It’s official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There’s already reports of power outages. People can’t work. They can’t run errands. They can barely sleep. It’s not even summer there yet.

How the fuck did this article go from heat in Brazil to long covid research without any fucking bridge 🥲

I mean, I somewhat agree with the points its making and I’m heavily doubting the validity. When someone is not willing to further their own confirmation bias you really need to start asking questions.

Seems like a load of bullshit. This is the only article about it, and it’s from… okdoomer.io?

Lol. Where are the mods?

Oh. This is the smaller world news. My bad.

All hail market capitalism!

Turns out muh free market IS the solution to all human crises.

Can’t have human crises without humans, after all.

Winter in Brazil if from june to september, but honestly though it feels like there is one or two weeks of cold and the rest is just as hot as any day. I remember a year where I didn’t wear long sleeved shirts or coats at all.

Southern Hemisphere. It’s late spring there.

A lot of Brazil is in the tropics, so no, not winter kinda latitudes.

But Brazil also extends to something like 33° South, where winter starts in June.
