Hundreds of red roses were 'planted' on the emblematic Copacabana beach, in Rio de Janeiro, in memory of the 500,000 people who died with covid-19 in Brazil, one of the countries in the world most affected by the pandemic. The Copacabana sand was transformed into a rose bush in rejection of the 'way in which the Government' and 'part of society has treated the pandemic from the beginning of the health crisis,' according to the NGO Rio de Paz, organizer of the protest.
