Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has described the coronavirus as just a “little flu,” and refused to take precautions himself or enforce them them for his population, often mingling in large crowds and hugging and shaking hands with supporters, has tested positive for coronavirus. He announced in a TV interview today that he hadn’t been feeling well for a few days so decided to get tested.
But, the 65-year-old told reporters that after taking a few doses of the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, “I feel perfectly fine, I’m really fine and I’m ready to go back to work.” He said he’d be working remotely for the time being, and would follow all necessary protocols.
