There was a massive street demonstration scheduled for today in Brazil, in support of Bolsonaro and against the Congress (sic). On Friday, he made an official statement on TV saying that the protests should be "reconsidered". Earlier that day, he made a Facebook live like this:
(The man next to him is Brazil's "Minister of Health", Mandetta)
On the same day, Bolsonaro's supporters were in TT with the #DesculpeJairMasEuVou (I'm sorry, Jair, but I'm going - to the street protests). A bolsonarist congresswoman posted that people going should "wear masks, bring handsanitizer and AVOID PHYSICAL CONTACT" (sic)
The protests happened, with posters like this: I survived PT (the leftist party that was in power before Bolsonaro)... Corona, for me, is beer!"
This poster asks for a new AI-5 (an authoritarian measure adopted in 1968, during our dictatorship period) and says: "close the Congress, eliminate all political parties, hunt all traitors, punish harshly; return sovereignty to the people".
So far, 12 people who were in CLOSE contact with Brazil's president have tested positive for COVID-19. On Friday 13th, he said his test was negative. But he was recommended to quarantine for 7 days, when a new exam will be collected. This is Bolsonaro TODAY
At Bolsonaro's side today was the head of ANVISA, Brazil's agency for sanitary control, similar to the USA's FDA.

Se tiverem mais fotos e informações sobre as manifestações de hoje e sobre a irresponsabilidade do governo sobre o corona, postem q eu vou adicionando à thread
Last year, Bolsonaro's son, Eduardo, who is also a congressman, recommended this "news" website, in which its Opinion Director published about Corona:
"We may be facing a psychological manipulation experiment in global scale, a huge fraud to manipulate economies (...)"
"We may be facing a psychological manipulation experiment in global scale, a huge fraud to manipulate economies (...)"
Bolsonaro about calling off football games:
"Calling off games contributes to histeria (...). Canceling will not contain the virus. The economy can't stop. It will bring unemployment."

Here's a video of an old lady who was in the streets today supporting Bolsonaro, wearing a mask
A far-right Congressman and Bolsonaro supporter shared this video of today's protest in support of the president:
"My son, my granddaughter, my pregnant (sic) niece, all under the rain (...). Corona, I'm not sure, but a flu after this rain is certain! "
"My son, my granddaughter, my pregnant (sic) niece, all under the rain (...). Corona, I'm not sure, but a flu after this rain is certain! "
A Brazilian governor, Caiado, one of the closest to Bolsonaro and who is also a doctor, asked protesters to avoid agglomerations. He was booed and called a "son of a b*tch" and a "dictator".
This poster reads:
"Against the viruses of STF [our Judiciary Supreme Court] and Congress: alcohol an fire! Fu*k them."

🔴🔴 A woman was SHOT in the protests today ❗
It is being reported that a Bolsonaro supporter shot her because she yelled "Fora Bolsonaro" (meaning: Bolsonaro out now)

(Still little information on this shooting. A news website reports that after the protest ended, a man and a woman were having an argument, and he suddenly pulled out a firearm and shot her in the leg)
Photo from the protest on Sunday. Behind president Jair Bolsonaro, there's a poster that reads:

Here the Ministry of Health, Henrique Mandetta, corroborates with Bolsonaro's recklessness on #coronavirus:
"The Jair Bolsonaro government is working in an integrated manner so that our country can overcome this adversity (...)"

Bolsonaro Sunday 15h at CNN:
"We had more serious viruses than this one, that didn't create this hysteria. There is certainly an economic interest in this. In 2009, there was also a virus and it was nothing compared to this. But then, it was PT here and Dems in USA"

People on the public demonstration yesterday in support of Bolsonaro yell
"AI-5, AI-5"
AI-5 was the most authoritarian decree issued by the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1968
