In the latest episode of our Explaining Brazil podcast, editor-in-chief Gustavo Ribeiro and editor Euan Marshall talk about the rupture between President Jair Bolsonaro and Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mandetta — who disagree on pretty much everything about the Covid-19 crisis, from social isolation measures to the importance of hydroxychloroquine as treatment.
On Monday, the president came just shy of sacking the head of the country’s public healthcare system amid the worst pandemic of a lifetime. Listen to the episode to understand what led the government to a crisis — and what to expect from now on.
