在拉美国家中，巴西所受疫情打击最为严重，是拉美乃至全球疫情的新“震中”。从2020年2月26日确诊首例新冠肺炎病例开始，新冠病毒在较短时间内迅速席卷巴西全国。截至2022年2月，巴西新冠肺炎累计确诊病例数超过2800万例，位居全球第三，仅次于美国和印度；累计死亡病例数超过了65万例，仅次于美国居全球第二。面对新冠肺炎疫情的肆虐，尽管巴西拥有时间优势和运行良好的全国统一医疗体系，却未能有效抗击新冠肺炎疫情。究其原因，博索纳罗总统不负责任的言论、行为及其领导的联邦政府在应对疫情时的疏忽、不作为极大地降低了巴西的抗疫成效。新冠肺炎疫情给巴西留下了巨大的经济和社会债务，未来巴西发展困难重重，任重道远。
Brazil has been hardest hit by the epidemic in Latin American countries and has become the new “epicenter” of the global epidemic. Since the first confirmed case of new coronavirus was found on February 26，2020，novel coronavirus has rapidly spread across Brazil in a short time. As of February 2022，the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Brazil has exceeded 28 million，ranking third in the world，second only to the United States and India；The cumulative number of deaths exceeded 650，000，ranking second in the world after the United States. In the face of the outbreak of the COVID-19，although Brazil has a time advantage and a well-functioning national unified medical system，and at the same time，the state，municipal and other local governments and the Federal Supreme Court and other government agencies actively fight the epidemic，they failed to effectively combat the COVID-19. The reason is that President Bolsonaro’s irresponsible words and actions and the negligence of the federal government in responding to the epidemic Inaction has greatly reduced the effectiveness of Brazil’s fight against the epidemic. The epidemic has left Brazil with huge economic and social debts. In the future，Brazil will face many difficulties and have a long way to go.
