Believe it or not,  the "upper crust" are the ones who brought it to us.  Here in Manaus, our first cases were rich people returning from foreign travel, and the first neighborhoods hit were the richest ones in town.  I think that goes for several major cities.
It got more democratic pretty quickly, though.

He might as well:  their relationship couldn't get much worse.  Bolsonaro was slamming the Supremes again at today's demonstration  (no mask, of course), and he had to have already known.

Who wants to go to the #1 Hot Spot, I am happy being #2, for we are gaining on #1 and surely will surpass the USA finally getting 1st place Gold and the trophy...

so it's like being in two places at one time...

What a Royal Hot Mess, the debacle here couldn't be avoided Viruses don't discriminate, yet with proper sane leadership it could have been  controlled and  handled better, it's like your walking in a tunnel and you see light and as James would say "It's a Freight Train"....

someone needs to be tied to the tracks.....

This will be accountable,  can't sweep poop under carpet and not expect it to smell.....

Thanks Mugtech and  Big Howdy Tex....all is good...Holiday here Monday 25-26......

Happy Memorial Day.....Do something Exciting...like stay home, barbeque and have a beer or shot on me.....Be Safe ..

Thanks Grizz. I and honoring those today. Have ribbed the ribs yesterday and will smoke 6 hours today.

Paraguay will open stores (for PY residence) today. We will see, but since 95% of sales are from BR it will be rough. BR remains close until June 22 and with the US$ being high CdE states it will be hard to pay the electric bills because many prices in CdE are based on the US$.
Smuggling remains at a high level. $250,000.00 US$. 70,000 cigarettes', 900 kg of pot (with gun fire by PY navy and smugglers) in the last 4 days.
Foz has 200 openings for Municipal Police, if interested?

As a "Guarda Municipal" they probably require you to be a natural born citizen just like the president or
the officers of the armed forces to take care of the security of the nation.

Simple recipe I opted for! Just salt and a nice juicy picanha over really, really hot coals...

when really necessary. Be safe all!

Today's Estadão is saying that the real is the weakest currency among its peers, and that international banks view real-denominated assets as toxic because of mismanagement of the pandemic, the economy, and the environment.   Some are predicting a rally by the end of the year, but that's pretty late to keep the lights on in CdE. 

Good luck filling those police jobs.  They may have to loosen their standards:   gang infiltration of the force is a real danger, with that number of vacancies in the middle of a crisis.

Yeah, I can imagine that moving almost a ton of pot might attract some attention when nothing else is moving, even in Paraguay.   

Yeah the pot was on the PY river bank and got spotted and short fire fight. All the rest were in trucks or on the driver.
Man it got cold last night and set me back on smoking. Have to watch it now.

Majority will be serving in the "health police"! They have open some dining with 50% of what normal was. As I mention I was out last week and saw too many w/o masks and chatting side x side.

I would prefer the Ivermectin than the hydroxychloroquine...

Ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2:

https://news.yahoo.com/brazil-leads-dai … 24763.html

COVID-19 deaths and confirmed cases of all Brazilian states with São Paulo leading the number of deaths to 4,501 with 7.71% lethality rate and Rio de Janeiro the second place with 2,438 dead and with 12.20% lethality rate :

Principal models used by the white house to monitor and project deaths by COVID-19 is extrapolating the total dead in Brazil to 125,000 by August!

Projections show daily deaths should peak the 13th of July with 1,526 dead in 24 hours...

If no changes are done to COVID-19 policies, the University of Washington again confirmed deaths to 125,000 by August:

But if we have lockdowns for a few more months, the economy will be in ruins; hyperinflation could ensue with a new currency later equally 1:1 to the dollar - that is catastrophic to US retirees here especially those receiving a one income SS pension (those that arrived early). Could pay rent only and very little or nothing for food!

Hi Robal, going off-topic, have you heard of this guy?

https://www.expat.com/forum/profile.php … mp;lang=en

I wonder if he is legit.

No. First time to see his name. The name is kinda "complex." Why are you asking?

robal wrote:

Well, he says that his name is actually Mr. Stewart and that he has a business proposition.  Supposedly he is in Brazil.

Well, it's not that easy if you don't know who your business partner is. I was offered a partnership twice but I don't want to be an active participant in running a business at this
time.

You're a business consultant, so you're very
qualified.

Ron, I could not see any business here right now.
I get a few and i reject or sometimes just block.
Maybe a KFC but not now or at my age relying on others to manage such.

Well, I guess I will give the guy a shot, very carefully.
