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”

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:
If Trump really hasn’t been tested since this, it’s extreme medial recklessness and political irresponsibility. If he has, then it’s a scandalous that we don’t know the results:

Brazilian officials pushing back hard on the @FoxNews report that Bolsonaro tested positive for the coronavirus, calling it a lie (without having the courage to mention that it’s Fox). Seems the game they’re playing is 1st test v. 2nd, but who knows?

Globo News is now reporting that Bolsonaro does NOT have the coronavirus, that his test result is negative.
Fox and @johnrobertsFox have now deleted their tweets stating emphatically that Bolsonaro tested positive for Coronavirus. Should be a lesson in how much caution is required for this kind of reporting:
