The moving average of deaths was 439. This is the eighth day in a row with a moving average of less than 500, which has not happened since the beginning of May. This means that the country spent 167 days losing, on average, more than 500 Brazilians a day to Covid-19. At the top, it reached over a thousand deaths a day.
However, the moving average of cases, which was 24,389, showed an upward trend again, for the third day in a row. As of Tuesday, the country had been experiencing only a drop or stability in this index for 83 days.

The “7-day moving average” averages between the number of deaths or cases for the day and the previous six. It is compared with an average of two weeks ago to indicate if there is an uptrend, stability or a downtrend. The calculation is a statistical resource to be able to see the trend of the data, drowning out the “noise” caused on weekends, when the notification of deaths is reduced due to the shortage of shift employees.
The consortium of press vehicles is made up of O GLOBO, Extra, G1, Folha de S.Paulo, UOL and O Estado de S. Paulo and collects information from the state health secretariats released daily until 8 pm.

Ruth de Aquino:Covid vaccines shit
With one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world, behind only the United States and India, Brazil has become a key testing ground for vaccines and has approved end-stage clinical trials for four potential immunizers that are in development.
They are being investigated by the University of Oxford and the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca; by Sinovac Biotech; by Pfizer Inc in association with BioNTech; and by Johnson & Johnson’s pharmaceutical subsidiary, Janssen.
Torres told Reuters that Anvisa has not yet decided the minimum effectiveness to require, but recalled that the agency has already approved vaccines for other diseases in the past, with less than 50% effectiveness. This rate is the percentage of people who, taking the immunizer, would in fact be protected from the disease.
