Since the virus has surfaced, the Brazilian government has refused to establish a system to which they will handle Covid-19. This is leaving the health care workers to use urgent care systems to treat Covid-19 patients. Many citizens are dying due to poor care, and lack of resources. ICU beds are in high demand yet hospitals in major states like Saō Pablo. Daily, 3000 people are dying and the numbers have been rising.
