Brazil is only showing 77 COVID-19 cases. Bolsonaro and an aid have both tested positive.

Now, given Bolsonaro, an emerging dictator, has every reason to pull what I believe Trump has attempted to do (cover-up true numbers by hindering testing) and thus, I take the 77 figure for Brazil with a HUGE grain of salt, the question remains:

Were Bolsonaro and aid exposed to COVID-19 in Brazil or in the US--at Mar A Lago?



Based on their time in the US, when they departed and returned, and when they became ill, it appears either is possible. Hmm. One wonders how closely CDC and /or Florida Dept of Health are now looking at and epidemiologically tracing Mar A Lago attendees. And even more what Brazil will say about COVID-19 in Brazil and Bolsonaro's infection.

However it is a popular and most widely circulated. This information is subject to change.
Same publication is stating Brazil is entering stage of emergency and will quarantine or isolate visitors for 7 days.
Yikes.
