RE: A frightened public scares me: How empathy and fear can distort health policy
Yes, I have a Brazilian colleague at the moment that is working on the spread of fear during the Zika epidemic (which sadly looks to bounce back soon). The fear is understandable, if pregnant, however whats strange is the paranoia and conspiracy theories that have sprung up around it. Very delicate like you say.
Are you still living in Brazil? I've some friends in Sao Paulo, I really should try and make it out there sometime soon. It sounds like your countries going through some 'exciting' changes at the moment. So sorry to hear about your museum in Rio that burnt down, such an unnecessary loss.
No, I left Brazil 15 years ago. But, my whole family is still there. I am currently living in Portugal with my husband :) You would like Brazil. But, perhaps not São Paulo, which is like a gigantic, chaotic London. It all depends on what you'd like to see/do though 😊
