NO - this is not confirmed. Don’t re-tweet this.
Here's what is known about Bolsonaro's Covid-19 test: he took the test. The result should be ready. But the presidential palace is now saying the result will only be released Friday, which likely means he had a second test, and that one takes longer:

Bolsonaro has been heaping praise on @CNNBrasil, scheduled to launch on Sunday, March 15, the day of Bolsonaro's anti-democracy protest, with a big exclusive interview with Bolsonaro.

But now Bolsonaro has cancelled it, as we await his Covid-19 results:

Bolsonaro spent last week minimizing Covid-19 as a small crisis, a media farce.

Now that one of his closest aides with whom he traveled to meet Trump has tested positive & Bolsonaro's results are oddly delayed, here's the video he posted yesterday. Wonder how these fans feel:

Exactly 2 years ago today, I wrote this series of tweets about Marielle Franco, through tears, beginning at 10:30 pm — 45 minutes after we received the call telling us of her assassination.

Two years later, the alleged shooters are on trial but not those who ordered her murder:
The pain of Marielle’s assassination never subsided - not for our family nor for the millions in Brazil who she inspired. Writing her obituary for the @Independent was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it still helps me to remember her unique force: independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
The still shamefully-unresolved question — Who Ordered the Assassination of Marielle Franco? — will never go away, hovering over Brazilian authorities as a toxic stain. We all know powerful people want it hidden. Huge numbers refuse to rest until it’s answered:

So bizarre what’s happening in Brazil. The Bolsonaro movement - including his sons - are screaming FAKE NEWS LIARS! at media reports that Bolsonaro’s son confirmed the test was positive.

The problem? The report came from Fox, who they worship. And Fox still insists he said it:
The Bolsonaro family is doing to Fox News what they do to Brazilian outlets: accusing them of fabricating a major story to destroy people’s faith in journalism.

But unlike Brazilian outlets, conservatives worship Fox. So the question is whether Fox will defend their journalism?
Dear Fox & @johnrobertsFox:: Here’s Bolsonaro’s son, @BolsonaroSP, right on your own network explicitly calling you liars & insisting you fabricated your major scoop: claiming he never told you his father’s test was positive, never knew of a 1st test:

It’s extremely important to be cautious with how things like this are discussed:

1) One Brazilian columnist, citing anonymous sources, reported Bolsonaro’s first test was positive; 2) there’s no widespread media confirmation or official statement; 3) no news on the 2nd test.
Here’s the full @FoxNews report that flat-out states Bolsonaro tested positive on his 1st test: appears to have sourcing beyond the Brazil columnist. Oddly, seems to rely on Bolsonaro’s son, @BolsonaroSP, who is now angrily calling such reports “Fake News”
foxnews.com/world/brazil-b…
Here’s Bolsonaro’s Congressman-son, @BolsonaroSP, ranting and raving just now in 2 languages (sort of) that reports of Bolsonaro’s positive test are “Fake News” even as his beloved Fox News reports it, using him as one of its sources.

Key seems to be 1st v. 2nd test:

Six new #COVIDー19 in bc
2 related to Iran travel
2 in 60s from princess cruise 11-21 feb trip - Fraser health region - stable but in hosp for observation
More may test positive who were on that cruise
2 most concerning - residents of Lynn valley care centre
#bcpoli
Dr Bonnie Henry says the two positive tests in the care home leading to large investigation into residents and workers and what contact they’ve had.
And there are restrictions on that facility now for who is in and out.
#bcpoli #COVIDー19
Four recovered
The icu patient stable
2 I
All others in isolation
Also those with contact in isolation
“We are in an extraordinary situation” - Henry says - if you are sick stay home, keep your kids home.
But know that not everyone who is sick has #COVIDー19

Looks like @0ctoberReignz is onto something here... the image we have been bombarded with as being “Coronavirus” (specifically 2019-nCoV) is not an actual image of #COVID. It’s a rendition of another virus. In fact, we barely have a decent image of COVID at all!
Here is the best image we have of #COVID / #Coronavirus from the #Wuhan outbreak... this is it... this is the real image.

Doesn’t exactly look like the pretty modeled image we saw just a moment ago does it? Nope... not at all!
What we DO have... is a Electron Scanned Microscopic image of Influenza A... as correctly pointed out by @0ctoberReignz ... so... WTF??

There is definitely something way way off going on here

I gathered some alarming information on the rise of #COVID in Iran in this thread. I can see that it has been read by many hence increases my responsibility on what I share now.
As I stated before:

- I am not a trained reporter or journalist
- I am not based in Iran
- Not affiliated with any poilitical group, for or against the government
- Most of my information comes from the internet with occasional conversations with people in Iran
Today I shall try to gather information which I will share in the thread below.

Here’s my bold prediction for how the #COVIDー19 pandemic will go for the US:

First will be California, with hotspots in LA, Sacramento, San Fran. New York City will also likely be an epicenter.
I expect that once we get solid proof of community transmission in the large cities, domestic air travel will be shut down or heavily restricted. Land transmission will remain as the only viable method of spread.
Worst to be hit will likely be the Northeast and Southwest, with some penetration into Middle America and the PNW. Also concerned about the potential to hit the southeast via Hartsfield-Jackson, the amount of traffic through there is insane.

Trump's White House shut down the office that prepares for pandemics, tried to slash funding to the CDC and NIH, then scrambled to respond to #COVIDー19 by putting together a team of former pharmaceutical and auto lobbyists and a science-denying homophobe katz.substack.com/p/calling-in-s…
Chinese officials screwed up their initial response to the outbreak in Wuhan by prioritizing party loyalty over science and public health. They were more concerned about making the leader look good than saving lives.

Sound like anyone you know?
Xi told Trump he "feels they are doing very well" stopping #COVIDー19. Trump took his word for it, natch.

We don't know what else Xi said because the White House won't even publish call summaries anymore, because they think we have no right to know what the president is doing.
