In a social media live that lasted more than an hour, President Jair Bolsonaro (no party) lied, referred to the Armed Forces when saying that he does "what the people want" and attacked governors and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ( PT).

He again affirmed that he never referred to Covid-19 as a "little flu,"—one of the lies told by Bolsonaro on Thursday.

Bolsonaro used the term “little flu” at least twice. In an interview on March 20 last year, he said that "after being stabbed, no little flu will knock me down, no."

Four days later, this time in a national broadcast on radio and TV, he used the term a second time.

"In my particular case, due to my history as an athlete, if I were infected by the virus, I wouldn't have to worry, I wouldn't feel anything or I would be, at most, suffering from a cold," he said on March 24, 2020.
