  abstract = {{T}his paper aims at identifying the {C}ovid-19 infection and mortality risk factors in {B}razil during the pandemic's first wave. {T}hree groups of variables are considered: socioeconomic and health vulnerabilities, factors related to the virus transmission channels (mobility and density) and the effects of the policy responses. {T}he analysis at the level of all 5,570 municipalities, drawing on a matching of different statistical and administrative databases, returns three main results. {F}irst, structurally vulnerable populations are hardest hit-non-white, poor, in poor health, favela residents and informal workers-showing the impact of socioeconomic inequalities. {S}econd, we highlight some policy repercussions. {T}he {A}uxilio {E}mergencial (emergency cash transfer) has had a mitigating effect in communities with relatively more informal workers. {F}inally, {C}ovid-19 has hit hardest in municipalities that are more pro-{B}olsonaro. {T}he president's rhetoric and attitudes may have prompted his supporters to adopt more risky behaviour, suffer the consequences and infect others.},
