BREAKING: Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro says he has tested positive for COVID-19.

July 7, 2020 GMT

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro says he has tested positive for COVID-19 after months of downplaying the virus’ severity. The president has often appeared in public to shake hands with supporters and mingle with crowds, at times without a mask. He has said that his history as an athlete would protect him from the virus, and that it would be nothing more than a “little flu” were he to contract it.

Over the weekend, the Brazilian leader celebrated the U.S. Independence Day with the nation’s ambassador to Brazil, then shared pictures on social media showing him with his arm around the ambassador alongside several ministers and aides. None wore masks, despite being in close quarters.

CarrascoTV Wear masks down there

Karma's a bitch.

Good.

He tested positive for a traitor to humanity when he accepted money from Bill Gates.

Very Sad. May God heal Bolsenaro in JESUS Name Amen. Thanks AP.

Do Trump next.

If you understand Brazilian politics, youd know this is likely a charade. He probably doesn't have it. He only wants to 'prove' that hydrochloroquine 'cured' him, then anecdotally show that Covid isn't serious and that criticism of his inept government is unfair. He's a clown 🤡

lol

That's step one!

Does he know how a ventilator looks like?

F**** him 🖕.

Next would be trump

What a shame.

KARMA knows your address

Yea karma... next!

_Images Good for him. Let him eat his heart out.

Again?

Halleluia

Thoughts and prayers...

I guess now his claims of being an athlete will be put to the test. Seems like Brazilian Twitter is rooting for Covid though.

Lol this mf didnt take no precautions now he infected karma a bitch ain't it?

Now im waiting for trump to test positive. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yaaaaaaaas Miss Rona!!!! Salaaay!!!!!!!!

Ha ha fucking right on. Fascist bastard

He got the Rona just like Forrest Gump! Run Bolsanaro, run!😂 Bolsanaro will get over the flu.

Thoughts and prayers 🤣🤣🤣

A HOAX ...

Now do Trump!

first positive thing on his term.

I guess hydroxy didn’t help.

Maybe this will change his mind about the whole thing and finally decide to help his people.

Oh; Now he needs a mask. Bolsonaro

Time wounds all heels!

Karma.

Good. He’s a monster.

Considering the hell he has leashed on the people of Brazil, it is time he experience some of the same.

PigskinAnnie womp WOMP

Good bye 😂

In other news, he also tested positive for stupidity and gross negligence

I’m probably wrong he wouldn’t make this up right. Do you think someone that stocked piled thousands of Hydroxychloroquine and down played COVID-19 would say he got COVID-19 and took Hydroxychloroquine and suddenly over night feels good no would do that right

Congratulations block headed President

What makes a populist dangerous is that in the name of his own 'people' the populist leader is set his (lack of) policy against the spread of coronavirus directly against his own ...people. Bolsonaru & Trump in the top of this list...

Didn’t he just say he didn’t have it

What a nice day for Brazilians. They have been calling Bolsonaro 'genocidal'

😅😂🤣

GG, totalitarian scum.

Karma Covidiot!

DamonLinker 🚨You can only tempt fate for so long. 🚨

trump COVID19 Trump kiss your Brazilian Bro.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

this guy is almost as stupid as Trump. The U.S. and Brasil are in a race to see who can get the most cases of Covid.

😆

COME ON RONA.... DO YOUR THANG!

THREAD: Bolsonaro often downplayed the virus’ severity, appearing in public to shake hands with supporters and mingle with crowds, at times without a mask. He has said that his history as an athlete would shield him from the virus.

the u.s. has a president like this one, too.

🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Mask up, people! This pandemic will never subside unless we ALL keep each other safe. Wear a mask! Thank you—😷✌️

DECÍA MI PAPÁ, SI TE PONES EN EL TOCADERO, TE TOCARÁ RRT

Finally some good news in 2020 !

dmrider Its Karma at work!

Quando atacamos a natureza: vingança ...

RIP

Yesssssssssssss

fantastic

not wishing to indulge in schadenfreude.. it would however, seem that karma is a bitch

yennikwok the virus was a good guy here.

Thoughts and prayers

You.Don’t.Say

That’s because dumb people never fail to be stupid.... 😳😳😳 COVID__19 COVIDIOTS BolsonaroInfectado

Cool, now do Trump :)

He will survive this. Remember Boris the Prime Minister of UK 🇬🇧 tested positive and went to hospital and survived even though numbers of people were dying from covid-19 in UK 🇬🇧. My mother-in-law stays in UK 🇬🇧 and she had been so terrified by getting infected
