Brazil’s Bolsonaro Says Fresh Covid Lockdown Measures are ‘Crazy’
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a longtime critic of stay-at-home measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic, said on Thursday, October 29th, that it was “crazy” for countries to start locking down again to control second waves of the virus.
Most Western countries and parts of Latin America have reported their highest single-day surges in the past few weeks. Many governments, with the notable exception of the United States, have started taking stronger measures to bring the spread of the virus under control.
