We know that Bolsonaro is cut from the same cloth as Trump.

He’s done so in response to the coronavirus too. (See Bolsonaro Says ‘Coronavirus Crisis’ is ‘Fantasy’ Spread by the Media for example.)

Yet today the Brazilian health minister whines:

WHO’s Pandemic Declaration Came Too Late, Brazil Says

The World Health Organization was too slow in declaring the global coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, complicating authorities’ work to curb the spread of the virus, according to Brazil’s Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta.

The pandemic declaration will allow health agents to direct anyone with symptoms of the illness to a health care unit, whereas before only people arriving from specific locations such as China would receive such treatment, he explained during a meeting with lawmakers in Brazil’s Congress.

“Now, in a manner that is even late, the WHO agrees with the Brazilian assessment that we are facing a pandemic,” Mandetta said, arguing that the world would have fewer cases today had the WHO made that call earlier.

Brazil currently has 52 confirmed cases of coronavirus, and zero fatalities.

Classic.
