Sao Paulo (CNN) – Last week, Brazil saw its deadliest day since the beginning of the pandemic, with 4,195 people killed in just 24 hours. The state of Sao Paulo and the city of Rio de Janeiro are located among the peers of the country by deaths by covid-19. Without embarrassment, both tenants planned to remove the restrictions on movement from this moon.
Sao Paulo recovers state schools, sporting events and construction tents. Rio de Janeiro allows vuelvan bars and restaurants to operate, revoking March’s vigilantes.
The authorities in Sao Paulo justify the repatriation in Spain that the cases of occupation in the intensive care units in the state have taken place from the crisis level of 90.5% to 88.6%. “This is a clear demonstration that the effort made in the last few weeks will be accompanied by results,” said Deputy Governor Rodrigo García at a press conference on April 9.
Peru the diary figures followed by many sombrias: only the fires, the state registered more than 20,000 new cases.
Mientras tanto, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the occupancy rates of the Intensive Care Units (UCI) are superior to 92%. Without embarrassment, Alcalde Eduardo Paes has decided to lift the restrictions. “This is a response for those who think that the restrictions do not serve to avoid parties and agglomerations. Our reality does not allow the confinement », said Paes in a row of celebrations celebrating the fours, adding that the merchants and the general public suffer financially from such talks. Aún así, dijo: «Este no es momento para relajarse».
Aliviar the restrictions are the opposition to what many institutions and medical specialists say that Brazil needs: a national and coordinated confinement. At the moment, Brazil alone has completely vacated 2.8% of its population, up to 6 million people, in a country of 210 million.
Currently, Brazil’s public and private health care systems are under enormous pressure, with the UCI at least 17 states with more than 90% occupancy. Intubation and oxygen medication were repeated several times during the pandemic. The Jueves, the National Council of Municipal Secretaries of Health, has declared that a fifth part of all the cities of the institute will be closed without the risk of medical oxygen during the next ten days.
Only a conviction can be avoided that April is “including peor” that in March, the most fatal of the pandemic in recent times, with 66,573 registered deaths, according to the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), a public biomedical research center with the AstraZeneca car manufacturer.
“The confinements are an emergency remedy, but they are absolutely necessary in times of crisis and collapse of the health care system as it will pave the way now.” Only this will prevent more deaths and will save effective ways, “Fiocruz wrote in a recent article.
The Office of the United Nations in Brazil has also announced that the country will impose restrictions on movement and has announced that an accelerated mortality rate and the auspices of a nationally coordinated plan is “leading to a catastrophe”.
Brazil has never held a real confinement
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Brazil has seen a mosaic of local restrictions on the activity or activity, but it will never be an effective general confinement, says CNN’s neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis.
Nicolelis, a Brazilian scientific detachment, created one of the first scientific committees of the country to study coronavirus and develop tactics to counteract the disease, and has assessed regional covid-19 strategies. He and other medical experts and civil society groups are part of the “April for Life” campaign in Brazil, which is helping the federal government to impose an immediate national confinement.
“The confinement is when the flow of people is restricted: calls, carriages, flights, in addition to hosting a restricted social Islam. I have never had a lot of work in Brazil, only we have some exceptions », says Nicolelis. “In general, we need the application of some restrictive media with low levels of adherence on the part of the people.”
“April for Life” is estimated to have a national strike lasting 30 days, with strict rules regarding the movement of people, it will save 22,000 lives.
“If there are Brazilian curves in Rio de Janeiro and including in Sao Paulo, there are peaks and valleys. Deathly Hallows, Luego sometimes has some things and a little bit of it, but the thing is not sustainable. In the end, the transmission of the efficient way virus will not take place, so we will create an environment for new variants to be introduced, “said Nicolelis.
It is said that Brazil needs a federal mayor, a accelerated deployment of vacancies and a national tax burden on the federal government in which only the essential services and the Mayor of the Movements are prohibited.
“The virus is a collective organism, and only it is possible to fight it collectively. No one will be able to find a job if we want to keep the rest open, we need a coordinated action, on the contrary, the virus will continue to grow “, he said.
Without embarrassment, the Brazilian authorities were reluctant to adopt their means to contain the virus. The federal governor, co-sponsored by President Jair Bolsonaro, has shown a fierce opposition to the imposition of restrictions, on preoccupations with the economy.
“Whoever closed the markets and shops and obliged the people to quarantine at home, did not leave him,” said Bolsonaro on Saturday, during a visit to the periphery of Brazil, referring to the alcaldas and governors who adopted restrictive measures .
“I have the power to make a document to decree a confinement in all peace, but it is not here and our decision will not go to the callers and impresses that the people are in the house,” the president said without a mask.
His recently appointed Minister of Health, Marcelo Queiroga, also came up with the idea. “The order (of the president) is to avoid confinement,” said Queiroga on April 3.
The local confinements have worked
In the three hours of Sao Paulo, Edinho Silva is one of the hottest pocos from Brazil who has been against it.
Imposing a total confinement on the city of Araraquara, closing the store, including supermarkets and public transport, and banning the circulation of people for 10 days in February, a decision that provokes death threats in return.
Dio the dramatic step despised to see that hospitals in the city oriented to the agro-industry comenzaban to llenarse. The population of 250,000 residents was first in the state of Sao Paulo in collapsing its health system after the loss of new cases of covid-19, which obliged to transfer the serious cases of the UCI abarrotadas to other cities.
“(Confinar) made a decision that required victims, especially of the small and median emperors, because it could not be financed for them in Brazil. Pero con la curva de contagio que teníamos, no había nada stri hacer », dijo Silva.
Poco, however, commenced to receive death threats from Bolsaro’s supporters, Silva said on CNN. «¿Alguien sabe dónde vive el alcalde Edinho? Solo quiero una ronda (de pelea) con él. Luego lo voy a apuñalar de abajo hacia arriba », dijo un hombre en las redes sociales, según Silva. The police are now investigating the charges.
Pesar de los riesgos personales, elfoque stritico de Silva parece haber functioning.
From the final of the 10 days, some restrictions are imposed on the city, including a night shift from 9 pm to 5 am and a limited time limit for bars and restaurants, and the number of cases and deaths by covid-19 of Araraquara has been constantly declining.
During the three consecutive days of the past week, Araraquara has not registered deaths due to covid-19. It is a sign of hope, but it is located in the middle of the accelerated coronavirus crisis in Brazil.
“The confinement is not an election, it imposes reality,” Dice Silva. «Si no lo adoptas, apilarás ataúdes, no hay otra forma».
