"Young dealers, not state medical personnel, are the ones encouraging measures against coronavirus in the favela."
It is quite notable that the 3 worst hit countries - US, Brazil, Russia - are lead by the populist regimes, ie. governments using propaganda as the main tool which is naturally not an effective tool against an infectious virus. As the saying goes "these days in Russia when people die it is from pneumonia, and when people recover it is from coronavirus" (in Russia there is a criminal penalty specifically for coronavirus misinformation, which basically means any mismatch with the official info)
