Bolsonaro gave the statement (see in the video above) during a live broadcast on a social network, accompanied by the Minister of Education, Milton Ribeiro, and the Secretary of Literacy of the Ministry of Education, Carlos Nadalim.

“I said back there that, in my case, due to my past as an athlete, I didn’t generalize, if I took Covid, I wouldn’t feel almost anything. That’s what I said. So, the media people, the mainstream media, saying that I I called Covid the question ‘fluzinha’. There is no video or audio of me speaking like that. And I spoke about my athletic state, my previous life, okay? I always took care of my body. I always liked doing sports. ”

On March 20 of this year, when giving an interview at the Planalto Palace, Bolsonaro affirmed that, after the stabbing he suffered in 2018, during the electoral campaign, it would not be a “small grip” that would knock him down.

“After the stab, it won’t be a little grip that will bring me down, okay? If the doctor or the Minister of Health recommends a reexamination, I will. Otherwise, I will behave like any of you here,” he stated Bolsonaro, after having undergone two tests to detect the coronavirus that were negative (watch the video below at 7min15sec).

Four days later, in a statement on national radio and television, Bolsonaro called for a “return to normalcy” and an end to the “massive confinement,” adding that the media spread “fear” among the population.

The president also said that if he contracted the coronavirus, he would have nothing more than a “little cold”:

“In my particular case, due to the history of my athlete, if he were infected with the virus, I would not have to worry. I would not feel anything or be, at most, suffering from a cold or a little cold, as that famous doctor said on that famous television. speaking, the world seeks treatment for disease “(see the video below 3min).

During the live broadcast on Thursday (26), Bolsonaro also said that a “serious study” on the effectiveness of the use of masks during the pandemic will be released.

“The question of the mask, I will not say much because there will still be a serious study talking about the effectiveness of the mask – whether it protects 100%, 80%, 90%, 10%, 4% or 1%. This study will come. I think that only the last taboo to fall is missing ”, he declared.
