RIO DE JANEIRO — As the coronavirus tore through Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro came under blistering criticism for sabotaging the isolation measures imposed by states, encouraging mass rallies by his supporters and lashing out on the soaring death toll, saying, “What do you want me to do?”
Now that the outbreak in Brazil has gotten even worse — with more infections than any country but the United States — Mr. Bolsonaro’s government has come up with a unique response to the growing alarm: It decided to stop reporting the cumulative toll of the virus altogether.
Brazil’s health ministry took down the website where it had been reporting coronavirus statistics on Friday. And then, when it came back online on Saturday, the site omitted the historical data — leaving out how many people had already been infected or killed because of the virus.
Lawmakers and health experts quickly attacked Mr. Bolsonaro in unusually blistering terms. Not only did they condemn the government’s decision to withhold comprehensive statistics as deaths and contagion continue to soar, but they roundly criticized the Bolsonaro administration’s repeated practice of playing down the danger of the virus, regardless of what scientists and his own health ministers may say.

Could it be that this is a ham-fisted way of dealing with the outbreak by someone who sees the CCP Virus as an opportunity to exercise globalist control over a country?
Being that this is the New York Toiletpaper, I’d wash my hands just to check if they said water was wet. So I went over to worldometer, and lo and behold, Brazil isn’t following a significantly different trajectory than other countries, including the US. They’re a few weeks behind the US, and are just now hitting their peak, in spite of not going along with the lockdown BS.
In the US, as we approach two weeks since mass Democrat Retard Pride parties began, still no significant jump in the Chinese Chest Cold. Certainly no exponential explosion. I guess shouting Black Lives Matter makes you immune to the Chinese Chest Cold.
We’ve been had, folks.
Bolsonaro is a Trump Style conservative, hence the negative story from the NY Times.
Who knows if anything the NYT writes has any truth in it.
I stand with Bolsonaro.
NYT can suck it.
Open it up!
“””Brazil’s health ministry took down the website”””” headed by Pablo Fauci…..
(sarcastic, but probably has a whole lot of truth to it)

Partisan Media Shills update.
If you’re under 60, the risk of dying from Cocid is less than the flu.
If you’re under 20, you are waaay more likely to die from the flu, than from Covid.
Now decide what’s important. Hint:counting covid deaths is not. Who gives af? We’ve been had, in spades.
