The sudden resignation of Nelson Teich was announced in a\ncurt WhatsApp message from the health ministry on Friday morning, and is likely\nto deepen the turmoil around Brazil\u2019s flailing response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teich was Brazil\u2019s second health minister to leave office in\nless than a month. His popular predecessor, Luiz Mandetta, was fired by he\ncountry\u2019s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro,on 16 April following\ndisagreements over social isolation measures, which Bolsonaro has dismissed as\nunnecessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">News of Teich\u2019s resignation was greeted with dismay by\ndoctors fighting the virus. Albert Ko, a professor of epidemiology at the Yale\nSchool of Medicine blamed \u201cthe lack of leadership and poor governance\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo lose two health ministers will really have a dramatic\nimpact on the country\u2019s ability to contest the epidemic,\u201d said Ko, who has\nextensive experience working in Brazil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-attachment-id=\"1520\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/17\/brazil-loses-second-health-minister-in-less-than-a-month-as-covid-19-deaths-rise\/mfile_1526484_1_l_20200516014032\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?fit=1280%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mfile_1526484_1_L_20200516014032.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a short televised statement to reporters on Friday\nafternoon, Teich did not explain his reasons for leaving \u2013 nor did he answer\nany questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLife is made of choices and today I chose to leave,\u201d he\nsaid. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to be at the front of a ministry like this at such a\ndifficult period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On taking office, Teich initially appeared to follow\nBolsonaro\u2019s line, arguing that bolstering Brazil\u2019s economy was as important as\ncontrolling the pandemic\u2019s growing death toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in recent weeks Teich had increasingly disagreed with\nBolsonaro over social isolation and the use of the malaria drug chloroquine to\ntreat coronavirus. The Brazilian president has enthusiastically backed using\nthe drug, despite a string of medical studies showing that it has no positive\neffect on people suffering Covid-19, and can possibly cause other health\ncomplications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday Bolsonaro announced that he wanted to change the\nprotocol regulating the use of chloroquine that Mandetta had introduced. Teich\nwas publicly embarrassed on Monday when he discovered during a press conference\nthat the president had issued a decree that classified gyms, beauty salons and\nbarbers as essential services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-attachment-id=\"1521\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/17\/brazil-loses-second-health-minister-in-less-than-a-month-as-covid-19-deaths-rise\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articlelarge\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge.jpg?fit=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/merlin_171680100_ec8d64d6-4af2-48a7-bc5d-3af2f5e81c50-articleLarge.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was not our role, it was the president\u2019s decision,\u201d he\nsaid, looking flummoxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Teich stood down, his predecessor, Mandetta, tweeted:\n\u201cLet\u2019s pray.\u201d In an interview for the Estado de S Paulo newspaper, Mandetta\ndescribed Teich\u2019s short tenure as \u201ca lost month, thrown in the garbage bin\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brazil reported 844 new deaths in 24 hours on Thursday\nnight, taking the total to 13,993 and it now has 202,918 cases, making it the\nworld\u2019s sixth most affected country, according to Johns Hopkins University\nfigures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nelson Teich\u2019s resignation was announced in message from health ministry after Bolsonaro sacked Luiz Mandetta in April By Dom Phillips Brazil\u2019s health minister has abruptly resigned after less than a month on the job \u2013&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[378,404,405],"class_list":["post-1518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","tag-brazil","tag-covid-19-deaths","tag-health-minister"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
