Context for these materials
• COVID-19 is a humanitarian crisis and a global challenge. In this interconnected world, we have seen the virus spread
rapidly, and we are still gathering information to understand both its origins and its impact
• We are grateful for the businesses, governments, non-profits, and individuals around the world that are working to
protect those that are sick or in danger of becoming so, and to “flatten the curve”
• There is a lot that is still unknown about COVID-19; these materials are an attempt to shed light on what we know so
far to help businesses make informed decisions
– The top priority for all businesses is to protect the safety and health of employees and customers, for which there are WHO, CDC, and
other national guidelines
– Bain is not an expert on epidemiology and containment policies, however, given our 45+ years of experience advising companies during both
economic booms and busts, we are committed to spreading accurate and timely information to reduce the unknowns for businesses
and business leaders
• Our focus is to enable companies to make rapid and practical decisions; with a global pandemic that is rapidly
spreading and changing, now is not the time for detailed decision making; the need for speed and the right directional
strategy outweighs the need to get intricate details right, and we are committed to helping business leaders navigate the
path forward

Reopening lessons and implications for Brazil
• As government measures are successful and regions are able to control contamination levels, countries are starting to ease restrictions
and mobility starts to return to previous levels. Asian and European countries are moving forward with relaxed quarantine restrictions
while closely monitoring case growth
• Most developed economies are using similar approaches to reopen their countries; they are gradually relaxing suppression measures
trough a regionalized and detailed plan whilst, in some cases, strongly reinforcing mitigation actions
• On the suppression policies there are a few best practices to be observed: gradual reopening by sector, agglomeration restriction, border
control, region-based reopening and the existence of emergency plans are
• Most countries that have been successful so far also increased mitigation capacity by ramping-up number of tests per day and also by
implementing tracing systems to ensure the ability to detain new outbreaks
• Data shows us that with ~5-10% exposure immunity, most of the regions were able to stabilize the contamination curve; however,
distinct strategies and time to react led to different end-points so far.
– Regions that reacted later – such as NYC and Lombardy – got to higher relative mortality rates than regions that controlled the disease earlier on (such as
Greater London)
– This tells us that the ceiling for exposure levels is higher than where most countries are controlling the disease (~10-20% exposure), meaning that continued
mitigation measures and select suppression measures remain relevant once countries open their economies
• On the other hand, countries/regions such as Iran and some USA states had issues slowing down the curve after easing suppression
measures; those regions opened up before actually getting the situation under control, with a low level of exposure immunity (<5%) and
without effective mitigation tools in place

Reopening results: Some regions have already started the reopening process,
however not all of them are being able to control contamination levels
Many Asian and European countries are successfully moving forward with
relaxed quarantine restrictions while closely monitoring case growth
Other places, as Iran and some American states, are struggling to slowdown the
curve after the reopening due to inefficient suppression and mitigation measures

Measures taken can
mitigate the spread
Exposure immunity
helps reducing R0
Combination should
prevent HC collapse
The key to the reopening is maintaining R0 below 1; Successful re-openings have
compensated more lenient suppression measures with robust mitigation strategies
Specific demographics
lead to “baseline” R0
Different location / stage
leads to diff. strategy
R0 <=1
• Favorable demographics
lead to fewer needs of gov.
measures

• Government measures
(such as widespread testing
and screenings) reduce the
need for lockdowns
2
• Exposure immunity
develops as number of
cases increase, reducing
need of other measures

COVID-19 R0 (as a function of contributing factors)
All variables must be taken into consideration when reducing the contamination R0. Different countries are acting in very distinct
ways to approach the problem
1
With suppression reduction happening
in re-openings, R0 must be kept <=1 by
an increase in the mitigation
Even with suppression reduction,
it is important to keep some of
the restrictions, as big events
prohibition, borders closure and
some regional isolations

Exposure: Although exposure immunity is apparently an important aspect to allow
countries to reopen, there are uncertainties around its duration and necessary level
Media outlets are frequently talking about
exposure immunity to COVID-19…
Covid-19 immunity 'may be twice as high as believed',
study finds
“The new study does not show what level of immunity is given by a T-cell response, but scientists are increasingly
excited about the role played by T-cells because they believe it may explain why some groups, in particular children,
appear to be more immune to coronavirus. “
The Telegraph (June 30,, 2020)
My patient caught Covid-19 twice. So long to herd
immunity hopes?
“Regardless, the limited research so far on recovered Covid-19 patients shows that not all patients develop antibodies
after infection (…) Repeat infections in a short period are a feature of many viruses, including other coronaviruses. So
if some Covid-19 patients are getting reinfected after a second exposure, it would not be particularly unusual. “
VOX (July 12, 2020)
The World Is Still Far From Herd Immunity for
Coronavirus
“But in new studies that test the population more broadly, the percentage of people who have been infected so far
is still in the single digits (…) The precise herd immunity threshold for the novel coronavirus is not yet clear; but
several experts said they believed it would be higher than 60 percent.. “
The New York Times (May 28, 2020)
… however, there are important questions that
still have no definitive scientific answer
• What level of exposure is needed to contain the
pandemic?
• How long does the immunity of people who have
been infected last?
• Why do some infected people not develop
antibodies?
• Can people be infected more than once?

Scenario 2 (most likely scenario): Continuous
cycles of easing and tightening suppression
measures lead to new waves of cases, without
collapsing the health system
What do you have to believe?
Scenario 1 (most likely scenario): Exposure levels
achieved, together with new hygiene habits and
some level of suppression measures in place, are
enough to keep the contamination curve under
control
Scenario 2: The reopening leads to increased
contamination, causing a new wave of cases but
of lesser intensity

On the economy perspective, Brazil is already showing recovery signs, but is
expected to have a long recovery period
• Significant mobility changes were observed for all venues during the pandemic, but mobility is gradually returning to
previous levels, especially in workplaces
• Economy has already started to show signs of recovery in May and June:
– The industry is recovering fast; PMI was already 52% in June, in the same month energy consumption and industry occupation levels
reverted the negative trend and started to grow
– Commodities are returning to their normal price levels, with the exception of crude oil
– On the consumption side there are also signs of recovery: in may, retail sales started to increase reaching 93% of January levels
> The emergency aid from the government it is playing an important role for the consumption recovery
> Spending is focused on essential goods, with non-essentials lagging behind

Brazil is already showing economic recovery signs, but is expected to have a long
recovery period
• Significant mobility changes were observed for all venues during the pandemic, but mobility is gradually returning to
previous levels, especially in workplaces
• Economy has already started to show signs of recovery in May and June:
– The industry is recovering fast; PMI was already 52% in June, in the same month energy consumption and industry occupation levels
reverted the negative trend and started to grow
– Commodities are returning to their normal price levels, with the exception of crude oil
– On the consumption side there are also signs of recovery: in may, retail sales started to increase reaching 93% of January levels
> The emergency aid from the government it is playing an important role for the consumption recovery
> Spending is focused on essential goods, with non-essentials lagging behind
• On the other hand, macroeconomic factors indicate that the recovery could take longer than expected:
– Brazil’s country risk is one of the highest in the world among emergent countries pushing foreign capital away
– There’s not much room left internally for the government to cut interest rates, limiting the additional potential for stimulus
– Unemployment rate increased sharply and is expected to decrease at a slow pace posing an additional challenge to the recovery
> Services and human capital intensive segments are likely to be more impacted
• On the bottom line, Brazil is expected to go back to 2019 levels of GDP only in 2022
– Some segments will be more impacted, such as commerce and industrials, while others should have an easier time navigating the crisis,
such as agriculture and mining

sustained by the emergency aid while it lasts
