day average daily deaths is 3,000, not 4,000, still high, but a 10X lower rate of death per population than Cuomo’s New York at its peak and you were still 2X as likely to have died from Covid in NYC than in Brazil. Brazil has a LONG way to go to be as bad as New York.
