Where Covid Kills the Young: Brazil Shows What May Await Others Bloomberg 2 hrs ago Andrew Rosati, Martha Beck and Simone Iglesias (Bloomberg) -- Rodolpho Sousa, a 28-year-old Brazilian lawyer, had been working from home near Rio de Janeiro when, in late February, one of his clients was jailed. Covid was hitting the prison and he was worried about her, less about himself. He went there to get her out. His cough started a few days later and wouldn’t quit. He went to an emergency clinic where, his lungs down to half their capacity, he was diagnosed with Covid. In the two days he waited for a hospital transfer, he was witness to an infernal scene -- patients his age dying on either side of him.
