      Catastrophic— over 4000 #COVID19 deaths a day in Brazil—equivalent to over 6000/day in US (never reached). "It's a nuclear reactor that has set off a chain reaction and is out of control. It's a biological Fukushima," says @MiguelNicolelis. I agree. 🧵 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/covid-deaths-reach-4-000-day-brazil-bringing-hospitals-breaking-n1263269 …pic.twitter.com/2ngi897wKJ

      2) I said the same thing to @TheInterceptBr last week... “Brazil is like a Fukushima, if can put the whole world at risk”.https://theintercept.com/2021/04/05/entrevista-brasil-e-como-fukushima-risco-mundo/ …

      3) Bolsonaro is still digging in his heels dismissing science and peddling conspiracy theories.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1379904674195771396 …

      Disgusting—While Brazil 🇧🇷 had 4000+ #COVID19 deaths yesterday, Bolsonaro today decided to bash LGBT on HIV, claims there’s no vaccine for all the world, none in Africa (false—many vaccine trials done in 🇿🇦), & continues to push unproven drug therapies. #Sosbrazil #Sosbrasil https://twitter.com/SamPancher/status/1379804941422891009 …

      4) Brazil #COVID19 mortality is one of the fastest surging in the world. It doesn’t have enough vaccines either. Many states like Rio de Janeiro have run out according to reports. And most of Brazil’s vaccines won’t arrive until June. Worse— Bolsonaro has demanded no lockdowns.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1378232936399577088 …

      Let this sink in—over **half of all intubated young adults** on ventilators now dies from #COVID19 in Brazil 🇧🇷. What’s odds last spring 2020? 1 in 3. That is likely an effect of #P1 variant—not just ICU capacity because March 2021 wasn’t included yet. 🧵 (HT @terrence_mccoy) pic.twitter.com/mHY5Vfqu0i

      Replying to @jbakcoleman @DrEricDing

      You mean we can’t just eyeball rates between earlier times and the current hospital collapse and likely higher transmissibility just like that to confidently figure out severity or severity by age?pic.twitter.com/QATcoSIGCt
