Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has said he did not want to be “bored” with questions about the country’s coronavirus death toll, just days after Brazil became the second country in the world to surpass 600,000 fatalities.



Bolsonaro – a COVID-19 sceptic who has downplayed the severity of the virus – was surrounded by supporters at the beach in Guaruja, in Sao Paulo state, on Monday when a journalist asked him about the death toll.

“In which country did people not die? Tell me!” he responded. “Look, I didn’t come here to be bored.”

Brazil surpassed 600,000 coronavirus deaths on Friday, the country’s health ministry announced, spurring more public anger against Bolsonaro’s handling of the pandemic.

For months, the president has rejected calls to impose restrictions such as lockdowns to stem the spread of the virus, while public health officials have slammed his government for failing to quickly secure COVID-19 vaccines.

1. What a cretin.

So deep up his own ass he actually makes dim donny look like a humanitarian by comparison.

2. I'd add a new dance to the list below of the ten Brazilian dances we should know:

I call the new dance The Bolsonaro. This dance has no music and no steps. You
just lie down. And die.

The ten dances are: Samba, Jongo, Carioca Funk, Bumba Meu Boi, Forro, Carimbo,
Capoeira, Lundu, Baiao and Xote.
