Brazil Stops Publishing New Coronavirus Data as Death Toll Mounts
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The government of far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has
stopped publishing new reported coronavirus deaths and infections.
Brazil's health minister on Friday took down a website that had
published daily, weekly and monthly numbers of COVID-19 cases and
deaths. When the website went live again Saturday, the total numbers of
infections for states and the entire country were missing. Brazil
recently overtook Italy as the country with the third-highest COVID-19
death toll.
