Brazil Hits 1,000+ Daily Deaths — Bolsonaro Remains Defiant

| COVID-19

Brazil records over 1,000 COVID-19 deaths in a single day for the first time. President Bolsonaro dismisses the virus as 'a little flu,' opposes lockdowns, and attends anti-lockdown rallies maskless. Brazil becomes the second country after the U.S. to reach 1,000 daily deaths. The crisis fuels impeachment calls.
