Third pandemic wave hits as Brazil surpasses half million Covid-19 deaths

Description

Brazil on Saturday became the second country after the United States to surpass 500,000 Covid-19 deaths as the South American giant grapples with a third wave of the pandemic.

FRANCE 24's Douglas Herbert gives us his analysis.
