After various authorities, mainly the Judiciary, had captured COVID-19
in recent weeks, the president Jair bolsonaro
said that I do not help
wearing a mask and replacing the handshake with elbow shakes.

At least nine people who participated in the act of inauguration of the president of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Minister Luiz Fux
, which occurred on September 10, reported in the following days that they had contracted the disease, including Fux himself, the mayor, Rodrigo Maia, the minister of the STF, Cármen Lúcia, and the Attorney General, Augusto Aras.

“I keep looking at Brasilia. The high level of power in Brasilia, some from the Executive, the Judiciary, and also the Legislative. 24 hour masks
. They slept with masks, they greet like that, ”Bolsonaro said, bowing with his elbow.

“They have the virus now, it is useless. What I kept saying back there: be careful who has comorbidities, waiting for a vaccine, a scientifically proven remedy, but it is useless, they will end up contracting it. And staying home does not solve anything. will have to leave the den, leave the house and will end up spreading the virus
. “

Bolsonaro once again defended the use of medicines chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine
in the treatment of Covid-19, even without scientifically proven efficacy.

“On the plateau, more than 200 contracted the virus. Almost all took chloroquine
and no one has been hospitalized. By observation, it worked. Now comes that story from the past: ‘oh, there’s no scientific confirmation.’ Y? Look at the ‘so what’ again. What is the alternative? I had no choice. Take hydroxychloroquine or don’t take anything, “Bolsonaro said.

The “so what again” is a reference to the answer he gave on April 28 when asked about the record of deaths at that time, when 474 deaths were recorded in 24 hours, for a total of 5,000. Today, according to the Ministry of Health, they are almost 140 thousand
Brazilians killed by the new coronavirus
