Crowded subways and teeming markets in Brazil as world watches on in horror
Almost one year after Brazil recorded its first Covid-19 death, the country is enduring its deadliest moment of the pandemic to date. But despite the record 1,910 new deaths recorded on Wednesday, life in Brazil's major cities largely continues as normal. On Praça da República square in downtown São Paulo, the scene of commuters coming and going in Brazil's biggest city harks back to pre-pandemic times. The square's roaring street trade remains largely unaffected. The difference being that, alongside sweets and phone cases, most kerbside sellers now offer flimsy facemasks and hand sanitizer. Antônio is one such merchant. When the pandemic struck, he began hawking assorted face coverings alongside his usual selection of beach towels and swimwear at his stall in downtown São Paulo. "There aren't as many people as there were before the pandemic, but I still sell plenty", he explains. "I guess people are still going to the beach." Covid-19 has claimed the lives of over 260,000 Brazilians and the current wave of infections is the worst yet. Average daily deaths in the country have remained above 1,000 for almost six straight weeks.

The professional organization with more than 431,000 members wants the IRS to move the tax deadline to June 15.
