Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro says he has tested positive for COVID-19.

The politician – who has previously dismissed the disease as a “little flu” – said he began feeling unwell on Sunday but insists his condition has improved since having treatment.

He said he is taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin.

“I’m well, normal,” Mr Bolsonaro told reporters while wearing a face mask.

“I even want to take a walk around here, but I can’t due to medical recommendations.”

The 65-year-old has cancelled a planned trip to the Brazilian state of Bahia following his diagnosis.

Mr Bolsonaro has spent months downplaying the severity of coronavirus and has often appeared in public shaking hands with supporters and mingling with crowds, at times without a mask.

The general public should be furious at the way people have been treated in the country by suppression of these drugs, by that kind of website that suppresses the ability of doctors to practice medicine.

The judge’s finest moment may have been when he dashed the most glaring myth about ivermectin—that it is not safe, despite decades of use that shows otherwise. Noting that all drugs have side effects, Judge Fullerton listed ivermectin’s effects from a government website.
“(N)umber one, generally well tolerated; number two, dizziness; number three, pruritus; number four, nausea/diarrhea. These are the side effects for the dosage that’s being asked to be administered,” he said. “The risks of these side effects are so minimal that Mr. Ng’s current situation outweighs that risk by one-hundredfold.”
