Brasília (AFP) – President Jair Bolsonaro, who opposes coronavirus lockdown measures imposed by Brazilian cities and states, rallied with his supporters Sunday, as Washington said it had sent two million doses of a controversial unproven COVID-19 drug. Brazil is Latin America’s hotspot for the deadly pandemic, with nearly 500,000 confirmed cases and a death toll of nearly 28,000, the world’s fourth highest. Brazil’s health crisis has merged with a political crisis, as the far-right president has openly clashed with local authorities that insist on lockdown measures.
