In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Brazil is experiencing a very serious problem (not to say catastrophic): the underreporting of cases and deaths due to Covid-19. Even so, there are still some people who insist, usually with based on fake news, that there is an “overreporting” of cases in the country. The newest “story” involves the governor of Bahia, Rui Costa (PT), and the mayor of Porto Insurance, Cláudia Oliveira (PSD). A video shows a dialogue between the two in which Rui Costa explains how many ICU beds would be needed to care for patients with Covid-19. He speaks that 10 ICU beds would be occupied with 200 active cases of the disease. The video is accompanied by a complaint that Rui Costa had “requested” 200 cases of coronavirus to obtain federal resources. Read the message circulating online and watch the video: Governor Rui Costa PT/BA asks the mayor of Porto Seguro, Cláudia Oliveira from PSD, urgently find 200 cases of Coronavirus to place in statistics to ask the federal government for money. The images speak for Yes, and there are still idiots who come to my profile to defend these people > ## Ancelmo Gois wrote a text criticizing Eduardo Paes? We check ## Rui Costa, governor of Bahia, asked the mayor of Porto Seguro to invent 200 cases of coronavirus? There was no shortage of people criticizing the Bahia governor's measure. But Could it be that Rui Costa asked the mayor of Porto Seguro to “invent” 200 coronavirus cases to “get money from the federal government”? The answer is no. Don't worry, we'll explain everything to you. As we said at the beginning of the text, this type of fake news (so and so is inventing cases of Covid-19 to extract money from the government) has been recurring on the internet. We have already denied fake news about complaints in São Paulo, Pernambuco, Ceará and Amazonas. In all cases, the complaint made no sense. Today is no different. If you analyze the content of the video you will realize that it has nothing to do with see with the message. In the footage, the governor asks about the amount of cases of Covid-19 in Porto Seguro (BA). The mayor responds that there are six cases active in the city (among 17 in total). Then Rui Costa says that 10 ICU beds is enough to cover 200 active cases of the disease. Then he says that this number is calculated based on the information that 5% of patients need ICU. And he says that, if the contamination is “safe” (with social isolation), 10 beds in Porto Seguro and “10 or 20” beds in Teixeira de Freitas would be enough. The governor warns, however, that if the social isolation is relaxed, “not even 200 beds will be enough”. Finally, the mayor explains the isolation measures in the city. At no point does he say the city needs to “invent” or “get” 200 coronavirus cases in the city to get more government resources federal. Furthermore, Rui Costa himself denied the information in a live published by the government of Bahia itself and republished on the YouTube channel of Grande Bahia newspaper. He confirmed that the video was recorded during a meeting with 12 mayors from the southern region of the state, pointed out that the video has “nothing more” and that he is prosecuting those who create this type of false material. In short: the story that indicates that the governor of Bahia Rui Costa asked for the mayor of Porto Seguro to invent 200 cases of Covid-19 to achieve federal funding is fake. The footage does not match what is written in the caption and the nonsense has already been denied. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
