BRASILIA - After two straight days of record COVID-19 deaths in Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday told Brazilians to stop “whining” and move on, in his latest remarks attacking distancing measures and downplaying the gravity of the pandemic.

Brazil has the world’s second-highest death toll over the past year, after the United States. While the U.S. outbreak is ebbing, Brazil is facing its worst phase of the epidemic yet, pushing its hospital system to the brink of collapse.

“Enough fussing and whining. How much longer will the crying go on?” Bolsonaro told a crowd at an event. “How much longer will you stay at home and close everything? No one can stand it anymore. We regret the deaths, again, but we need a solution.”

The Health Ministry registered 75,102 additional cases of coronavirus on Thursday, the most in a single day since July and the second-highest on record. Brazil also recorded 1,699, decreasing slightly from the previous two days of record deaths.

1. What a dickhead nt

2. We regret the deaths, again, but we need a solution.

Other countries have found the solution. Or. at least, ways of minimizing deaths.

The solution? It's multifaceted. But look at other countries as to how to do it.

Telling people to stop whining and just put up with it, isn't part of the solution.

Trump's twin brother separated at birth, by the sound of it.

4. This should help:

What a sick douchebag!

5. In other words:

3. Brazilian Trump

Another conservative, no surprise here.

[William Seger]

11. I'm not sure where the line is between "conservative" and "fascist"

... but it doesn't matter: Trump and Bolsonaro are both well beyond it.

6. Sounds like he's the one who's whining.

[twodogsbarking]

9. Also sounds very

Republican. Bootstraps?

[ancianita]

7. What contempt.

[raccoon]

8. I can't post what I think he deserves for being such a callous asshole. Nt

10. bolsanaro thanked 'the brazilian limbaugh', a guy who broadcasts from virginia, for his 'success' an

and limbaugh denied and downplayed COVID all the way - getting social media help from russia (here and brazil)

trump coordinated with limbaugh and it should be considered genocide. if bolsanaro also coordinated with that guy. likewise - genocide

and now that limbaugh has croaked the brazilllian limbaugh might be running out of material, and bolsanaro out of time on earth

12. Brazil is doing WORSE than the US on Covid metrics after we led the way for months and months

Unbelievable how bad he is. We'd still be doing really bad if it were not for Biden. This is what happens with crummy, fascist leadership.

[BlueWavePsych]

13. I'd like to see him whining on a ventilator

[dlk]

14. This is what a psychopath looks like

He doesn't care - why should Brazilians?

[patphil]

15. Bolsonaro says they need a solution. Well, here's one for you Jair:

Get rid of Bolsonaro!
Elect someone who actually cares about the people of Brazil.

16. I bet that pos got a vaccine shot. In FL?

17. I am surprised

that no one seems to consider that he is just practicing a little genocide to lower the 6th biggest population in the world. I doubt that he will hold power for too much longer, and so he is reducing those who will eventually remove him by whatever means necessary. Disgusting to say the least, but even someone like him is only half delusional... he is aware of what is going on. He just doesn't want the money to stop or his power to fade. Leaders from time immortal have used bluster and noise to try and trick people into not doing anything about their reign of terror. Just look at us...

[Yeehah]

18. I hope Brazilians tire of their hatemonger fascist experiment

and return to some form of rational government.
