ブラジルでは、だいぶ死者数と死亡率が進んでしまったようで

　3月11日の段階で、一日当たり2000人の死亡者を見ており、死亡の割合は10万人あたり128名。これは英国の188名やチェコの208名にはおよばぬものの、世界最悪ランクではあり―1.3％はちょっとおっきいな。

「Brazil has exceeded 2,000 Covid-related deaths in a single day for the first time, as infection rates soar.」

「Mr Bolsonaro has downplayed the threat from the virus. Earlier this week he told people to "stop whining".

On Wednesday, the country recorded 79,876 new cases, the third highest number in a single day. The total number of Covid-related deaths reached 270,656, according to Johns Hopkins University in the US.」

「It means Brazil has a rate of 128 deaths per 100,000 population - 11th highest amongst 20 of the worst affected countries in the world. The highest rates are in the Czech Republic with 208 deaths per 100,000 people and the UK with 188 deaths per 100,000 people, Johns Hopkin's figures suggest.」

　大統領の対応は遅きに過ぎるというもののようで―もうちょっと接触を控えさせればいいのに―こうまで猛烈に感染していては、国じゅういっこの実験室の如きものだとか、なんとか。批判される様子。

「Scientists are concerned that Brazil has almost become a "natural laboratory" - where people can see what happens when coronavirus goes relatively unchecked.

Some warn the country is now a breeding ground for new variants of the virus, unhindered by effective social distancing and fuelled by vaccine shortages.」
