Coronavirus: Brazil overtakes Spain, Italy in COVID-19 cases

Brazil now has the fourth-largest coronavirus outbreak in the world, surpassing former epicenter Italy in the number of confirmed cases. President Bolsonaro continues to downplay the virus and slammed lockdown measures.



Brazil overtook Spain and Italy in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases on Saturday, making it the fourth-largest outbreak in the world.

The country's total number of cases rose to 233,142 after authorities logged 14,919 new cases, according to data form Brazil's Health Ministry.

A total of 15,633 people have died due to the coronavirus in the country so far, with the country registering 816 new fatalities over the past 24 hours.

Experts have warned that due to under-testing, the actual figures could be as much as 15 times higher, cautioning that the worst could be yet to come.

Bolsonaro downplaying virus

Despite the rising case numbers and fatalities, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has repeatedly downplayed the seriousness of the outbreak, dismissing the virus as a "little flu."

He has also continued to attack lockdown measures implemented by some governors to contain the spread of the virus, and calling for businesses to reopen

"Unemployment, hunger and misery will be the future of those who support the tyranny of total isolation," the far-right president tweeted.

His remarks came a day after Health Minister Nelson Teich resigned from his post after less than a month on the job.

Only the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom have logged more case than Brazil, but the South American country has carried out only a fraction of the tests than those three other countries.

Hundreds demand justice in Minneapolis after police killing of George Floyd
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...protest-police

Hundreds of protesters gathered in the city on Tuesday evening to demand justice after Floyd, who was African American, was killed when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground during an arrest. Footage of the incident showed Floyd shouting “I cannot breathe” and “Don’t kill me!”

Floyd died late on Monday, when officers responded to a call from a grocery store that claimed Floyd had used a forged check. Police said Floyd “physically resisted officers” while possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

In the video footage, witnesses can be heard shouting at officers to get off Floyd’s neck. One yells: “Bro, he’s not even fucking moving!” Another asks if “you’re going to just sit there with your knee on his neck?”

The Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, apologized to Floyd’s family on Tuesday morning, saying “[Floyd] should not have died.”

“For five minutes we watched as a white officer pressed his knee to the neck of a black man,” Frey said.“For five minutes. This officer failed in the most basic human sense.

The FBI and authorities in Minnesota announced on Tuesday they had launched an investigation into Floyd’s death, and the incident is being investigated by the FBI for possible civil rights violations. Four police officers involved in the incident have been fired.

Coronavirus: What attacks on Asians reveal about American identity
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52714804

Attacks on East Asian people living in the US have shot up during the pandemic, revealing an uncomfortable truth about American identity.

In states including New York, California, and Texas, East Asians have been spat on, punched or kicked - and in one case even stabbed.

Authorities in New York City and Los Angeles say that hate incidents against people of Asian descent have increased, while a reporting centre run by advocacy groups and San Francisco State University says it received over 1,700 reports of coronavirus-related discrimination from at least 45 US states since it launched in March.

Police in at least 13 states, including Texas, Washington, New Jersey, Minnesota and New Mexico, have also responded to reported hate incidents.

Critics say those at the very top have made things worse - both President Donald Trump, and Democratic hopeful Joe Biden have been accused of fuelling anti-Asian sentiment to varying degrees with language they've used while talking about China's role in the outbreak.



Statistics on Anti-Asian incidents in the US:

• One third of people surveyed said they had witnessed someone blaming Asian people for the pandemic
• 1,710 incidents reported to STOP AAPI HATE
• 15% of those cases involved physical assault or being coughed on or spat at
• More than 100 individual incidents reported in the media
• 133 incidents of anti-Asian discrimination recorded by the New York City Commission on Human Rights - compared to 11 in the same period last year. The commission has intervened in 91 cases.
• 14 Asian-bias hate crimes investigated by police in New York
• More than 100 alleged hate incidents reported to civic groups and police departments in Los Angeles
• Six reports of bias incidents reported to police in Seattle
• There has been a surge in anti-Asian hate on extremist web communities
