Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro took to the streets of Brasilia on Friday, drawing crowds and greeting followers in his latest public attack on social isolation measures to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

Bolsonaro, 65, a far-right former army captain, says the isolation measures mandated by state governors and his own public health officials are an unnecessary drag on the economy. Bolsonaro’s popularity has fallen during the coronavirus crisis, with a growing number of Brazilians angered by his stance toward a disease he calls a “little cold.”

On Friday, a national holiday in Brazil, Bolsonaro went to a military hospital, before stopping at a pharmacy and then visiting one of his sons in a residential building, according to TV images and press reports. At one of the stops, he was greeted by supporters who snapped photos and called his name. However, he was also subjected to criticism, with some Brasilia residents banging pots and pans in anger.

Critics say that Bolsonaro’s stance is chipping away at social distancing measures across Brazil. On Thursday, Reuters reported that lockdowns in Brazil’s largest cities to slow the coronavirus outbreak are beginning to slip.

Brazil....on my fucket list.

He is intellectually unable to take wise decisions

he thought he has antibody

This man is a stupid. I can not understand why Brazilians elected this stupid.

Like Trump, all these mini (very dangerous) dictators think they can socially engineer their countries by allowing the pandemic to affect mainly poor households that have almost no access to medical resources

He’s got guts but man probably not the right time for this

He is going to end up in the same spot as Britain's Johnson.

This guy is a US puppet installed by the CIA. Watch him.

Don't vote right wingers!

How do you say imbecile in Portuguese?

1000 people died in Brazil. He is suffering from trump

Os repórteres são os que estão causando aglomeração nesse caso

A aglomeração é dos jornalistas que o perseguem , onde o mesmo parou para comprar medicamentos

He deserves whatever he gets! 👿

I hope he gets tons of contact.

Até pensava que não era o momento deste asno cair (pela crise e preocupação pior que estamos lidando), mas a irresponsabilidade e desleixo estão demais! AcabouBolsonaro ForaBolsonaro

He is a fool.

This man will rundown Brazil and kill everyone.

Boris wants a word, idiot.

I want to see Trump do this, lol.

🔥

Some people deserve what they get.

Our “president” doesn’t believe in covid19, he thinks it’s just a “little flu” we r in trouble I guess... I am desperate.

He is not a doctor, he is not an infectologist, much less a scientist, he can propel the population to error.

We are all embarrassed by this outrageous attitude

He problably got the virus, then recovered and now is showing all this confidence. The question is: Why did he hide his results for covid-19?

God help us...

He’s on a ventilator in a couple of weeks.

Murder president

Why does this not annoy me.

Seriously one of the dumbest leaders on this planet right now.

Bolsonaro tem razão !

wow tough guy

What's wrong with this man...

Let’s hope he and his entourage test positive.

O pior presidente no pior momento para o Brasil

I think Donald Trump should do this.

God stop making touts as our leaders

There Flu Season is just about to start...

Idiot

Great man.

This guy should be taken out. Not only for Brazil but for the sake of protecting the Amazons which provide most of oxygen everyone breathes.

Karma is so slow with these mofos.

That’s good news

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that Covid puts this fascist pig where he belongs. 🤞

Nose wipe, handshake with guy in face mask. This is The Twilight Zone.

Science and doctors feel that isolation is the best option , if they are right than this guy may be putting many people in his country at risk of infection.

I wish I had a sniper rifle and was in Brazil atm when I see this basturds silly face.

We can pray this dirtbag, one of many populist fascists in the world these today’s gets a first hand experience at how serious this illness is. I’m so tired of these right wing animals and their lies and their fake everything. How can people support this bs.

My man.

Douchebag

GoldSuzie Like other madmen before him , hoping he has unhappy ending

Pretty sure his immune system can deal with a flu like virus that kills the already dying people! Wake up people see behind the BS were beeing told!!!

🧐..... Hazmat time 😬

prick

Bolsonaro will be the death of Brazil. He obviously hasn’t heard of exponentialgrowth. pandemic

It looks like the reporters are not practicing distancing

He is taking a cue from his pal in the northern hemisphere and look how it ended with him, his ass burnt, just spearing his artificial hair. Well Brazilians should be smart enough to behave reasonably.

He's so easy to hate. Absolute pantomine villain.

He's trying to play power games with a virus? Dear lord...what a complete imbecile.

Maybe we can see how this fascist ass-hat likes the COVIDs when his lungs are so choked with pus that it feels like concrete...

LaPelucaDeOlivo OMG!

Bolsonaro makes Trump look like a saint right now 😂🤦🏿‍♂️

Hahahahaha

Maybe coronavirus will do what the knife couldn't?🤔

Stupidity aside, that secret service guy on the right...😉

If he did so, he would bring Brazil to disaster.

Cool hope he gets it.

Otro imbecil más en este mundo que vivimos. Es un 🤡 payaso...

I think he lied about his positive results

Idiots

People will die unnecessarily because of his denial. He must go to jail!

After having burned the forest, he want to burn his population ?

Tem que ir pra rua para mostrar que tudo sobre o vírus é fake news 👀🙄

How would you like your country controlled by this guy? Humans appear expendable to this leader..

This is what you get when you elect idiots.

Actually this is sad and terrifying. Everybody I think hopes the best for Brazil, but I’m pretty sure most medical experts would say that this behaviour is inviting disaster. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Clearly he didn't get the Boris Johnson memo

GodandtheBear 🤞😉

If Covid-19 was Diehard. This guy is the President of Brazil 🇧🇷. Do not confuse invincibility with delusion.

He is Trump of Brazil...will lead the country to doomsday.

Wo wo wo wo calm down there. We have the market cornered on the Worst President. USA USA USA 🇺🇸

Taking up our air man

What's Portuguese for 'wanker'?

lobaoeletrico Pray for Brazil 😞😭

I firmly believe that man is mad

BolsonaroGenocida is a narcotrafficker He needs to get the LARGEST Narco Trafficking State in the the World up and running. He also said he never tested positive, which he did, but then said he didn't in about 48 hours.

This man is disgusting, irresponsible. Not a leader at all, he should get arrested.

projecting toughness defiance with stupidity is a great recipe for disaster...

Irresponsible leader. That's all I can say. Simple cold, he's lost his mind. COVIDー19 COVID19 CoronavirusOutbreak CoronavirusPandemic

Cara dura

Can't imagine a day where I wish harm on someone...Plague Day 36 is my breaking point I guess

Well, considering that there is a strong possibility of him being immune to previous infection...

cases globally crosses 1.6 million | more than 96,000 deaths Latest updates | cases per million population 👇 Corona CoronaVirusUpdates

International Paria!

A bout with the coronavirus will set him straight. He obviously thinks he's superhuman

He's pure trash. Wiping his nose and shaking people's hands. 🤮

This man is the worst president in the world. Brazil didn’t deserve it 😩

He should be trialed at the Hague. This criminal. Wiped his snot and shook an old lady's hand. The worst head of state to say the least.

Ashamed

This guy is an idiot, seriously.

Brazil turns to local industry to build ventilators as China orders fall throughBrazil's health minister said on Wednesday that the country's attempts to purchase thousands of ventilators from China to fight a growing coronavirus epidemic had fallen through and the government is now looking to Brazilian companies to build the devices. Good news🤙 What is funny is that, after their US imports, China relies on Brazilian food imports the most to feed their country. China is actively burning bridges with the countries that feed their population, famine is going to be inevitable.
