Brazil needs to prepared to counteract the big pandemic. Millions of old folks alive is VERY NEW to mankind. Longevity is a modern trait of societies. Therefore, the viruses of the past, before longevity became normal in (due to science and better education), could not have lots of weakened immune system to attack and play their survival games. As the northern regions -specially Eurasia that stretches East and West, becomes overwhelmingly older there will be center of gravity for pandemic.

Brazil to check arrivals from Philippines, Italy, France, Germany for COVID-19 symptoms BRASILIA - Brazil has added an extra nine countries to its coronavirus (COVID-19) alert list, including the Philippines, Italy, France and Germany, a spokesman for the Health Ministry said on Monday. The measure means passengers entering Brazil from these countries showing coronavirus symptoms, such as fever or coughing, will be placed under suspicion and potentially be subject to medical tests upon arrival. It is the first time European countries have been put on the list, as the death toll in Italy climbed to seven and several Middle East countries dealt with their first infections. Wanderson Oliveira, the health ministry's secretary of Health Surveillance, said that in addition to the above-mentioned countries, the following were also added, bringing the total to 16: Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Iran and United Arab Emirates. —Reuters gmanetwork.com

Brazil's Minister of Health declared that the health authorities assess the behavior of viruses during the (Southern Hemisphere) summer, where countries experience higher temperatures than in China's winter. "Now we are going to see how this virus will behave in a tropical country, in the middle of summer," said the minister. With the confirmation, Brazil becomes the first country in Latin America to notify the disease. In addition to this case, Brazil has other suspects. In all cases, these are patients who have been traveling from Italy in the last few days

A Chinese official tasked with promoting ties of “friendship” between Beijing and Brazil was arrested this weekend on suspicion of stealing 15,000 test kits and millions of sets of protective gear, Brazil’s Estadão newspaper reported. Estadão gained exclusive access to the investigations that led to Zheng’s arrest and found that he would profit by up to 5000 percent from selling the products on the black market. Prosecutors reportedly claim that he successfully seized the cargo on April 2 following the arrival of a Qatar Airways flight at Guarulhos International Airport carrying 57 packages of rapid coronavirus testing kits imported from China by a company contracted by hospitals to supply the items breitbart.com ‘Shanghai Association in Brazil’ VP Charged with Stealing $3 Million of Coronavirus Supplies 70Palácio dos Bandeirantes BEN KEW13 Apr 202030 A Chinese official tasked with promoting ties of “friendship” between Beijing and Brazil was arrested this weekend on suspicion of stealing 15,000 test kits and millions of sets of protective gear, Brazil’s Estadão newspaper reported. Zheng Xiao Yun, otherwise known as Marcos Zheng, reportedly serves as the President of the Shanghai Association in Brazil, where he regularly mediates meetings between Chinese bankers and businessmen and Brazilian politicians. Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, Zheng has also reportedly mediated meetings between hospitals in São Paulo and doctors in Wuhan to help exchange information on the virus, which has already killed 1,270 people in Brazil and infected nearly 23,000. On Saturday, police raided the offices of the Shanghai Association in Brazil, where Zheng also serves as president. Police reportedly found thousands of tests and millions of personal protective gear kits, most of which match cargo recently stolen at Sao Paulo airport. Police also reportedly encountered his bodyguards, a former military policeman and a sergeant in the Brazilian Army Reserve, who were both armed with rifles. Zheng has maintained they are necessary because he has previously been robbed, kidnapped, and even spent five days in captivity, Estadao reported. Upon his arrest, Zheng reportedly insisted that he had no knowledge of owning such products and that he was involved in selling sound equipment. His version of events reportedly failed to convince the Public Ministry and the Justice, where a judge remarked upon his “audacity” consequently ordered his indefinite imprisonment. Estadão gained exclusive access to the investigations that led to Zheng’s arrest and found that he would profit by up to 5000 percent from selling the products on the black market. Prosecutors reportedly claim that he successfully seized the cargo on April 2 following the arrival of a Qatar Airways flight at Guarulhos International Airport carrying 57 packages of rapid coronavirus testing kits imported from China by a company contracted by hospitals to supply the items. The association testified to his character, describing him as a “good citizen who has made a significant contribution to establishing the bond of friendship between Brazil and China.” The incident will likely raise further questions about Chinese influence in Brazil, an issue that President Jair Bolsonaro campaigned on during the 2018 election, but has done little to mitigate since. On a visit to China last year, Bolsonaro declared last year that “Brazil needs China” after signing eight new trade agreements. Last week, tensions flared after the Brazilian Minister of Education Abraham Weintraub mocked Chinese accents in Portuguese and accused Beijing of being on a quest for “world domination.” He then refused to apologize, saying he would only offer an apology if Beijing offered to sell 1,000 respirators to Brazil. Communist state media has previously published articles dismissing Brazilian culture as too inferior to the Chinese to be viable for industry, although “it may sound racist.” Follow Ben Kew on Facebook, Twitter at @ben_kew, or email him at bkew@breitbart.com.
