Using the infection fatality rate to predict the evolution of Covid-19 in Brazil

In this work we are going to use estimates of Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) for Covid-19 in order to predict the evolution of Covid-19 in Brazil. To this aim, we are going to fit the parameters of the SIR model using the official deceased data available by governmental agencies. Furthermore, we are going to analyse the impact of social distancing policies on the transmission parameters.
