Chart showing the COVID-19 Deaths in Brazil up to May 1st. Colors are showing the number of days to double the number of deaths.(Bubbles are clickable when paused in date)

I used deaths here, because they are the best indication of the growth of the number of cases and the number of cases in Brazil are extremely sub-notified. The death growth today is a very good indication of the growth 10 to 15 days ago (avg time from case to death). Growth on the last days increased in São Paulo, they were already slow a week ago (green circles) .

That can be related to the relaxing of quarantine from the population that started 3 to 2 weeks ago (although notifications have been quite erratic)

We need to be more vigilant in order to keep the social distance
