Swap lines by bars in some graphs

Maybe line graphs are more adequate to cummulative data and bar graphs to daily data. Other country pages already follow this 'convention'. Luís Felipe Braga

Agreed --Hagnat (talk) 21:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Fill out the cites!

This article is a month old and already has 10 "Archived copy" cites. It should have NONE. I fix cite errors, not chronic problems. User-duck (talk) 03:13, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Less Images, please!

There is too many images in this article. Please, reduce the amount of images on it. Keep only images that are meaningful. --Hagnat (talk) 07:33, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Replicated Charts

Several charts are redundant.

On March 19, Scientists predict up to 2 million deaths in Brazil in the worst scenario without measures to contain the virus. They point out that maintaining social distance is one of the most effective measures without a vaccine.[87] - This statement has ZERO CREDIBILITY - source does not inform the names of scientists - All world together (>7 Billion people) now has 25k deaths but it will Brazil (200 Million people) that shall have 2 M?

A reference to President Jair BOLSONARO is followed by "(sem partido)" in Portuguese. "Sem Partido" can be translated as ("Without Party Affiliation". 2601:C6:C07F:F150:8556:7807:5449:FD60 (talk) 20:55, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

In sub heading "Response" Remove:

"This means, in the assessment of a statistical expert in epidemiology, Antonio Ponce de Leon, that the rate of infections in Brazil is slower."

This statement does not take the amount of testing into consideration and therefore, even if true, is not relevant in this context. Correlations between confirmed cases and the rate of infections are deficient.

Background section

For a debate about the new introduction of the Background section, please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_COVID-19#Mass_duplicates_for_"Background".--walkee^talkee 17:23, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Streamlined Timeline

I did a round on the timeline section. I made it easier to identify which date things were happening, and removed a lot of non-notable items. There is no need to write about the number of confirmed cases for a given day, if that is a statistical information. After the initial cases/suspects of the virus, there is no need to know the personal information of the patients. --Hagnat (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Suggested Improvements, Additions

• Population per state - Please, on the table where cases per states are reported, please add columns with: population per state; confirmed cases per million people in each state.
• Number of tests - per state and total. -- Josuedalboni (talk) 01:13, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

There is little value adding the population count for each state. You can check this information on each state's wiki article.

We cannot list the number of tests per state, not even total, since that is not public information

Thanks for the suggestions, though --Hagnat (talk) 15:20, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Religious services

The information "Dom Odilo Scherer, Archbishop of São Paulo has defended that churches should not be closed. He argues that there should be more daily services to diffuse large gatherings.[142]" is outdated.

Dom Odilo decided to suspend, on March 21st, until further notice, all religious celebrations that involved the public. The notification can be found at http://arquisp.org.br/noticias/comunicado-sobre-a-suspensao-temporaria-de-celebracoes-religiosas — Preceding unsigned comment added by RenatoCunha (talk • contribs) 18:02, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

That information was already fixed. --Hagnat (talk) 15:24, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Brazil: number of recoveries is wrong

Bolsonaro

Is deciding Bolsonaro everything right? The numbers seem to not rise much. The infection curve is exactly the same as in the other countries with cutting the civil rights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.209.199.30 (talk) 10:05, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

i don't understand your question. Bolsonaro is an ass (my opinion), but thankfully the Ministry of Health is doing an awesome job and the majority of the population and governors are listening to him. Anyway, wikipedia is not a plataform for us to be discussing politics. --Hagnat (talk) 23:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Bolsonaro's posts have been removed by Facebook, youtube, Twitter for spreading COVID misinformation

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-31/facebook-twitter-pull-misleading-posts-from-brazil-s-bolsonaro

Bolsonaro's posts have been removed by Facebook, youtube, Twitter for spreading COVID related misinformation. This is unprecedented. His conduct on COVID has been questioned and has been covered in international media. This need to be added into the article. This deserves in a paragraph. This is the biggest pandemic and this page will be incomplete without any mention of this conduct. --Cedix (talk) 15:17, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

@Cedix: feel free to add it. The person that was updating the verbose sections of the article has stopped helping, and i am only maintaining the timeline section and statistics pages now --Hagnat (talk) 16:46, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hagnat ok. I will add it. --Cedix (talk) 17:18, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Correction on number of casualities and number of new cases

The Health Minister corrected the number of casualities registered today:

It was 113 on the last 24 hours (04/20/2020) NOT 383!

So it makes the total of 40.581 confirmed infected and 1.037 casualities as of 04/20/2020.
