Thanks for clarifying, but that was exactly my point. > This is where the government's dishonesty comes in. They wanted to change the daily reports so that they would only include deaths that were added to the system in the same day where the person died. Any deaths that were not reported in the same day (which is the majority of deaths) would be left out of the statistics entirely. I don't think this will be happening. I am sure they will keep counting daily deaths correctly, adding numbers to past days, and making it publicly available. They just will stop feeding the media trolls. What we were having in fact was dishonesty from the media, claiming falsely that thousands of people died from covid-19 within 24 hours. They weren't making it clear that those deaths mostly happened in the last 45 days, so to create extreme reaction from its audience.

> They just will stop feeding the media trolls. What media trolls? I don't live in Brazil anymore but all of my family is still there. I want reliable numbers so I know what is happening, right now I'm left in the dark and having to pierce together data from multiple sources to get any kind of picture about daily death rates, velocity of spread, etc. "Feeding the media trolls" or not should not be into consideration when a pandemic is ongoing and the public and your citizens need the information to have any kind of sense about the situation, I'm left in the dark, scared with two parents fitting perfectly into CoViD-19 risk group. There is no defence to this behaviour, there is nothing that justifies hiding numbers from your population.
