Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for Covid-19, Bolsonaro himself announced, speaking on Brazilian TV channels Tuesday.

"Everyone knew that it would reach a considerable part of the population sooner or later. It was positive for me," Bolsonaro said, referring to the Covid-19 test he took Monday.

Bolsonaro has derided coronavirus as just a "little flu," and previously appeared in public and at rallies without a mask, even hugging supporters.

He has encouraged the country to reopen, even as the number of cases rises, and has criticized local governments' efforts to stamp out the virus through social distancing measures, such as quarantine and shelter-in-place orders.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Let's hope this leads to Bolsonaro and Brasil taking the pandemic more seriously.

I'm hoping for a very swift end to his ailment.

The knife didn't get him. I hope the virus does.

This is a good time for Trump to make a state visit to Brazil.
