“We’re going to face the virus like a man, dammit, not like a little boy.”

- [Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil](https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2020/04/11/jair-bolsonaro-isolates-himself-in-the-wrong-way)🇧🇷

"The president is doing nothing"

- [João Doria, governor of São Paulo, Brazil](https://time.com/5816243/brazil-jair-bolsonaro-coronavirus-governors/)

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the 5th largest in the world. Its population of 211 million is 6th in the world, and it covers nearly half the land area of South America.

Brazil's President thinks he's the 🍊Donald TrЦmp of Latin America, but unfortunately, he makes Dæddy look like a perfectly stable genius. His rise to power started when he ran for city council to get out of trouble in the army. His lucky break came in 2018 when the front-runner for president got arrested and he took the lead. Also, one time a congresswoman called him a rapist, and he responded that she was "not worth raping; she is very ugly".

All that aside, Brazil actually had an early lead going against the bat flu. The Health Ministry found and investigated the first 9 suspected cases in South America at the end of January, at a time when the US federal agencies were still systematically botching testing.

By February 25, they had confirmed the first case in São Paulo -- also the first confirmed case in South America. By February 28, they had sequenced the genome of the first case, and on the 29th they confirmed the second case.

On March 6, Bolsonaro gave a [speech](https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2020/04/11/jair-bolsonaro-isolates-himself-in-the-wrong-way) to Brazil. He said that "there is no reason to panic" and that Brazil should follow "expert recommendations". Nobody's quite sure which experts he was talking about here, because he's been ignoring his health ministry, his regional governors, and Science in general ever since.

On March 7, Bolsonaro flew to Miami to chill with his number one hero, 🍊Dæddy. He brought his press secretary Fabio Wajngarten in his entourage, who then....

....tested positive for the WuFlu on March 12! A bunch of high-level Brazilian officials had to quarantine and/or test, as did a bunch of Dæddy's various friends and relations (and Dæddy himself even!). Bolsonaro has claimed since that he has been tested twice, both negative.

Bolso's close brush with the Chingles seems to have only persuaded him that that he's invulnerable, and therefore it's not a problem for anyone else either. While the Ministry of Health recommended that anyone arriving in the country should isolate themselves, he [went out on the streets](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-15/bolsonaro-lauds-protesters-taking-to-streets-despite-virus-risk) to hang out with his (often elderly) supporters to protest against the Brazilian congress, where he delivered fist bumps, selfies, and hugs, and generally hung around without any sort of protective gear.

 By March 21, the first death had been confirmed, as had more than a thousand cases. All 26 states had confirmed at least one case. Lacking anything resembling leadership from above, Brazil's local governments began to issue their own quarantine orders. So of course, Bolso went ahead and [gave a speech](https://www.jacobinmag.com/2020/03/jair-bolsonaro-coronavirus-covid-political-crisis) on the 24th implying that everybody was just being total pЦssies and the covid is really a "little flu" ('gripezinha'). 

Since it was clear that their feds🐷 weren't going to to do jack squat about the Flu Tang Clan, Brazil's real power structures took enforcement into their own hands. By March 26th, the criminal gangs who hold power across the favelas in Rio (slums, aka most of the city) were enforcing their own curfew, complete with posters, social media messaging, and car-mounted megaphones on the streets. One gang [said that](https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/11930-organized-crime-enforcing-quarantine-in-brazilian-favelas) "if the government does not have the capacity to fix it, organized crime will solve it". 

Brazil's drug gangs form an important (if unofficial) segment of local governance in the country. They're known for enforcing their own local curfews when, for example, respected gang members die. But with the Bat🦇 Blyat, they are not fЦcking around. They're strictly enforcing curfews every night, and have even cancelled the "bailes funk" - the giant dance parties they normally throw each weekend to sell drugs💊 at.

The regional governors also decided to stop waiting for the feds to get off their asses and do something. By the end of March, nearly every state had implemented some form of quarantine on their own, and declared some form of emergency situation. But in the crowded favelas, it's hard for poor Brazilians to keep their distance. And even the national government has been terrible at it -- at least 13 high-level officials have tested positive, which puts Brazil in second place behind Iran.

Over the last couple weeks, confirmed cases have climbed above 20k, but the actual number is likely to be orders of magnitude higher. Quarantined Brazilians have been banging pots🍲 and pans🍳 together on their balconies to protest Bolso, who has been blaming the fake news media for using the virus against him politically. 

On March 19th, Bolso's son Eduardo tweeted that the virus was "China's fault", and the Chinese embassy in Brazil [responded](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/19/coronavirus-bolsonaro-son-china-row) that Edurardo had clearly picked up a "mental virus" in the USA. This has been a problem for Brazil's health ministry, which has been [trying to buy medical supplies from China](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-brazil/brazil-looks-to-china-for-coronavirus-help-as-cases-rise-quickly-idUSKBN21P3A2) and now has a lot of sucking up to do.

Anyway, if the Bat🦇 Soup🍜 Droop🦠 doesn't get Bolso itself, it's likely the crisis will. His approval rating has been plummeting and he's been losing allies. Brazil's version of the DDF still supports him strong, but much like America, they are a bunch of rætærded boomers, who keep gathering in large groups to support him without protective gear.

In summary, here is an [educational video](https://www.reddit.com/r/ItHadToBeBrazil/comments/fspzzo/about_the_quarentine_here_in_brazil/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x) of the current situation in Brazil.
