World Pandemic Z.

[ 1st Arc: Covid-19 to Z-Virus ]

== Year: 2021 - Situation: Desperation and Hope ==

{ January 2021 }

Vaccination Approval: The beginning of the second half of January was marked by an extremely important decision for the country. Anvisa granted emergency use approval for two vaccines, CoronaVac and the Oxford Vaccine.

Finally, this long-awaited moment arrived. One day after the approval, which took place on January 17, Brazilian Air Force planes were already taking off to distribute the vaccines across the country and, in the same week, each state began its vaccination campaign.

Initially, 6 million doses of CoronaVac were already on Brazilian soil, and another 2 million doses of the Oxford Vaccine would be brought from India.

These are imported doses and both the Butantan Institute and FioCruz will produce doses of the vaccines that will be delivered to the Ministry of Health.

The forecast is that FioCruz will produce 100 million doses of the Oxford Vaccine by the first half of 2021, and another 100 million by the end of the year.

The Butantan Institute plans to produce 86 million doses of CoronaVac by the end of the year..

{ February 2021 }

First doses applied: Brazil continues its vaccination campaign, so far, 49.34% of the doses received by the states have been applied. This means that 5,756,502 Brazilians have already received at least one dose of the vaccine.

The second dose of the vaccine has already been applied to 1,051,406 Brazilians.

The Ministry of Health is negotiating with vaccine producers from Russia and India, responsible for the Sputnik V and Covaxin vaccines, respectively, to make the vaccines available here in Brazil.

But it is worth remembering that the vaccines have not yet received emergency use approval from Anvisa.

Brazil is in a tense moment and on most days in February until the present date, more than a thousand deaths per day have been recorded, with 1,309 deaths in the last 24 hours.

The total number of accumulated cases currently is 10,081,676..

== Brazil: State of Paraná ==

- "Hm... so it finally started?" - Thought a man with black hair and military clothes, holding an AR-15 on his lap, studying the weapon to understand its functioning while a video lesson played on the computer in the corner, about how to clean and maintain weapons.

He watched the news on open network every night, after his family died from Covid-19. Around him, it was like a fortified mansion, windows secured by steel bars, doors with weapon systems attached to them, along with silencers connected to them. With a notebook by his side, he made some final notes, finally sighing in contentment, something no one else would do in his place for the news he was watching, but everything was connected to what he had been training, buying, and preparing for the past year.

And with that, I end the second chapter of the Global Pandemic Z. I hope everyone is enjoying it and don't forget to give that awesome support in the comments.

Anyway, until the next chapter. XD
