Moving average of Covid deaths grows again in Brazil

After 78 days, Brazil again recorded an increase in the moving average of deaths by Covid. The average number of deaths is now 86 per day, which indicates an increase of 26% compared to the data of two weeks ago.

The uptrend is verified when there is a variation greater than 15% in a period of 14 days. The downward movement, in turn, occurs when the negative variation exceeds 15%.

This Tuesday (4), Brazil recorded 110 deaths from Covid and 9,036 cases of the disease. As a result, the country has lost 686,531 lives and 34,735,542 people infected with Sars-CoV-2.

The moving average of cases is at 6,783 per day. The number is 3% lower than the data from 14 days ago, which indicates stability.

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 publish figures related to the coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the State Health Departments.

In all, 181,882,527 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. Adding the single doses of Janssen vaccine, there are 170,833,442 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.

Thus, the country already has 84.66% of the population with the 1st dose and 79.52% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.

To date, 104,548,883 people have taken the third dose, and 33,782,893 the fourth.

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.
