The unexpected dynamics of COVID-19 in Manaus, Brazil: Was herd immunity achieved?

2021-02-19

Abstract excerpt

In late March 2020, SARS-CoV-2 arrived in Manaus, Brazil, and rapidly developed into a large-scale epidemic that collapsed the local health system, and resulted in extreme death rates. Several key studies reported that ∼76% of residents of Manaus were infected (attack rate AR≃76%) by October 2020, suggesting protective herd immunity had been reached. Despite this, in November an unexpected second wave of COVID-19...
