247 - Journalist Miriam Leitão, who gives credence to the information that Jair Bolsonaro contracted coronavirus, even though he uses the alleged illness to promote chloroquine, says that he will not become a better human being after the episode.

"The president even used his infection with the novel coronavirus as part of the disinformation campaign he has been waging since the beginning of this pandemic. Jair Bolsonaro is obsessed with his mistakes, sticking with them against all factual and scientific evidence. At no point has he understood the role of the president in this crisis, the power of example, and the function of representation. Yesterday was just another day in which he displayed his entire collection of dangerous errors. The only difference is that his test came back positive for the novel coronavirus," she writes in her... column.

"Bolsonaro could have had a moment of reflection and course correction. But he repeated the same blunders he has been making since the beginning of this pandemic, which is affecting us so painfully," laments the journalist, who supported the 2016 coup against former President Dilma Rousseff.
