A press secretary for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tested positive for coronavirus less than a week after meeting with President Trump.

Fabio Wajngarten, Bolsonaro’s communications secretary, started feeling flu-like symptoms on Wednesday, and a subsequent test found he was positive for coronavirus, according to Estadao. After his test, Bolsonaro and several others who traveled with him to Miami to meet with Trump last week were placed under self-quarantine.

A regional development minister, Rogerio Marinho, noted that Bolsonaro’s scheduled visits throughout the country had been postponed as he waits to see if he is infected.

Bolsonaro and Wajngarten both visited Mar-a-Lago on Saturday to join the president for dinner. Wajngarten was photographed standing just to the left of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence showing off a “Make Brazil Great Again” hat following the dinner. Several of Trump’s other associates were present at the dinner.

It's so contagious, I get it if people say, it's mainly killing the elderly and the young recover fairly quickly but it seems, within reason, measures should be taken to contain it.

My gosh, this is horrible news.

It seems easy to catch.

Now, because of showing "flu like symptoms" (not enough to say it's the coronvirus) by his wife, Justin Trudeau is self-quarantining or self-isolating.

This again, shows how contagious it is, Tom Hanks and Wife, the NBA player, if they do not demonstrably have the virus, they have come in contact with somebody who has as with Senator Cruz.

Looks like someone may be paying a visit to a US hospital in the near future.

He's calling for a blitzkrieg against the virus.

I mentioned this in another thread a day or two ago, but it's time for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence to start getting (at least) weekly tests for COVID-19.

Perhaps the same for other high officials in the government, as well.

This will hurt nothing and might help with early intervention if the virus is detected.

Is it a blood test or something else?

Tests have been shown to only be able to detect after symptoms appear.  Testing before symptoms gives a fake negative.

Why is this news "stunning"?

Now that the number of new people infected with the coronavirus in China is slowing, the country's Communist Party is ratcheting up threats against the West, with a particularly nasty warning about access to life-saving drugs aimed at the United States.
In an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency that's largely considered the mouthpiece of the party, Beijing bragged about its handling of COVID-19, a virus that originated in Wuhan and has spread quickly around the world, killing nearly 5,000 people and infecting thousands more. The article also claimed that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus."

This is a wakeup call if ever there was one!

[mountaineer]

My understanding is that Castro's little boy has done nothing to lead Canada through this supposed crisis, unlike the heads of most other nations.

[catfish1957]

This is a wakeup call if ever there was one!

More than a wake up call.  More like an act of war.

I can't believe our stupidity in allowing this to happen in the first place.

[libertybele]

...hmm... Gee do ya think that possibly this virus was bio engineered in retaliation for tariffs and energy independence?  China has had a death grip on our economy and our fearless (?) leaders have allowed them to do so for decades.

Yes, an act of war, but Congress will never allow Trump to declare war ... after all this will more than likely sink his re-election.  Who's going to back him.  It's China we're talking about.  Right now we need their drugs.  MSM doesn't seem to be reporting this.

They played the chess game very well.

I'm not a fan of Rubio, but he articulated the situation very well.

[skeeter]

This instance will be used for decades as an argument against taking any US company's manufacturing to China.

Yes.  AT some point we must get a wake up call, and establish that there are certain things and needs in our society, that MUST NOT be outsourced overseas to any country or company.

Finally, it appears that the Chicoms have finally decided to play their trump card.  I figured it would be rare earth metals, but looks like I'm wrong.

Proof that globalization does not work...

These other countries are NOT going to look out for our best interests, they will seize every opportunity to stab us in the back.

[Idiot]

This is a wakeup call if ever there was one!

Good grief!  Talk about a godless society....
