Brazil president Jair Bolsonaro tests positive for Corona Virus

[kpete]

Bolsonaro called the coronavirus crisis a "fantasy" literally days ago.


The positive test comes after Bolsonaro’s press secretary was found to have the disease following a trip to the US. His son Eduardo Bolsonaro, a congressman who was also on the trip, tweeted that his father “is not exhibiting any signs of the disease”

Bolsonaro dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night and videos and photos, including some on Wajngarten’s own Instagram account, showed the press secretary, Bolsonaro and Trump all in close proximity. “I’m not concerned,” Trump told reporters on Thursday.

Bolsonaro has downplayed the crisis. On Wednesday, he said “Other flus kill more than this” and has also called concern over coronavirus “oversized”.

Info:

Jair Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo, has tweeted to say that his father’s coronavirus test is not yet complete.

Eduardo Bolsonaro🇧🇷 (@BolsonaroSP)

(ENG)Too much lies and little information. Coronavirus exam done with the team that were with JB in USA have not yet been completed. There are always those people who tell lies in the media and if the story is confirmed they say "I told you!", if not will be just 1 more fake news March 13, 2020

It appear that although Bolsonaro’s initial test has come back positive, he is still awaiting the results of a second, definitive test.

Meanwhile, however, the Fox Business network is reporting that the White House is due to hold an urgent meeting on Bolsonaro’s positive coronavirus test.

Bolsonaro and Trump are so much alike it makes me ill that there could be two of them. Liars, thieves and pillagers, all.

16. someone on DU called Bolsonaro: El Trumpo.

El Dumpo absolutely idolizes Dump. He has been dreaming of their now infamous Saturday dinner for months.
Serves el creepo right, both of them.
Guess Brazil will be a shithole country to Dump from now on.

12. Even better news: he's 60 and recently had pneumonia

14. This could be the best thing that ever happened to the Amazon rainforest.

15. conflicting information coming out on this topic. O Globo states the test was negative.

O Globo and Jornal O Dia are both popular rags in Brazil. O Globo has the widest circulation and power.
At this stage, this information can change. O Globo also states Brazil will be declaring a state of emergency and isolating visitors for 7 days.
