The Covid-19 Death Rate in Brazil Reaches 450 Thousand Cases

The death toll from Brazil's Covid-19 surpassed 450 thousand cases on Tuesday (25/5). One of them is said to have occurred due to a delay in launching vaccinations in that country. Epidemiologists have also warned that a brutal new wave of COVID-19 could come again.
Citing AFP, Brazil's health ministry reported 2,173 deaths in the past 24 hours, bringing the official number of deaths from the coronavirus in Brazil to 452,031. The current situation is said to be quite stable with an average death rate from Covid reaching 1,854 per day during the past week. Their number fell by more than 3 thousand in mid-April.

But the number of infections has steadily increased since early May, to an average of 66,000 per day over the past week, making epidemiologists worry that the death toll will start to rise again as well.
With 215 deaths from Covid-19 per 100,000 population, Brazil is the worst-affected country in America. Brazil is also the worst affected country in the world.

Experts say the latest increase in infections is partly due to state and local governments lifting pandemic restrictions a month ago when the curve showed a slight decline.

In addition, the slow rate of vaccination has also exacerbated it. About 20 percent of Brazil's 212 million people have received their first dose of vaccine, and 9.9 percent per second. The amount is still too little to inhibit infection.

The World Health Organization has identified mutations as "attention variants", as they appeared in Brazil. Both are feared to be more dangerous than the original type.

The Indian variant has not yet been confirmed to spread locally in Brazil.

But "I think it's only a matter of time," said researcher Margareth Dalcolmo, of the leading public health institute Fiocruz.
The Indian variant is very difficult to control, he told CNN.

The Brazilian Senate has opened an investigation into why the country's Covid-19 death toll is so high. They highlighted far-right President Jair Bolsonaro's pandemic response to controversy.

Bolsonaro has controversially opposed staying at home, refusing face masks, refusing offers of vaccines and touting ineffective treatments such as the use of chloroquine.

Typhoon hits India, displaced more than one million

Heavy rain and strong winds that hit East India forced more than 1.2 million people to flee on Wednesday (26/5). This is the second time in a week that India has been hit by a hurricane, at a time when the Covid-19 wave has not yet been resolved.
Scientists say climate change is increasing ocean temperatures making cyclones more frequent with the northern part of the Indian Ocean even more severely affected.

Last week, for example, Typhoon Tante claimed around 155 people in West India. Recently, Typhoon Yaas also displaced more than 1.2 million people in the states of West Bengal and Odisha.
The Indian Meteorological Department warned that the wave heights in some areas will exceed the roofs of houses.

"We have been experiencing heavy rain and strong winds since last night. Several trees fell. The typhoon also caused power lines to be cut," said Bibhu Prasad Panda, a resident of Balasore Regency who is on the storm's route.

As a result of this storm, the West Bengal authorities ordered that the international airport in Kolkata be closed. After that, the Odisha authorities also closed the airport at Bhubaneswar.
Crash hit
Meanwhile, both West Bengal and Odisha are battling a second wave of the Coronavirus. In the past six weeks, the pandemic left more than 120,000 people dead across India.

Although masks have been distributed at emergency shelter points and officials enforcing social distancing, officials fear the resulting storm will accelerate the spread of the virus.

"This typhoon poses a double problem for millions of people in India as there is no respite from COVID-19," said Udaya Regmi, head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Meanwhile, West Bengal state Minister Bankim Chandra Hazra called this storm a devastating blow to coastal residents whose families were exposed and died from Covid-19.

"(The storm) is a devastating blow to many people in the coastal district whose families have contracted Covid-19 infection and death," Hazra said.

Hazra also said that this storm would be a big challenge in maintaining social distancing in refugee camps.

Meanwhile, officials said that Kolkata and several other vaccination center districts threatened by the storm had stopped operating. However, special operations have been carried out to ensure the supply of oxygen and medicines to the hospital.
