  We discuss the relationships between the outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic in
Brazil at the municipal level and different health, social, demographic, and
economic indices. We obtain significant correlations between the data gathered
for each municipalitiy and the proportion of cases and deaths by COVID-19 and
the results by municipality of the 2018 Brazilian presidential election. We
obtain different estimates for the number of deaths caused by central
government denialism of scientific facts and measures for mitigation of the
pandemic and its the historical, economic, and social roots.
