Donald Trump Isn't the Worst Covid President.

Just Ask Brazilians.

Donald Trump Isn't the Worst Covid President. Just Ask Brazilians.

Video        NYT Opinion        The New York Times        15 July 2020

Who’s the world’s worst leader at handling the pandemic?

Easy.

Donald Trump. Right? Well, as terrible as Mr. Trump is,

a Brazilian YouTube star, Felipe Neto,

argues it’s actually his president, Jair Bolsonaro.

Presidents Trump and Bolsonaro have long admired each other’s

caustic styles of governance.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise

that the United States and Brazil

are the only two countries in the world

with over a million confirmed cases of Covid-19.

It’s a tight race, and to be sure,

neither government should be praised,

but the reckless denial by Brazilian leadership is appalling.

Mr. Neto is not normally one to comment on politics.

He usually sticks

to entertaining his 38 million followers on YouTube

with his comedic takes on pop culture.

But as the death toll mounts,

he’s become more outspoken.

And his message isn’t aimed only at Brazilians

— it’s also for Americans.

Brazil > Maxciel Pereira dos Santos        UK

An officer in Brazil’s

Indigenous protection agency,

Funai,

Maxciel Pereira dos Santos

had worked closely with Bruno Pereira

patrolling the increasingly perilous waters

of the Javari valley region

in remote Amazonas.

Tracing illegal fishing and hunting operations,

seizing guns and ammunition

– it was poorly paid, precarious work,

which many believe cost both men their lives.

In September 2019

Maxciel was shot dead

in cold blood on the streets

of the Brazilian city Tabatinga,

which sits on the tri-state border

between Peru and Colombia.

Almost three years later,

the murder remains unsolved.
