The death toll from the novel coronavirus pandemic in Brazil appears to be climbing in direct proportion to the popularity of President Jair Bolsonaro.
Business Insider reports that in December of 2019, when Brazil had not a single case of COVID-19, Bolsonaro was polling at 29%.
But in late September, he hit an all-time high approval rating, with 40% of Brazilians regarding him as 'good/excellent.'
Bolsonaro has been criticized for underestimating the virus and his government is accused of covering up the real death toll.
His secret to political survival may be an emergency scheme launched in April, subsidizing tens of millions with cash payments of up to $217 per month.
