Answer:
A world leader in infections and deaths.
Latin America became an epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in May, driven by Brazil’s ballooning caseload. Ten months after its first known case, Brazil has had more than 7.9 million cases and over 200,000 deaths.
In early June, Brazil began averaging about 1,000 deaths per day from Covid-19, joining the United States — and later India — as the countries with the world’s largest death tolls.
Then, starting in August, the spread of the virus eased, and the daily death toll began to drop.
Shopping malls, restaurants and beaches started to draw crowds again. Tourist attractions reopened in several cities, though many announced they would postpone Carnival and other festivities.
But the easing of preventive measures soon began to take its toll. Data on hospitalizations for respiratory illnesses tracked by Fiocruz, a government institute that studies health care issues, showed the downward trend that had lasted 16 weeks ceased in late November.
The country’s role in research helped it cut two deals to get preferential access to possible vaccines. One such agreement is between the state of São Paulo and China’s Sinovac, for 46 million doses, and another is between the federal government and AstraZeneca, for 100 million doses. Both vaccines would be produced by Brazilian manufacturers.
In late September, Brazil also decided to invest in the Covax Facility, a worldwide effort from governments and manufacturers to approve and distribute a vaccine.
