by

Brazil recorded 301 deaths from Covid and 51,265 cases of the disease, this Wednesday (8). As a result, the country has lost 667,701 lives and 31,314,513 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.

With this Wednesday’s data, the moving average of deaths once again surpassed the mark of 100 deaths per day. At the moment, the average is 122 lives lost daily, a situation of stability in relation to the data of two weeks ago (that is, without variations greater than 15%). It’s the highest average since May 2, when it was 126.

The moving average of cases continues to grow sharply. Now the average is 36,629 people infected per day, an increase of 112% compared to the information two weeks ago. This is the highest moving average since March 21 of this year, when it was 37,093.

The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between Sheet, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disclose the numbers related to the new coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.

The initiative of the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed newsletters about the disease and took information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of the totals of cases and deaths. In addition, the government has released conflicting data.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
