Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro angers Brazilians by firing popular health minister, Luiz Henrique Mandetta

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro talks with Brazil's Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique Mandetta, during a ceremony to launch the program"Doctors in Brazil" at the Planalto Palace in Brasilia, Brazil, August 1, 2019.

His dismissal comes as experts say the peak of the new coronavirus outbreak in Brazil is expected in the coming weeks. “Life is priceless, but the economy and employment need to return to normality,” Bolsonaro said at a press conference on Thursday. He also said he would neither condemn nor criticise Mandetta. “It was a consensual divorce because more important than me and more important than him as a minister is the health of the Brazilian people.”

Bolsonaro, likewise, had convened doctors without inviting Mandetta and, in a televised interview earlier this month, said Mandetta had failed to show “humility.” A few days later, on April 5, Bolsonaro told a group of supporters that he would act against officials in his government who “are full of themselves.”

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
