Paulo. Between January and mid-April, 1.645 people died from influenza. Since the beginning of the pandemic in Brazil, 1,5 have died from coronavirus in Brazil.

With more than two hundred deaths in the last 24 hours and with the number increasing every day, the deaths from Covid-19 in the country will surpass this week (possibly on Wednesday, the 15th) the total number of influenza deaths for the decade, in the month of April, combined.
