Man, Brazil just doesnt get better. Still more than 100 death per day, around 50 thousand new infections. Will surely hit 100+ thousand deaths.
At least summer is coming in the south hemisphere so it should improve after september.

It's a continental sized country with many different sociocultural realities depending on the location. You have anything from cities with herd immunity to others where almost no one has caught it. The places that were hit first are now improving rapidly, while others that locked down before any meaningful outbreak (like where I live...) are seeing large number of cases.

Regardless, the AZ vaccine will roll out by the end of the year to at-risk populations and healthcare professionals. So, one way or another, it's more than halfway through already.

Will we hit the more than 300,000 estimated deaths from the 1918 Flu? I don't think so.
