    Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro tests positive for Covid-19 after months of dismissing the seriousness of the virus

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/07/americas/brazil-bolsonaro-positive-coronavirus-intl/index.html

    It does raise that rumor if President Trump had actually tested positive for Covid-19...White House kept it a secret...then the arm weakness while drinking water awkwardness...then the stability weakness while walking down a slope at West Point...

    It does make you wonder about what's going on. :D

    Lets see if hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin goes to the forefront again by the media and if Bolsonaro will suddenly get quiet about those treatments.

    Story gets better...
    • Bolsonaro attended a July 4th commemoration event with the US Ambassador to Brazil Todd Chapman on Saturday.
    Just can't make this up.

  2. It Trump got COVID-19 I think the markets would tank - so I can see why they would keep it a secret.

    Keep testing over and over again - bound to get a positive test.
    Even jackfruit and goats can test positive if you send it to the most unscrupulous lab.

    All the Leaders have had it, basically everyones had it, had Boris badly but we aren't that lucky.

    Trump might of had and just not realised, a lot near him had it, or might have immunity from a similar virus.

    False Negatives definitely, but don't think the tests are that bad for false positives.

    Don't know if he took a saliva test / nasal swab (PCR) test / Blood Antibody test

    The one thing I wouldn't trust is any type of a home test kit or self test by someone testing themselves at home and not by a medical professional.

    It is no surprise he got the virus, and it will be no surprise if Trump gets it.
     
  9. Someone probably gave it to him on purpose.

    That would be sinister. Then again, it is a new type of assassination tactic by those into germ warfare.

    No need to shoot someone or blow them up...just cough in their direction or touch them.
