Update March 13, 2020, 1:00 p.m.:

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has denied reports that he tested positive for the coronavirus, calling them "fake news" and saying he tested negative.

His son Eduardo condemned the reports as "lies."

"Too much lies and little information. Coronavirus exam done with the team that were with JB in USA have not yet been completed," the president's son tweeted. "There are always those people who tell lies in the media and if the story is confirmed they say 'I told you!', if not will be just 1 more fake news" story.

 

Original story:

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for coronavirus mere days after meeting President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Fox News reported.

Bolsonaro's son Eduardo told Fox News that his father is undergoing further testing to confirm the diagnosis. They expect the second set of test results later on Friday.

The Brazilian president underwent testing after his press secretary Fabio Wajngarten showed flu symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday.

Not what he said. He was rambling , but he finally said “He is negative”. Which prompted a banner switcheroo.

(EXCERPT)

Despite earlier reports in local media, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has tested negative for the illness, according to a post Friday on his official Facebook profile.

Some media had reported that Bolsonaro received an initial positive test result for COVID-19, but his official social media account later said tests were negative — and posted a photo of the leader making an offensive arm gesture to reporters earlier this year.

“Don’t believe the fake news media!” Bolsonaro wrote in all caps in Portuguese on Twitter.

I’m confused.

At first, we were told he tested positive.

Now, we’re not being told this.

What I’m hearing is either he tested NEGATIVE, or testing is still ongoing, and later today we’ll know definitely whether he is positive or negative.

So which is it?

I’m sure those North American liberals who know anything about Mr. Bolsonaro want to see him discredited and defeated, just like they would like to do to Mr. Trump.

Bolsonaro is a conservative.
He is an Evangelical Christian.
He is a strong supporter of Israel.
In a nutshell, he is one of us.
