RIO – Brazil reported 33,506 new cases and 501 new deaths from Covid-19 in the last 24 hours; Since the start of the pandemic, the country has registered 6,238,076 incidents and 171,998 deaths, according to a newsletter from the press consortium.

The moving average for deaths, also measured by the survey, was 477. It was a 2% reduction compared to 14 days ago. The moving average of cases was 31,496, 13% more than 14 days ago.

The “7-day moving average” averages between the number of deaths 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 Ministry of Health did not use the R $ 3.4 billion released in the form of extraordinary credit in May of this year to face the Covid-19 pandemic. Six months after the approval of the extra resource, the portfolio did not even commit (reserve the amount for later disbursement) the amounts.

Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello’s claim that Brazil is experiencing a “rebound”, and not a “second wave” of Covid-19 cases, has caused controversy among experts. After all, there is no consensus for a technical, scientific and objective definition of what the “second wave” of an epidemic is.

It is a consensus among experts that, although some places have managed to curb the explosive increase in cases that has been seen until April, few of them have stopped the epidemic.

The figures “stopped” in the budget of the Ministry of Health are contained in two Provisional Measures (MP) for emergency credit edited by the government and later approved by Congress. In the case of another R $ 74.7 million, the resource simply can no longer be used, because three MPs lost their validity without the portfolio committing all the amounts provided for in them.
