RIO – After a week in decline, Brazil returned to a stable trend in the moving average of deaths from Covid-19. The average recorded on Monday was 731. The first time the country showed a downward trend was on September 5. However, the next day, it returned to stability and fell again on September 7, remaining that way until this Sunday. Since August 12, the calculation result has been below 1000 and, since September 7, below 800.

The 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 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 by the shortage of employees on duty.
The country also surpassed 132,000 deaths from Covid-19 on Monday. According to the 8 pm bulletin of the media consortium, 454 deaths were registered in the last 24 hours, totaling 132,117 lives lost by the coronavirus. 19,392 new cases were registered, leading to 4,349,544 those infected with Sars-CoV-2 in the country.
Brazil has 12 states with a downward trend in the moving averages of deaths from Covid-19: Alagoas, Amapá, Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Santa Catarina and Tocantins.

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 state health departments broadcast daily until 8 pm.
The media initiative was created from inconsistencies in the data presented by the Ministry of Health.

The ministry said tonight that a total of 4,345,610 cases of Covid-19 and 132,006 deaths from the disease have been registered in the country. In the last 24 hours, 15,115 new cases and 381 deaths were confirmed. The numbers at the beginning of the week are usually lower because there is a delay in feeding the database. According to the bulletin, there are 2,498 more deaths under investigation. According to estimates by the Ministry of Health, there are 3,613,184 people recovered from the disease in the country.
Acquired immunity against coronavirus is short-lived, study suggests
Acquired immunity against Sars-CoV-2, a virus that causes Covid-19, is truly short-lived, suggests one of the most exciting studies ever conducted on the subject. The research looked at coronaviruses similar to Sars-CoV-2 and has implications for vaccines and so-called herd (group) immunity. Scientists have found that re-infection with the same cold coronavirus, so-called seasonal coronaviruses, is common less than a year after the original infection.

Pediatricians warn of Covid-19 symptoms in children
At a time when classes are resuming, Brazilian pediatricians warn about the symptoms of childhood Covid-19 that parents should know. And they are not just respiratory, as previously thought, and early detection is essential to prevent them from getting worse. Fever and gastrointestinal problems, such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, can be a sign of the severe form of childhood Covid-19, underlines Arnaldo Prata Barbosa, pediatric research coordinator at the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (Idor) .
Covid-19 rarely worsens in children and adolescents, and most are asymptomatic. They represent less than 2% of symptomatic Covid-19 cases. However, when they become ill, they can be affected by the so-called pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome, better known by the acronym in English MIS.
– The message is that parents should be aware not only of respiratory symptoms. In MIS, gastrointestinal symptoms are more common. A child with fever and abdominal pain should be evaluated for MIS, to have their heart examined, Barbosa emphasizes.
