Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has said hes using the unproven malaria drug touted by President Trump as a treatment after he tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Bolsonaro, whose positive test was confirmed Tuesday, said hes confident hell survive his brush with the disease thanks to treatment with hydroxychloroquine. Bolsonaro has spent months downplaying the severity of the pandemic as thousands died in his country. Im, well, normal. I even want to take a walk around here, but I cant due to medical recommendations, Bolsonaro said, according to AP. He posted a video to Facebook of him taking hydroxychloroquine Tuesday, and said: Im a lot better, so certainly its working... We know today there are other remedies that can help fight the coronavirus. We know none of them have their efficacy scientifically proven, but Im one more person for whom this is working. There is no solid evidence that hydroxychloroquine offers clinical benefit to patients who have COVID-19.

(86,640 posts)10. Yup. He's not taking it
and he could be lying about testing positive too. Who is there to confirm either way?

That could take care of Brazil's problem quickly.

(86,640 posts)12. If only any of it were true.
I suspect that he lying about testing positive, about taking this drug and he's doing it to win the favor of dr. donnie.

Can't trust these asshole fascists, no matter which country they infest.
