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)

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.

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)
