COVID-19 Ravages Brazil

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is facing total calamity, with the country's death toll at over 275,000 and nearly all ICUs at peak capacity. Luiz Henrique Mandetta was Brazil's health minister until he was fired by Bolsonaro at the height of the country's first wave. He joins the show from Sao Paulo to discuss how it all went so wrong, and where Brazil goes from here.
