When questioned by journalists about the fact that Brazil had surpassed China in the number of deaths due to the new coronavirus, President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) was arrogant: “So what? Sorry, what do you want me to do? I am the Messiah, but I don't do miracles”.
Civilizing society was in a state of perplexity with the statement made by the head of state, who should have shown minimal solidarity, but Bolsonaro continued to be what he always was: a man who is not afraid to say what he thinks.
The big problem with this attitude is not just about saying what you think, but because you say what you think, since he is in charge of a very important position. But anyone who follows the president knows that his way of speaking is old, he didn't change like that out of nowhere.
"And? Sorry, what do you want me to do? I am Messiah, but I don't do miracles.
The “so what” statement entered as one of the more viral terms of the internet in recent months. Many opponents of his government now use the term “so what” to refer to any action that goes wrong under his government.
Today's deaths, at first, were of people infected two weeks ago. That's what I say to you. Unfortunately the virus will reach 70% of the population. It's reality. Deaths no one denied that there would be,” he said.
Estado de Minas listed some occasions when the chief executive used his middle name — his name is Jair Messias Bolsonaro — to say he is not a miracle worker. BBC Brasil, in turn, listed other situations in which Bolsonaro made use of “So what?” to address controversial issues.
This Tuesday, when commenting on the deaths from COVID-19 recorded on Brazilian soil, the president insinuated that he can do nothing about the increase in the number of casualties.
