“Brazil is testing brutally less than it should. At best, 20 times less than is considered adequate”, says
Daniel Lahr, professor at the Institute of Biosciences at the University of São Paulo (USP). "It is so little that the
sample can basically be ignored."
One of the indicators of low testing is the rate of positive results for Sars-CoV-2 in tests that detect
respiratory viruses. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the ideal is that, of all tests done, 5% or
less are positive. In Brazil, the daily average is well above that: it is 36.68%, according to the Our World In Data
platform, used in Johns Hopkins University statistics.
“The (positive) data is higher because we are testing only the most serious cases, especially in
hospitals,” says Paulo Nadanovsky, an epidemiologist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz).

escuro', diz o especialista
Os testes são essenciais para detectar os infectados, isolá-los e retardar o avanço da pandemia no país. Os cientistas usam números de mortes e ocupação de leitos para

“O Brasil está testando brutalmente menos do que deveria. Na melhor das hipóteses, 20 vezes menos do que o considerado adequa do ”, diz Daniel Lahr, professor do
Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). "É tão pouco que a amostra pode basicamente ser ignorada."Um dos indicadores de teste baixo é a taxa de
resultados positivos para Sars-CoV-2 em testes que detectam
vírus respiratórios. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), o ideal é que, de todos os exames feitos, 5% ou menos sejam positivos. No Brasil, a média diária
está bem acima disso: é de 36,68%, segundo a plataforma Our World In Data, utilizada nas estatísticas da Johns Hopkins University. “Os dados (positivos) são maiores
porque estamos testando apenas os casos mais graves, especialmente em hospitais ”, afirma Paulo Nadanovsky, epidemiologista da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz).
