I doubt that Bolsonaro currently has COVID-19. He's grandstanding...

[blitzen]

to justify his despicable virus "strategy"--and to tout Hydroxychloroquine.

1. Meh. Not everything is a conspiracy.

His behavior made it likely, and it's come to pass.

Now we wait.

[blitzen]

3. Not a conspiracy, just a deceitful fascist doing what deceitful fascists do. n/t

2. I don't think so.

given how he has flaunted all safety measures its not inconceivable that he's got covid. He had public meetings where he would greet supporters, hug babies and so on.
The only thing that surprises me is that Trump has not caught it yet given many around him have.

4. I think he already had it three months ago. He himself said he thought he had already had it...

Back then he covered it up. Now, with the surge in Brazil, he needs to convince people that it's no big deal, hence he needs to flaunt his supposed infection.

7. That's what I remembered also.

5. That doesn't make much sense

Him going around and not getting it makes him look stronger than having got it.

[blitzen]

6. No, him getting it and not getting very sick (if that happens) matches his discourse perfectly...

and of course if he is faking he won't get very sick. We live in an age of depraved political theater.

He's been justifying his inaction by claiming that it's just a little flu. Meanwhile the graveyards have all filled up, and families are limited to 10 minute visitations with deceased loved ones.
