The Brazilian head of state devalued Tuesday’s figures: Brazil surpassed China’s total number of deaths, with a record of 474 deaths in the last 24 hours, and stated that “no one denied that there were any deaths.”

But the strong statement was approaching.

Jair Bolsonaro lamented the record of deaths from the new Coronavirus in the country, but emphasized that it does not work miracles.

“And that? Sorry, but what do you want me to do? I’m Messiah, but I don’t work miracles, ”he said, in a pun on his name (Jair Messias Bolsonaro), after being asked about the fact that Brazil has exceeded the total number of deaths in China, with a record of 474 deaths in the last 24 hours, now a total of 5017 deaths due to Covid-19.

Then it devalued Tuesday’s numbers.

“Today’s deaths, in principle, were from people infected two weeks ago. That’s what I’m saying: the virus will reach 70% of the population. Unfortunately it is reality. No one has ever denied that there would be deaths, ”added his official residence in Brasilia at the Palácio da Alvorada.
