Duterte versus Bolsonaro, what a difference Covid makes

They are both populist and authoritarian, Duterte the President of The Philippines. Bolsonaro, the President of Brazil, have much in common and many differences, but Covid is the distinguishing factor.

While deaths from Covid in Brazil top half a million, and President Jair Messias Bolsonaro sees his popularity plummet, in the Philippines, where the Covid death toll is 24,000, President Rodrigo Duterte says he will jail people who refuse the Covid vaccine.

One thing that Duterte and Bolsonaro have in common is that they are both extremely unpopular with liberals. They are also populist and authoritarian.
