From the beginning, President Jair Bolsonaro , The Virus has played, below. Early on in The Crisis , he repeatedly went on TV, called it a small flu, and accused the media hysteria.

He has not scheduled a television address for a while, maybe do not want to be Drowned Out by the noise of the Cup hitting the protesters on their balconies, has the intention to listen to their Anger over his leadership.

But in The Absence of public transfers, The Public display of disrespect, even as his people graves and buried their dead in mass in the Amazon and to the hospitals in some parts of the hard at the breakdown.
