Dear 🌎 friends and the people of Brazil 🇧🇷—the world is watching the horrible #COVID19 crisis—we know you are suffering, under a leader that ignores/muzzles you. We hear your cries.
Brazil may be soon facing an epic humanitarian crisis if we don’t act.
Let’s #StandWithBrazil.

2) After I posted what was happening in Brazil, I received a chilling email—
“Dear Eric:
I’m a professor at University of XXX, in Brazil. I’m writing privately because academics are being chased here. It’s not a matter of poor leadership but of an ongoing extermination project.”

3) “Bolsonaro is a psychopath. All his actions are surgically planned, with harmful consequences for all planetary health. You do not need to take my opinion into account; just take a look at the headlines of the articles printed in the most credible newspapers around the world.”
4) “He has to be stopped; otherwise, the world will witness a mass massacre unprecedented in the 21st century. We do not have much time. We call for all international pressure now.
Cordially, XXXXX”
Cordially, XXXXX”
5) The writer continues: “I fear for very serious outcomes, affecting all efforts made to contain the covid on a world scale, if this psychopath is not stopped. You, better than a few, know the consequences of free circulation of this virus in a country of 210 mil inhabitants.”
6) “One of the possibilities at stake is that we remain isolated from the rest of the world, suffering the consequences of the criminal actions of this genocide.”
7) “I'm sorry for the outburst, but I've already lost many close people, including my mother. I think that perhaps the international community can mobilize. I apologize for asking too much.”
8) “Yes, it’s very frustrating because it has been a while since we know what needs to be done, how, when, and where, but politicians are still not responsive. Fortunately, now you have the Biden-Harris government....”
9) “Here (in Brazil 🇧🇷), all of our attempts are rejected; scientists are enemies of the government.
I really appreciate your kindness. Let me know of any news. Stay safe. Regards, XXX”

10) For those catching up... here is what is unfolding in Brazil. Majority of state capital cities now at ~100% ICU occupancy. Hospitalizations and deaths are exponentially climbing.
#P1 is the extremely contagious #SARSCov2 variant that is surging.

12) if this is the hospitalization and #COVID19 chart last week in one of the richer areas is Brazil... imagine it now and imagine it in poorer regions of Brazil.

13) Here is the English translated figure of the above. Notice that deaths were not updated after Feb 25th. It’s much much higher now. I cry for Brazil 🇧🇷
