Defending vertical isolation – a type of eviction advocated by President Jair Bolsonaro in which only people from covid-19 risk groups stay home – Deputy Celso Russomanno (Republicans) suggested that homeless people they may be more resistant to the new coronavirus. because they can’t shower every day.
“We have occasional cases, we don’t have a large number of homeless people with a covidity problem. Perhaps they are more resistant than us because they live together all the time on the street, they cannot shower every day, etc. But it was not what was expected, ”said the deputy, who is a candidate for the City of São Paulo and is in the first place in the voting intention polls. The phrase was said by Russomanno at a press conference held after his participation in an event of the São Paulo Trade Association (ACSP), which has been receiving all the candidates for the position of mayor.
“Everyone expected the covid to take care of everyone, especially since they (the homeless) do not have this separation that was pre-established by the guidelines of the World Health Organization and the government and they are there,” he said.
The deputy also said he knows cases of families living in crowded houses in which there are no cases of the disease. “If we walk around the periphery and enter the houses, as I do when I defend the consumer, because of the problem of a refrigerator, they are people who usually live with four or five people in the same room and who have absolutely no distance and that the whole family did not contract the disease, ”he said.
Russomanno cited these cases of lack of isolation when defending the verticalization of social isolation. “If you go to the periphery, you will see that isolation does not exist. Isolation exists in the upper middle class, not in the peripheries. I have been managing the peripheries since the pandemic began, doing what you do, denouncing,” he defended.
“This isolation should have been done, after the first 30 days, vertically, attending to people with respiratory problems, heart problems, the elderly, people with disabilities. It should have been attended, and not closed the trade in the manner correct. That was done, breaking and stopping everyone. “The statements were made during the press conference after his intervention in the ACSP.
At that time, a journalist asked him about part of his participation in the event in which he defended vertical isolation and said that the pandemic would not have affected, as expected by the São Paulo government, the homeless and residents of the region . cracolândia, in the center of São Paulo.
