Yeah, Brazil tried that. With a half million dead already and cases and deaths rising pretty much nonstop the past year, the people are getting pissed. Bolsonaro will likely be in prison or worse within the next couple years over it.
Yeah, I had not looked at Brazil for a few weeks: Cases and fatalities dropped a bit in April, but were still at a high level. For over a month now, cases have rising again, slowly, but steadily, and fatalities appear to be following, with the usual lag.
Brazil is now #10 on the list of fatalities per million population (far ahead of us) and, worse, it’s trends are very bad.
