The strange thing about Sao Paulo is that when you arrive in Brazils most densely populated city it seems pretty normal. This is despite the fact that its the biggest city in Brazil, a country which currently has the highest daily death rate from Covid-19 in the world.
The figures are bad. For the last three days more than 1,000 people have officially died from the virus, but because there is little testing and health care has been stretched to breaking point, most Brazilians believe this is a vast under estimate
When we arrived on Thursday the airport was quiet and we had to present a letter from the Brazilian embassy giving us permission to report.
However, driving into this sprawling metropolis of 20 million people the streets seem busy and theres plenty of activity.
