Brazil is not testing enough, test results are being delayed 2-3 weeks. My sister works for one of the largest laboratories there (100+ labs across different states) and they are overwhelmed by supply shortages.

Current stats show 258 tests performed per 1 million inhabitants, compared to Germany's 15,730 per 1m pop. Brazil is testing almost the same as Togo (and 10x less than Iran) while having a bit over 60% of US's population.
