To Brazil now, where a record number of Covid deaths – more than 3,700 – were reported yesterday, leaving large parts of its health system now close to collapse.
Brazil’s total death toll is now only second to the United States.

But Brazil’s political failings in treating Covid could become a problem for all of us if the country keeps producing new variants.
