Brasilia, Oct 15 (EFE) .- An association of victims Friday placed 600 white flags in front of the Brazilian Congress, in Brasilia, in memory of the more than 600,000 Covid-19 related deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.The symbolic act was organized by the Association of Victims and Family Members of Covid Victims (Avico), created in April this year with the aim of putting pressure on the Government of President Jair Bolsonaro, who has consistently diminished the seriousness of the health crisis.(Camera: ALEX MIRKHAN)SHOT LIST: WHITE FLAGS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE BRAZILIAN CONGRESS IN BRASILIA, BRAZIL. SOUND BITES:Antonieta Alves, volunteer:"This act represents a large part of the pain of each of these families and our outrage at the government's contempt for these victims, because today 600,000 have been trivialized. 600,000 no longer means anything, you know? It's as if we hadn't started to die. The government does not take things into consideration and the people trivialize these 600 thousand. The families that lost their relatives and friends felt it. We feel that each one of these exceeds 600 thousand. "Carla Marcia Davi, volunteer:"We could have a health (policy) that would reduce deaths in the country, but unfortunately our government is negligent, it does not contribute with vaccines, to our public health. We are in a very difficult moment in our country, of mourning, abandonment and total poverty. "
