Wake up Americans. Too many lives have been lost, and too much pain and suffering inflicted by the nonsensical directions from your leader and mismanagement of the pandemic.

Unions in Brazil accuse government of being 'criminally negligent in its management' of coronavirus pandemic.

Take a page from the Brazilians, and action now before more lives perish unnecessarily.

World Health Organisation reports largest single-day increase in cases

Don’t think that Victorian and New South Wales are over cautious in relaxing the restrictions. It is true that these states are still very low in confirmed cases and fatality, no one should be complacent and take things for granted.

Within the linked report is a table showing the various countries’ cases and deaths in different countries,

High infection rate may be a rough guide to the severity, but the actual number of deaths give a more disturbing story,

The ranking of number of deaths of various countries extracted is shown below:

  • USA
  • Brazil
  • UK
  • Italy
  • France

I am very surprised with the cases in France, and I shall research a bit more about the country.

Thank you for reading.

This confirms that those countries with nutty leaders who have stupid ideas of not locking down their countries early or not at all cause more fatality and infection.

Boris Johnson contracted the virus and then changed his mind. Research has shown that even if he locked down the country one week earlier, the casualty would have been halved.

US still take the lead, and it is not something to be proud of.

President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, also often described as South America’s Donald Trump, remains dismissive of the devastating impact of the virus and opposed to lockdowns. The country achieved unenviable results breaking new record of Coronavirus cases recently.

Thank you.
