The commentary presents an overview of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. While social inequalities in the country are identified as one of the causes of the high number of cases of the disease, this analysis points to an element that has ameliorated the occurrence of a national catastrophe: the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS) implemented under the 1988 constitution.
