On the 11th day of his hospitalization following surgery to remove a colostomy bag, president Jair Bolsonaro had a fever again on Wednesday evening (6th), and further exams showed he has pneumonia.
His medical team says that there is no set date to discharge the president, and visits are restricted to family members. Antonio Luiz Macedo, one of the president's doctors, told Folha that the new round of antibiotics to treat pneumonia would keep Bolsonaro at least seven more days.
The president's medical team had initially predicted that the president would be discharged ten days after the surgical procedure. Pneumonia and other previous issues will keep him for at least 18 days.
Bolsonaro was submitted on January 28th to a surgical procedure to reconstruct his intestinal traffic and remove a colostomy bag - his third surgery after being stabbed during a campaign rally in Juiz de Fora, last September.

Could this be a cover story to conceal the fact he's in the hospital to get his nose sharpened? That terrifying "attack" may have made his beak droop for a while.
It could be he needs more time to think up additional attacks on his political "enemies", insults like the one he used to tell a fellow Congresswoman she was too ugly to get raped, or more threats against indigenous people, or gay people, or progressive people, or, more praise for the previous torture-and-murder fascist dictatorship in Brazil.
