brazil now the response to the outbreak is being complicated by a conflict between president federal government and the states of brazil regional leaders are in forcing walked against the wishes of the president hospitals are struggling to cope with the large numbers of patients and undertakers they are struggling to bury the dead. undertakers from the public burial service and now start their day there on their way to pick up the body of a 41 year old man who is believed to have died of covert 19 right now they're working around the clock to provide burials for brazil's many disadvantaged people the family of the deceased man silva panicked when they found his body in the bathroom his brother is still in shock buggier was diabetic he died after a short severe illness with symptoms of kovac 19. yes condition worsened
10:12 pm
within 3 days passed away at 7 o'clock this morning. what did he die of saying he would suddenly he couldn't breathe anymore because the. family is convinced that he died of this new virus as they call it covert 19 their own rage because they think he should have survived. i think if it still be alive if there had been a bed in the intensive care unit for him we would have brought him to the hospital but it's best that he died at home and there was. a constant stream of mourners arrived at the coronavirus section of the cemetery and my analysis there is little time to bid farewell victims of cope and 19 are transported to the final resting place shortly after they pass away 5 coffins that once the bodies must be buried quickly there's no time for ceremonies more than 4 times as many people are being buried in manassas usual up to 120 a day. among them are while sorice is

a grandmother the hospital was unable to treat her. it is that of patty day i don't blame the doctors it's the governess fault the hospital where my grandmother was had only one ventilator walk but it didn't show up so the health care system in manassas has been overwhelmed for weeks now there are not enough ventilators dead bodies are being stored in refrigerated containers at the same time many brazilians stand close to each other as they line up to claim their coronavirus aid a one time grant of the equivalent of $300.00 euros many are angry at the government because the payments have been delayed more the more we need to see it so we can pay our bills and the baby food. bank park president says it's just a little blue these words are deadly president wasn't elected to spread this idiocy
10:14 pm
he's tearing the brazilian people apart. the brazilian president was slow to respond to the pandemic and has continued to play down the virus to the stain and once he is the bird who filed that report he joins me now from rio de janeiro he is it's good to see you let's pick up where your story left off with joy you've also noddle how is the brazilian president how is he still denying that clip at 19 is a major problem as the death toll in the country continues decline have a secular problem because when on sunday last sunday the death toll passed the number of 10000 boats nora was and in the same day going out for a ride on a jet ski so he shows a little compassion in this crisis and his crisis management is really poor his federal administration and acted too late and in order to provide long winded agers to the owner of regions for example the man known as region and the president he's
10:15 pm
also gotten a lot of pushback from state governors i mean some of them they've been openly defying his orders haven't. they are former alleys and now they're struggling and the struggle is going on until today for example yesterday was an hour wanted to reopen barber shops and fitness center he ordered this and the governor's immediately blocked and stopped this order so the stops us still closed but this struggle all in all it reduces brazil's power in order to fight the virus crisis and what's the sense that you got in the amazon region where you were the people there do they feel like basically they've been just left to fend for themselves and to fight against this virus alone. most people are criticizing bolton are for his attitude but there are also many who want
10:16 pm
to go back to work because they feel the social crisis coming and all the noise can say that most of the people there they were really angry about local and regional politicians because they blame them of corruption and corrupt methods so the people are really not in a good mood and it's becoming worse with every day the rights movie is a verjee reporting tonight from rio de janeiro but yes thank you for here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world chile's government has ordered a total walk down of the capital's onto jago after a spike in corona virus cases infections jumped by 60 percent in just 24 hours the vast majority of cases in chile are in santiago facebook has agreed to pay more than $50000000.00 u.s. dollars to constant moderators who have developed mental health problems on the job affected employees will each get up to $50000.00 for treatment costs constant
