Brazil may soon surpass the U.S. with the highest rate of infections — while lacking any real health leadership. Like Trump, far-right president Jair Bolsonaro first called the coronavirus a “little flu.” He rejected the WHO’s guidelines on social distancing and wearing masks, and ousted two health ministers. BT spoke with Rodrigo Durao, writer and editor with Brasil de Fato, on the situation unfolding there and the response of social movements.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.
We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
