From IstoÉ Dinheiro, April 30, 2021: Brazil passes 400,000 Covid deaths and could be stuck at a high plateau for months: This Thursday [now last Thursday] Brazil will become the second country in the world to break the level of 400,000 lives lost to Covid-19, after recording more than 100,000 deaths from the disease in just over one month, and specialists warn of the risk of being stuck at a plateau of 2,000 deaths per day for months, due to the absence of measures to contain the circulation of the virus while vaccination has not accelerated.

From Folha de S. Paulo, April 29, 2021: Brazil arrives at 400 thousand Covid deaths with federal government ineptitude: Given the urgency of the numbers and under the pressure of a congressional investigation into his management of the pandemic, president Jair Bolsonaro (no party) has been advised to temper his language about the worst health crisis in a hundred years. When they crossed the milestones of 100 thousand cadavers (on August 8, 2020), 200 thousand (on January 7 of this year), and 300 thousand (on March 24), Brazilians heard from the highest authority in the country that Sars-Cov-2 is a “mass media fantasy,” “a little flu,” and just “wah, wah, wah.”
