Brazil announced Thursday that its president’s press secretary — who recently spent four days in South Florida with a delegation headed by President Jair Bolsonaro — had tested positive for the coronavirus, setting off immediate ripples that reached from South Florida to Washington, D.C.
By days’ end Thursday, the mayors of Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami and U.S. Sens. Rick Scott and Lindsay Graham had announced they would self-quarantine; the medical campus of Miami Dade College said it was shutting down “until further notice” — and questions arose whether President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, who spent time last weekend with Bolsonaro and the press secretary at Mar-a-Lago, should be tested for the virus.
Trump said he wasn’t worried about the news from Brazil.
“I did hear something about that,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We had dinner together in Florida, at Mar-a-Lago, with the entire delegation. I don’t know if the press aide was there. If he was there, he was there. But we did nothing very unusual.”
The White House said in a statement that “the President and Vice President had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time.”
Fabio Wajngarten, Bolsonaro’s press secretary who tested positive for coronavirus, posted on Instagram a picture in which he’s standing close to Trump and Pence, who is in charge of the U.S. coronavirus task force, in Mar-a-Lago.

That response is too funny. He probably didnt know who was at his table or who he was standing right next to in a picture with Pence. there are a lot of underlings that circulate
There are at least two pictures of said event
77 tested cases...how many thousands of untested cases?
How is it that the people meeting with Trump have the virus?
I have to assume that Trump has been tested.
The last I read he hasn’t been tested.
It would be prudent.
